A study of Paul Lengrand’s philosophy of lifelong physical education

Abstract

By employing a combination of literature review and logical induction, Paul Lengrand’s lifelong writings regarding philosophy of physical education were methodically gathered, classified and synopsized. An astute analysis has indicated that Paul Lengrand’s lifelong perspective on philosophy of physical education was shaped, in no small measure, by his singular historical context, societal exigencies, and personal encounters. Moreover, it has been revealed that his outlook on philosophy of physical education was an extension of his ardent commitment to lifelong education philosophy, while simultaneously enhancing and refining it. Physical education and sports are important contents of lifelong physical education. Sports should not be seen as a muscle activity, but should be combined with the current situation, morality and art, and the period should be integrated with lifelong education. Centered unequivocally around embracing physical exercise across all junctures of human existence, physical education was regarded as an indispensable dimension of life that exemplifies the durability, gradual progression, and comprehensiveness of lifelong physical education philosophy.
