The methodology of physical education

Physical activity’s method has been analysed and placed in the current educational landscape. The importance of its educational action on the body and mind is also reported in the context of education in general and in the school environment. The primary aim of physical education is to develop all the body and mind skills. Physical education finds its raison d’être in methodological and didactic models that make it possible to introduce sports education and actual sport. The aims of physical education must be part of those of general education and a methodological dialogue must start from these premises: from what is to be achieved through movement and subordinate the choice of the means deemed most suitable for achieving them.
