Originally, physical education programs in the United States saw girls mostly involved with gymnastics, while the boys would partake in rougher activities. Schools across the country would begin to take health-related topics more seriously, both on the playground and in the classroom, and courses targeted toward physical development would be given more attention.Ĭolleges would follow suit as well, and schools all over the United States would eventually offer a variety of courses that would help to grow the physical ability, give a true understanding of the human body, and increase confidence among America's youth. However, over the course of time, physical education would develop into something much more monumental. The reasoning was similar to that of what the Greeks were using it for, which was to both educate and train soldiers for eventual battle.
By the mid-19th century, physical education would make its way to the United States.
