P.E. in the past

The past activities in P.E. were based on the culture of that time period. It was not based on today's P.E. staying active, watching what a person eats and leadership. Past education did not have the technology that there is today. For example, past P.E. did not have the technology to look up information on what was healthy to eat and what was not healthy to eat. Past P.E. didn't have the knowledge we have today. In the past P.E. was required in school. Now, many schools are dropping P.E. to save money. Also, with more technology the healthier people became and the more aware people became of physical activity. I got this information from the book: Health The Basics, The author of the book is Rebecca J. Donatelle
