Today's physical education, exercise science, and sport studies programs have the potential to improve the quality of life for everyone.

The purpose of physical education, exercise science, and sport studies is to enhance lives through participation in physical activity. The growing interest in health and fitness contributes to the achievement of this purpose.

Cognitive development, affective development, and psychomotor development objectives are achieved through today's programs in these dynamic fields.

The allied fields of health, recreation, and dance share some curricula and purposes.

Physical educators, exercise scientists, and leaders in sports programs are continually challenged to instill in Americans of all ages the importance of participating in regular physical activity.
