individual’s specific responses, habits &
behaviours that affect an individual’s
physical well-being.

Physical Well-being
Physical Well-being : The total of all
physical characteristics that are
responsible to affect one’s physical health
like height, weight, muscular-strength,
endurance, flexibility of joints, cardio-
respiratory endurance, body composition.

Physical Health
Physical Health : Most often associated
visible component of health. It is evident
from non-performance measures like
healthy blood liquid profiles, normal blood
pressure, blood sugar, blood insulin level
and other structural measures like body
composition.

Metabolic Fitness : Positive state of the
physiological systems commonly
associated with reduced risk for chronic
diseases such as diabetes and heart
disease mainly due to regular physical
activity and other positive lifestyle habits.
Metabolic fitness is evident from healthy
blood lipid profiles, B.P., blood sugar,
blood insulin level and other non-
performance measures like body
component.

The suggested course may be termed
Physical Personality Development that
may include the following topics essential
to know, learn to apply and manage by
changing ones attitude, skills and
knowledge of the acronym TRIM
EDUCATION FOR PALM-G By CAKE MEWA
HELP PC through a paper on Physical
Personality Development.

9
TRIM = Truthful, Required, Interest based,
Motivational.
EDUCATION = Ethical, Disciplined, Uniting (win-win
approach), Commitment, Abilities (Best Genetic
potential), Trust worthy, Information updating,
Ownership making (Arts over Science or
Artfulness), Nobility raising.
For = Formalized, Oneness making (Love), Reviewing
(Meditation).
PALM = Personality development, Art of living,
Livelihood earning & Management (two way i.e.
performance vs Remuneration like the thermostat
principle).

10
Reasons explaining that Why Physical
Personality Development & Health
Promotion Education Programme should
be made compulsory for all university
students especially those of the first
graduation degree course.

11
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
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
“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
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
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.

16
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.

17
U.S. Surgeon General’s Report on Physical
Activity & Health (1996) and Centres for
Disease Control and Prevention (1997)
Guidelines for Schools and Community,
both recommended daily physical
education for all students (K-12) to
promote lifelong physical activity.

18
Elementary school physical education
programme cannot only reach directly the
largest number of students but is also
essential for developing positive health
habits at an early age for sustaining a
healthy lifestyle as an adult.

19
Elementary schools have a critical role to
play in the promotion of the health of a
nation as it is directly crucial to national
physical personality development & health
and in directly responsible for the overall
personality development of all citizens.

20
“Quality physical education programs in
our schools and colleges are essential in
developing motor skills, physical
fitness,and understanding concepts that
foster LIFELONG HEALTHY LIFESTYLES
(NASPE, PE is critical Report, 2001).

21
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
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
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
Because Physical Personality Development
education (PPDE) helps improve the
overall health of all students by enhancing
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
lifestyle habits.

25
Because
Education (PPDE) helps in improving
mental alertness, academic performance,
readiness to learn, and enthusiasm for
learning among students.

26
Because
PPDE results in making students more
healthy and physically fit. Physically fit
adults have significantly reduced risk
factors for heart attacks & brain strokes.

27
Because
A report on Elementary Education in
America, recognized that elementary
schools have a special mandate to provide
elementary school children with attitudes,
skills, knowledge and habits that will equip
the children for a fit and healthy life.

28
Because
U.S. Senate resolved to make daily
physical education programme for all
children from Kindergarten through grade
12 as an essential part of a comprehensive
education.

29
Because
Healthy People 2010 recognizes the
contribution physical education can make,
and calls for increasing the number of
educational institutions that require daily
physical education for all students as an
essential part of overall education.

30
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
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.

32
Because Promoting Better Health for Young
People Through Physical Activity and Sports
(CDC, 2000) calls upon us to do more to
PROMOTE LIFELONG PARTICIPATION
IN PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. It is through
PPDE that students of all disciplines and faculties
can acquire attitudes, skills and knowledge for
lifelong participation in P.A. TO ENHANCE
HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF ALL
PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE
LIFESPAN.

33
Because Resources must be directed at
creating a wide range of ACCESSIBLE,
SAFE AND AFFORDABLE OPPORTUNITIES
to be active with in the school, the
COLLEGE, THE UNIVERSITY CAMPUS
and the community.

34
Because “Class room teachers could
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-
47.

35
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.

36
Because
Most people turn sedentary with age, with
affluence, with egoistic approach of the
higher degree holder educated people.

37
Because
Epidemiological studies indicate that small
duration, light to moderate exercise (with
right principles) have a significant effect
on preventing Coronary heart diseases
(CHD). USDHHS, 2000.

38
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
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
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
Because “All students of physical
personality development, would benefit
both personally and professionally from
learning the principles of wellness and
exercising”. Ibid, JOPERD, 2007, Page-39.

42
Because regular exercise at an appropriate
pace (FITT) can help to prevent and
manage (HOME of MD QC)s Heart
diseases, Osteoporosis, Morbidity, Obesity,
Falling risk at old age, Mental diseases
(stress/anxiety & depression), Diabetes
type-2 (non-insulin dependent), Powered
Quality of life and many types of Cancers.

43
Because
Cognizance of benefits of exercise and
recreation of sports may lead to success of
‘Sports for All’ mission taking sports
beyond champions and physical education
students.

44
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.

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.
52

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

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

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.
55

LIFE LONG NEED OF PAT*
Article 2.1 The continuity of physical
activity and the practice of sports must
be ensured throughout life by means of
a global, lifelong and democratized
education.
UNES
*PAT = Physical Activity Technology.
56

PERSONAL & SOCIAL
DEVELOPMENT
Article 2.2. At the individual level, physical
education and sport contribute to the
maintenance and improvement of health,
provide a wholesome leisure-time
occupation and enable man to overcome
the drawbacks of modern living. At the
community level, they enrich social
relations.
UNESCO (1978)
57

PAT & MASS MEDIA
Article 9.1 “Everyone involved in the
mass media be fully conscious of his
responsibilities having regard to the
social importance, the humanistic
purpose and the moral values
embodied in physical education and
sport”.
UNESCO (1978)
