Origins of Curriculum in Physical Education

It originated in the civilization of the ancient Greeks, deriving from the Latin word 'curro' (I run) or 'currere' (to be running).

The 'curriculum' for the ancient Greeks was a running track around which athletes would run and compete.

The running track can be in straight lines, circular, flat, with hurdles, or a steeplechase.
