From the supplier: The Association for the Advancement of Physical Education was created in 1885. It is now called the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance. After World War II, the emphasis on physical fitness increased at the college level but was limited to the support for men's athletic activities. In the 1960s, the physical education profession began to emerge as a serious discipline. In the 1970s and 1980s, the emphasis on health and nutrition gave physical fitness a new meaning. The future of the physical education profession depends upon improved training for its practitioners and an increase in the profession's areas of specialization.
