Physical exercises
Physical exercises totality of all motor activities that are realized in motor learning, exercising (training) and in sport competition. Most likely based on the knowledge about the central role of the body in the life of the human being as well as on an original play and performance drive of the human being, physical exercises have been known since the earliest developmental phases of the human being, as utilitarian, work, and combat movements such as walking, running, jumping, hopping, carrying, pushing, pulling, hanging, supporting, swinging, rolling, throwing, catching, kicking, balancing, etc. The predominant functions of physical exercises are securing of existence and health (e.G. » Dietetics), life interpretation in cults (e.G. In greek antiquity, some traces of this jean still be found in modern olympic ceremonies), and realization of a certain educational ideal (e.G. With the » philanthropists). Irrespective of the various cultures, physical exercises have been the main content of all historic sport movements (callisthenics, gymnastics, play, and sport movement) and follow goals from the areas of health, recreation, performance, forming of personality, etc. The former socialist nations have been using the term physical exercises widely, while in western countries (approx. Since the 1970s) the term has been increasingly replaced by "sport", which - despite a holistic meaning - bears the inherent danger of limiting the meaning of the term to high-performance sport and competition. Only within the framework of pedagogy is the term » physical education still used. (H.Haag &g. Haag, dictionary, 2003, 363p)
