The Advisor of the conference and vice-president of Global Affairs and Research, HOPSports Inc, USA, Dr Ming-kai Chin said, “In the recent years, we have seen a significant growth in development of physical education, sport and health in terms of research and practical application in India”.

Dario Novak, a delegate from Croatia, presented a paper on current practices and researches related to physical education across the world. He said he focussed on current perceptions of physical education, guidelines and pathways describing it, and relevant solutions.

“The educational curriculum requires a change in order to include more physical education classes. Also, the emphasis of physical education should be on enhancing motor skills. However, if the focus is shifted to fun and enjoyment, many problems will be solved,” he added.
