ANS. 1. GOALS OF HISTORY OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY -

Physical education teaches us about the changes and stability in the past that helps in making good decisions in the present for the future. The goals of the history of physical activity are the identification and describing the patterns of change and stability in the physical activity in societies during a particular time.

Physical education was discovered in the late 17^th century and that time, western culture was planning to create social rules for people to co-exist. Ways of developing and preserving physical strength among people were the social initiative of that time.

Historians of physical activity have two major goals –

• To identify and describe the patterns of change and stability in physical education.
• Analyze the patterns of change as well as stability in physical activity.

it means once you start focusing beneath the surface of social life then your goal is to identify and analyze the changes in physical activity.
