Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. "A Brief History of Physical Education" provides a comprehensive overview of the development of physical training and athletics from antiquity through the early 20th century. Emmett A. Rice traces the evolution of human movement, beginning with the primitive activities of early civilizations and moving through the highly structured athletic ideals of Ancient Greece and the military-focused training of the Roman Empire. The work examines the shift in attitudes toward the body during the Middle Ages and the subsequent rebirth of physical culture during the Renaissance and Enlightenment periods.The text places significant emphasis on the rise of modern systems of gymnastics and the gradual integration of physical exercise into formal education systems across Europe and the United States. Readers will find detailed accounts of influential figures, pedagogical movements, and the social motivations that shaped the modern discipline of physical education. By exploring the philosophical foundations of exercise, Rice illustrates how physical training transformed from a utilitarian or military necessity into a vital component of holistic education. This study remains a foundational resource for understanding the historical development of sports, fitness culture, and the enduring quest for physical well-being within a scholarly context.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
