Abstract
It is argued that focusing on overcoming movement challenges in which skill
development plays a role but is not the focus of teaching in physical education,
provides a different and more rational perspective than that which has evolved from
the current focus on FMS. This argument is supported by findings from sociological
research and philosophical theories. Based on the arguments presented in this paper,
it is proposed that contextualized (e.g., game-based) approaches are of more value
than focusing on FMS only, especially when the aim is to stimulate purposeful
physical activity in an educational context.
