Because the Carnegie Commission report,
High School, stated (Boye, 1983) “Clearly
no knowledge is more critical than
knowledge about health. Without, it no
other life goal can be successfully
achieved”.
12. 12
Physical Personality Development
Because the NASPE’s Council on Physical
Education for Children (2000) proved that
physical education can affect both
academic learning and physical activity
patterns of students, which ultimately are
responsible for their health.
13. 13
Physical Personality Development
“The Healthy I.e. physically active student
is more likely to be academically
motivated, alert and successful ………
Throughout the student years, quality
physical education can promote social, co-
operative, and problem solving
competencies.”
14. 14
Physical Personality Development
Available data suggest that the rate of
academic learning per unit of class time is
enhanced in physically active students, so
that lack of curricular time is not a valid
reason for denying students a daily
programme of quality physical education
(Shephard, 1997).
15. 15
Physical Personality Development
The U.S. Senate resolution noted many
contribution physical education makes to
educational objectives. It recognized that
ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS have a special
mandate to teach students knowledge,
skills and habits and also develop attitudes
that will enable them to lead a FIT AND
HEALTHY LIFE.

U.S. National Health reports clearly
establish that daily quality P.E.
Programmes for all students (and for
individuals of ALL AGES through institutes
of Lifelong Learning) can contribute to the
attainment of our national health goals.

Research has shown that children
engaged in daily physical education show
superior motor fitness, academic
performance, and attitude toward school
compared to their peers who did not
participate in physical education (NASPE :
Shape of the Nation Report, 2001).
22. 22
Physical Personality Development
The importance of developing and
sustaining positive health habits early in
child’s development cannot be overlooked.
Hence, physical education is important for
the overall education of all students
(Wuest & Bucher, 2006).
23. 23
Physical Personality Development
The U.S. Senate and the House of
Representatives passed a resolution in
1987 encouraging state and local
governments and local educational
agencies to provide quality daily physical
educational programmes for all children
from kindergarten through grade 12.
24. 24

cardio-vascular endurance, muscular
strength & power, flexibility of joints,
improved posture, skillful moving, weight
regulation, improved bone development,
constructive use of leisure time and active

Because
NASPE recommended that educational
institutions must make physical education
instruction “the cornerstone of a
systematic physical activity promotion in
their instructional programme (NASPE
2001a).
31. 31

Because in 1995 NASPE published ‘Moving
into the Future : National Students for
Physical Education whereby both content
– “what students should know and be able
to do in physical education” and
performance – “how good is good
enough” standards were prescribed from
students in grades K through 12.

PROMOTE LIFELONG PARTICIPATION
IN PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. It is through
PPDE that students of all disciplines and faculties
can acquire attitudes, skills and knowledge for

contribute more to the fight against
obesity, inactive unhealthy habits, if all
teacher preparation programmes (ETE,
B.El.Ed., B.Ed., M.Ed)s included (one
paper on)s wellness and exercise
principles”. M.F. Cavallini, J.C. Wendt, &
D. Rice, 2007, JOPERD Vol78 No.8, 38-

Physical Personality Development
Because “Indeed, Coronary heart disease
is more often caused by a sedentary
lifestyle than by the other three factors
combined together (Smoking,
Hypertension and Hyper-Lipidemia)”.
USDHHS, 2005.
38. 38
Physical Personality Development
Because “Modern changes in culture with
increased time spent in front of television,
computer and other technical devices have
discouraged physical activity among
children and adult alike and have led to
sedentary lifestyles even among the
university graduates who have no formal
chance of getting first hand information
about the role of exercise & P.A. in
preventing morbidity, stress and
premature death (MSD)”. Ibid. JOPERD.
39. 39
Physical Personality Development
Because “Unsafe Environmental
conditions, fast paced lifestyles have also
encouraged to indulge in unhealthy
convenience foods and have discouraged
physical activity”. Ibid, JOPERD, 2007.
40. 40
Physical Personality Development
Because
Incidence of overweight in children and
teens is increasing enormously (e.g. it has
trippled in USA from 1980 to 2002, US
DHHS, 2005). This has resulted in a
dramatic increase in type 2 diabetes (non-
insulin dependent) among youths and a
substantial occurrence of metabolic
syndrome among obese children and
adolescents. Ibid, JOPERD. Page-39.
41. 41
Physical Personality Development
Because “All students of physical
personality development, would benefit
both personally and professionally from

Physical Personality Development
Keeping in view the above scenario of
egoistic ‘no’ by the existing un-integrally
educated university degree holders and
discontented teacher education courses, it
is the best opportunity to utilize inter-
disciplinary course options and ILLL
facilities for reinforcing existing higher
education for each individual’s lifelong
personality development.

52. INVERTED APPROACH
Keeping in mind these constraints
and hurdles in the rapid
development possible through duly
coordinated management, we the
physical educationists will have to
work in the reverse cycle to current
cycle of picking the talented.

53. Literature Review : Library Books
Interdisciplinary books like Covey (1989),
UNESCO (1996), Hoeger & Hoeger (1999),
Anspaugh & Ezel (2003), Loehr & Schwartz
(2003), Covey (2004), Taub et. (2007),
Robbins et al (2008), Kansal (2008) Hellison
(2011) etc. are rarely found in university
libraries, probably due to the absence of any
common mechanism to manage
interdisciplinary books.
53
54. Research Propositions
1. There is an urgent need for creating
Measurement & Evaluation wings along with
a healthy CAKE (Centre of Application of
Knowledge Evaluated ).
2. Standardized definition of education is
needed which must be separate from
university qualifying degrees.
3. Delors Commission and UNESCO charter of
physical education & sports (1978) for
human rights should be scientifically
managed for assuring implementation.
54
55. STANDARDIZED DEFINITION OF
PHYSICAL EDUCATION IN USA
Fortunately, unlike education, the definition of physical
education has already been standardized by the commission set
in USA for the same. According to this definition, physically
educated person is one who fulfills the following measurable
qualities (NASPE, 1995 & 2004 ) :-
1. Who has learnt the benefits of physical activities.
2. Skills needed to perform variety of physical activities.
3. Keeps fit.
4. Participates in regular physical activities and
5. Values the implications of participation in regular
physical activities on healthful living and one's
wellness.
