History of physical education during dark ages?

Answer 1

No. There was no need. The people of the time had physical challenges in everything they did. They had to walk everywhere, they hunted, had weapons practice, and worked on the crops. If a building was built there were no machines to help and required people to carry the stones and pull the stones to where they were going to be placed.

Answer 2

There were very few people in the Middle Ages who underwent anything link what we might call physical education. But there were a few.

Boys training to be knights learned to handle weapons and practiced this intently.

Archers trained with bow and arrow. This was not insignificant training and the longbow took years of hard work to master. Its arrows could go through the armor of a knight.

I suppose there was training for performers, and this could have been intense, too.

Answer 3

There was no physical education. Life was physical just to live and they didn't need to get off the sofa to get fit. There was very little education except for the noble and priest classes. So, in a nutshell there is NO history of physical education in this time in history.

Answer 4

There was no need to have "physical education" in this time. Life was physical just to stay alive and education was rare among most of the population. People got up when the sun came up, sheared the sheep, planted the crops, fed the animals, fought the wars, reaped the crops, made the candles, hauled the water, baked the bread, wove the cloth, chopped the trees, cleared the land, built the fences, and did what was needed for the estate that they were bound to as well as trying to live, eat, stay warm, and try to stay alive. By the time they died at around age of 40 they had worked hard and lived hard.

Answer 5

There was no need for "physical education" in the middle ages. Life was a physical test just to live. People had to walk everywhere, they carried things to move anything around, they had to reap and sow crops, make candles, milk the cow, hunt the deer or boar, weave the cloth, to build anything required a great deal of physical strength, and didn't sit around watching TV or playing on computers.

Answer 6

Two things are wrong with this question. First, there are no pictures of physical education since there was no physical education in this time in history. It wasn't needed. There is some works of art that do show knights in battle and on the fields of tournaments as well as showing weapons practice, but that is as close as you can get. These are often in tapestry made at the time.

Answer 7

Physical education was not necessary during the Dark Ages. People already got a lot of physical activity through hunting and gathering.
