A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON PHYSICAL EDUCATION OBJECTIVES IN DIFFERENT EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
The deep significance of physical education is highlighted through its contribution to the harmonious development of personality, by providing a functional balance between its components, particularly between the physical and the mental ones. The educator/trainer has to undertake two major tasks in the work of educating the young generation, namely, the development and strengthening of the students' health, as well as their harmonious physical, intellectual and moral development which represent defining features of our activity. Physical Education aims at developing a harmonious body, at strengthening health and at cultivating physical qualities (Cretu, 1999, Jinga & Istrate, 1998).
In the value system of the society, biological health is an essential value which overlaps nature’s health and humans’ mental health. Constrained by this double necessity, physical education and sports is the subject of hereditary and environmental conditioning (Calin, 1996), whereas the beauty and harmony of physical exercises facilitate the formation of aesthetic qualities (Nicola, 1994).
This paper does not propose a theoretical work on physical education methodology, but a practical contribution to this issue. School education, in our society, raises educational problems of great complexity. If in respect of general educational work in secondary education, the curricula contribute positively to the formation of the team of educators through its scientific content, in terms of the intellectual, moral, practicalapplicative content, there is still a vast field of research which should to be addressed in physical education.
In this study, we have tried to highlight the modalities of organising physical education activities in line with the set objectives, the relationships formed against the background of correct acquiring of ageconditioned motor abilities, the communication between children, and some peculiarities in applying specific methods and procedures to a given content of curriculum.

Comparative Study on the Application of Information Technology in Physical Education Lessons for Primary School Students
In today's digital age, information technology has become an integral part of the educational process, influencing various subjects, including physical education. This study explores how information technology can be applied in the physical education classes of primary school students, comparing its effectiveness and impact on student performance and engagement. The study involved two groups of primary school pupils: an experimental group, which used information technology during physical education classes, and a control group, which followed traditional methods. Data were collected through direct observation and physical performance tests. The objectives of the study were to assess how technology influences student engagement and motivation and to analyze the differences in physical performance between the two groups. The research identified both the benefits and challenges of integrating information technology, demonstrating that it has a positive impact on student engagement and performance.

STUDY REGARDING THE PRACTICE OF TRACK AND FIELD DRILLS OUTSIDE PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLASSES BY SECONDARY SCHOOL PUPILS
This paper tries to support the idea that physical education, as an educational discipline,
has among its prime objectives to get the child used to a permanent practice of movement, of
physical exercise, under various forms. Over the course of physical education classes, the pupils
are guided towards an independent practice of physical exercise during their leisure time.
With this study we wanted to see how the motivation for exercise evolves outside physical
education classes, in secondary school children, especially concerning track and field drills. -
STUDY REGARDING THE WAYS IN WHICH THE GYM-BALLS CAN BE USED DURING THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION LESSONS
The starting point for this research was the belief that the Klein ball, or the gym-ball,
being a teaching means accessible to any P.E. teacher, can be successfully used for attaining
different objectives of the physical education lesson. A thorough study of this problem will help
us to improve the primary and secondary school physical education lesson.
Improving the didactic process is about a maximal capitalization of the usage possibilities
of the teaching methods. The gym-ball is a modern teaching tool, present in most schools with
normal material conditions, offering a large number of ways in which it can be used during the
physical education lesson. The variety of uses chases the monotony, and increases the pupils'
interest, and also increases the lessons' level of enjoyment.
