American Physical Education and Sport from 1941 to today
The purpose of the chapter was to review the changes that have occurred in physical education since World War I. When a large percentage of men failed to meet the military fitness standards physical education become focused on improving the health and fitness level of population for the war effort. This causes the tendency for physical educations to adapt physical training programs for military preparedness through World War II. Decades following World War II the Korean War and the Kraus-Weber Tests implied that American elementary school children were much less fit than their counterparts in other nations. This caused the physical education to focus on physical training. Then during the space race, physical education was reduced as a push toward the sciences increased. Thus, there was a push toward making physical education more science based. This transition was presented by Franklin Henry and Bryant Conant. However, the chapter notes that:

What this suggests was that the reaction of physical educators to Conant 's criticism says more about what the discipline thought about itself than it does about outside pressure causing reform. Indeed, Conant 's criticisms of physical education amount to only a few paragraphs out of two hundred pages. Such sensitivity on the part of physical educators implies a far deeper vein of disquiet than could have been instigated by either Conant or Henry.”
Following the progression toward a science-based physical education, the next major change that came about to physical education was Title IX and the development of sport. The development of sport helped encourage physical training in physical educations classes to aid in the development of athletes. This was said to be due ultimately to the business portion of
From 1988 to 2000 there have been rules passed, legislation that has failed, and legislation denied a hearing regarding Title IX. The most recent laws and acts that have passed have come between February 20, 2001, and June 23, 2012. In 2001 the Supreme Court declared a conundrum with the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association (TSSAA) in the case Brentwood v. Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association. The court found that the TSSAA was in violation of Title IX stating “the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment applies to athletic associations in gender equity suits” (“History”). As the TSSAA was found to be a state actor, it was held to the same standards as government offices regarding First and 14th Amendment matters.
We shouldn’t shield people from adversity, but prepare them to meet any situation and environment by equipping them to adapt and sports is a great way to do this. 13. History of adaptive sports and government regulations and how we have come a long way in a short period of time. 14. The impact of both the Shepherd Center and Lakeshore Foundation. 15.
Keeping well known athletes is a job for the athletic trainer. For instance, Athletic trainers recognize injuries and evaluate how to resolve the injury and they range from pee-wee sports all the way to the professional level of sports. Being an Athletic Trainer requires knowledge about the human body, social skills to speak to the patients and coaches, and responsibility skills.

Athletic training offers many opportunities and characteristics that interests me for my future career. Athletic trainers get flexible work hours, multiple benefits, many great opportunities, and much more. They get to work with various types and ages of people from children to adults and work in many different areas. Athletic trainers have a wide range of jobs. They apply protective or injury-preventive devices along with basic first aid treatment.
The importance of children’s athletics is for kids to have fun. When the child stops getting enjoyment out of the sport, then it is the parent’s job to take them out. Sports can have many positive effects on a child’s life, but it is important to remember too much of a good thing can make it a hurtful thing. As the culture of youth athletics spirals out of control, it is the parent’s responsibility to save the child from short-term and, unfortunately, long-term damage. Parents need to evaluate how far they are willing to go for youth athletics and when they will have taken their obsession too
Sports have always been a male dominate sport, especially in schools. It took many years of schooling and fighting for females to be able to participate in sports and have equal education opportunities. “The passage of Title IX, the 1972 Education Amendments to the Civil Rights Act, expanded high school athletic opportunities to include girls, revolutionizing mass sports participation in the United States (Rammell, 2014, pg. 136).” Since the legislation, Title IX was passed, sports offerings for boys and girls has changed. Title IX has created many opportunities for girls and young women today since it began 40 years ago.
Many people do not know the law Title IX. Most people who have an idea of it think it only applies to women’s sports. Title IX, signed into law by President Richard M. Nixon, states that, “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex be excluded from participating in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance”. The word “sports” was not at all stated in the definition. It is just one of the many reasons why Title IX was passed.

The career choice that I have chosen is to become an athletic trainer. I love to play sports and be around sports, so I think that being an athletic trainer would be a good career for me. I like to help people and make an impact in other peoples life and becoming an athletic trainer would allow me to help people recover, start to feel better, and get back to what they have to do. There isn’t much better than doing a career that you enjoy and like to do plus making pretty good money doing it. I just feel that becoming an athletic trainer and doing it as a career would be the best fit for me.
One of the key to the successful teaching of physical education is the use of a broad range of approaches and methodologies. As it is acknowledged that schools, classes and teachers will vary, some methods will suit particular circumstances better than others, and the nature of the strands themselves necessitates the use of a variety of teaching methods. There is a need to examine the teaching methods which will best enhance the achievement of the objectives, taking factors such as the content and context of the lesson into account, as well as the needs of the learner. Teaching means sharing, guiding, changing behavior, impressing, disciplining, counseling, directing and inspiring. Good teaching is a process of producing end products of
The video I choose for this assignment is called Teaching Physical Education: 7th Grade Team Handball taught by Connor Vincent. The video lasted 37.13 minutes. The PE class was held inside a gymnasium with both boys and girls participating with approx. 30 kids participating. Mr. Vincent was the only instructor in the class and you could tell he was trying to play a game all the students could participate in at one time.
It has been a topic, often discussed about amongst students and school all across America. “ Should P.E be mandatory?” students and teachers often debate on whether to make physical education mandatory. Although many students claim that P.E is a fun way to exercise, some students think otherwise. A high number of students say that P.E is a waste of time, and is more torture than it is education.
Physical education would start in just about 1820 when schools focused on gymnastics, hygiene training and care and development of the human body. By the year 1950, over 400 institutes had introduced majors in physical education. Colleges were encouraged to focus on intramural sports particularly track, field and football. But now, in the 21st Century schools are starting to rethink if they should have it in their curriculum. In our era right now children are becoming more obese and overweight than ever due to all of the electronic distractions in today 's society.
The term inclusion is often seen as simply referring to learners with special needs, where it is interpreted as the ‘complete acceptance of a student with a disability in a regular classroom.’ However the notion can be viewed much more broadly. A common misconception about inclusion is that it is solely about including people with disability in regular sport activities without any modification. (Australian sports commission) However being inclusive is about providing a range of options to cater for people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds, in the most appropriate manner possible.
The use of information communication and technology, is not only limited to the walls of the classroom, but also extends to the extra-curricular activities including the likes of sports and cultural activities and certain technological devices and systems can be applied to enhance or better the performances of students in these areas, these include cameras, mobile phone cameras, motion analysis software, film editing, portable media players, interactive whiteboards, voice projections systems,pedometers,stopwatches,video conferencing, YouTube and the virtual learning environment. There are a wide range of ICT hardware applications that can be used with sports or cultural activities department. Video cameras can provide the learners with videos
