The meaning of the word gymnasium comes from the Greek word “γυμνάζω” that means gymnastic exercise. For the modern world the meaning of the word gymnasium is an educational department. First gymnasiums appeared in the ancient Greece and in the 5th century they became educational departments.

In the 16th century gymnasiums were widespread among the intellectual rich people. Before the 16th century gymnasiums were called secondary schools that were divided into monastic, order and community based on the ancient Rome curriculum. The main subjects were grammar, rhetoric, arithmetic, geometry, music and astronomy, logics, physics and ethics.

During the Reformation epoch a new tendency appeared. It was classic scholastic trend. It influenced on many humanistic schools appearance. They were also called lyceums, gymnasiums, scientific schools and pedagogiums.

Together with gymnasiums the middle of the 16th century was the era of Jesuitical boards whose three grades corresponded to gymnasium. They were called inferiora studia and consisted of 5 forms:

• infima grammatica,

• media grammatica,

• suprema gramm., or syntaxis,

• humanitas

• rhetorica;

The first teacher exam was founded in the 19th century. After it the German scientists defined true meaning of the word gymnasium. It was “the school for the population that wants to be advanced with the help of the humanity laws knowledge”.  The most important means for that aim the gymnasium took from the ancient languages and math. The main ancient language is Latin. Math sciences included arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, zoology and even mineralogy. A great role was played by the home language and literature. The basic subject was Scripture while the secondary ones were new languages, history and geography, calligraphy, drawing and gymnastics. The ancient languages ruling position has remained in modern gymnasiums too that is not welcomed by many.

By the beginning of the 20th century gymnasiums existed in Austria-Hungary, Prussia, Bulgary and Russia. In France they were presented by Lycées и Collèges, in England were by Grammar-Schools, Grammar-Colleges and High Schools, in the United States of America the gymnasium examples were Grammar-Schools and High Schools, in Belgium did Athénées, Spanish gymnasiums were Institutes and colegios, Italian were licei (its ginnasi had pre-gymnasium features), Switzerland had cantonal schools (Cantonschulen), and Scandinavian countries did “erudite schools”. The gymnasium basic system of the 20th century has continued to our days.

P.E. lessons are often considered to be something secondary and compulsory. Today many pupils neglect them. And even parents try to do all their best to get rid their children of the “terrible” P.E. lessons. But they do a cardinal sin. Why is Physical Education Important?

School P.E. plays a great role in the individuality development of a pupil. It doesn’t only improve the health but it increases the communication level, social activity of a child.
The least tiresome for children is an independent motion activity. That’s why school P.E. lessons often provide children with free activity programs. They can be realized outdoors, in the gym and so on. Very often a definite range of exercises is done with music. It develops child’s hearing, sense of rhythm and pupil’s attention.  P.E. at school is obligatory followed by the medical examination – the examination of health, development and fitness pf children. Medical examination data allows the doctor recommends special physical exercises, workload and methods of its application.

Junior school P.E lessons continue to develop child’s stamina, deftness, hands and legs power, coordination of movements, skills of participation in team games. All these methods are applied according to the child’s organism peculiarities of the age. The greatest role is played by the junior school P.E. lessons. Why is Physical Education Important at the early age?

Junior school P.E. lessons continue to teach children:

• Breath right, combine motion and breathing together;

• Complicated walk and run;

• Hurdle race;

• Initial skills of long and high running jumps;

• Throw up and catch the ball with one or two hands;

• Throw the ball to the aim from various distances;

• Climb gymnastics wall by any ways;

• Sport team games elements;

• Swimming, skiing.

The upper school P.E. lessons are needed to form exercises habit for the whole life. School physical education should bring up the orientation to the healthy life-style of students. It should stimulate a person to further P.E. independent exercises.
It’s important to note that school P.E. plays a great role in prophylactics of the children asocial behavior.

But certainly it also has its own problems. Children with psychological and physical aberration are free from the P.E. lessons. But P.E. teachers should remember that such type of pupils need salutary influence of the P.E. on their organism.
