Physical Education Vocabulary

• Physical Education Vocabulary for Kids
• Planning and Resources

To keep your body strong and healthy, you have to move and be active every day. Kids need daily exercise just like older people do, but there's no law that says you can't have fun while you exercise your body. You probably have physical education classes at school where you learn about different types of exercise and physical activity. Keep moving even when you're not in gym class so you can grow and get stronger as you get older. These physical education vocabulary words will help you learn all about exercise and healthy activity.

Aerobic activity:  An activity would be aerobic if it involves steady activity that increases your heart and breathing rates.

Agility:  When you can change your body position and move quickly and accurately, you have agility.

Anaerobic activity:  If you exercise to the point where your body can't supply enough oxygen to the muscles to keep it going, you're engaging in an anaerobic activity. Sprinting is an example of an anaerobic activity, because you can't keep sprinting for a long time.

Balance:  Balance is the ability to maintain or regain a stable body position.

Cardiovascular fitness:  When your lungs, heart, and blood vessels can function efficiently while you exercise, you have cardiovascular fitness.

Circuit training:  Circuit training is a type of exercise routine that involves moving from one type of exercise to the next to work different muscles.

Cool down:  After exercising, cool down to bring your heart rate down gradually and help your muscles recover.

Coordination:  Someone who can put together movements using different body parts and control their movements has coordination.

Cramp:  If a muscle or group of muscles contracts suddenly and painfully, you have a cramp. Cramps can be very short, or they might last for a long time.

Endurance:  Endurance is the ability to keep exercising and moving for a long period of time.

Exercise:  When you exercise, you exert your body. Exercise might involve cardiovascular activity, strength training, or flexibility training.

Fatigue:  If you are very tired after a long day or after exercising, you are fatigued.

Free weight:  Weights that aren't attached to some type of equipment are free weights.

Hydration:  Your body needs a minimum balance of fluids to stay hydrated and to function correctly.

Intensity:  Intensity is measured by how hard you perform a physical activity.

Interval training:  Interval training is a type of exercise where you go back and forth between periods of work and periods of rest.

Muscle:  Muscles make it possible for you to move your bones, lengthening and shortening to cause body movement.

Muscular endurance:  Your muscular endurance is the ability of your muscles to continue working to carry, push, or pull weight.

Pulse:  As your heart pumps blood through your arteries, this creates a rhythmic beat, known as your pulse. You can feel your pulse in various places, including at the wrist and on the side of your neck.

Range of motion:  Your range of motion is the amount of movement your joints can make.

Relaxation:  When you spend time consciously trying to reduce your intensity, tension, or anxiety, you are relaxing.

Repetitions:  If you repeat an exercise or movement over and over, you are doing repetitions. An example of a repetition might be the number of times you perform a sit-up.

Resistance:  Resistance is the opposite of a movement or force.

Set:  A set is a group of repetitions performed for an exercise. For example, if you are doing sit-ups, you might perform three sets of ten sit-ups for 30 sit-ups total.

Sport:  A sport is a type of physical recreation performed as an individual or as a team.

Stretching:  When you perform exercises to improve your flexibility, you are stretching. Stretching regularly and holding your stretch positions can help you increase your flexibility.

Workout:  A workout is a type of physical activity that you might do to improve your fitness level. Workouts can involve weight training or cardiovascular activities.

Weight training:  When someone lifts weights to get stronger, they are weight training.

Vocabulary Worksheets To Use With Any Word List (Free Download)

Eight pages of fun and engaging word practice.

Got a weekly vocabulary list? Then this download is for you! We designed it specifically to be used with any eight-word list. (Doing more than eight words? That’s OK! Use the deep-dive pages for individual words, have students use the back for additional words, or let them pick and choose.) We have eight pages for diving deep into this important word work. For each of these, you can have students fill out the words or you can write them on super-handy vocabulary worksheets.

Definition Detectives

For each vocabulary word, students write what they think the word means. Then, they use a dictionary to find out what it really means!

Sketch It Out!

Students will write their vocabulary words on the lines in each box and draw a picture showing the meaning of each word.

Write It Out!

For each vocabulary word, students write a sentence that shows they know what the word means by using context clues. For example, “She is timid” doesn’t show that they know what timid means, but “The timid toddler hid behind her mom and wouldn’t answer my questions” does.

Parts of Speech Sort

Students will sort their vocabulary words into the correct category: noun, verb, adjective, or adverb.

Riddle Me This

Invite students to pick one of their vocabulary words and write four clues that would help someone correctly guess the word (they can use a dictionary to help them). Then they can try it out on a classmate!

Vocabulary Four Square

For a vocabulary word of their choice, students write its definition, give a synonym and antonym, draw a picture of it, and use it in a sentence.

For each of the vocabulary words, students roll the die and complete the assigned activity.

1 = Define the word.

2 = Use the word in a sentence.

3 = Write a synonym for the word.

4 = Write an antonym for the word.

5 = Draw a picture of the word.

6 = Act out the word for someone.

Using all the words in their vocabulary list, students write a simple story.
