More about the book
The book explores the transformation in physical education from a focus on gymnastics to an emphasis on sport techniques over the past century. It examines the implications of this shift, particularly the commodification and commercialization of physical culture, as well as the academicization of teaching practices. These trends raise concerns about the prioritization of sport-related skills and their impact on the overall purpose and effectiveness of physical education.
