Question and Answer Key - History of PE

Physical education originated in ancient Greece, where it was valued in Athens for developing a healthy physique and producing soldiers, and in Sparta it served military purposes and mental health training by producing an army. The Greco-Roman view was that the human body could be altered through physical education according to man's will. Physical education was generally discouraged in medieval Europe as this view was rejected, but it was later introduced in U.S. schools in 1820 with a focus on gymnastics, hygiene, and body development, encouraging sports like track, field, and football in colleges.
