1. The two goals outlined in this chapter of history of physical activity are: to recognize patterns that display change and stability within physical activity in different societies during a certain time and to investigate the patterns that were found in physical activity in specific societies during certain times. Kinesiologists that take this information into account can learn from the trends and adapt their training as they see fit. For example, many training machines that are found in gyms all over are based off of models that can be traced back to the early 1900s and even some from the late 1800s. Even coaches can benefit from looking at history as they can analyze tactics of previous coaches before them and choose strategies and techniques that works for their program and goals. Also having a knowledge of what happened in the past can help make decisions for physical activity today. People can look back at sports or other forms of physical activity that were still developing and determine what works and what doesn't work. This allows for the adaptation of rules or techniques. A good example of this is the National Football League. Every year their committee analyzes issues from the year(s) before to decide if their needs to be rules added or revised. One new rule added this year is that both offensive and defensive pass interference calls are now reviewable. Kinesiologists can also look at history of physical activity to notice trends of more participation or a lack of it during certain periods of time to determine certain factors that make the participation fluctuate. They then can attempt to increase physical activity in the midst of those factors.
