The challenge that faces students in physical education in their future careers is to formulate an expert response to the huge needs of our society as far as physical movement is concerned. The objective of the training in physical education is therefore to become a professional in movement.
Physical education professionals maximize the movement potential of human beings to benefit their health. To do this they must fully understand the characteristics of movement and its effects and use them in education. They know their target audiences in terms of age and their motor, physiological, psychological or sociological features. They can organize, communicate and use their skills and knowledge appropriately. They are anxious to assess their practices and update them.
