What contributes to academic achievement in the Cognitive Domain of physical education?

Physical skill development
Reflex movements
Knowledge of exercise and health
Instinctive movement patterns

The correct answer is: Knowledge of exercise and health

Cognitive development in physical education primarily pertains to the understanding of concepts related to exercise, health, fitness, and overall well-being. Knowledge of exercise and health equips students with the ability to make informed decisions regarding their physical activities and lifestyle choices. This knowledge not only enhances their performance in physical tasks but also fosters a deeper appreciation for the importance of being physically active and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Consequently, this cognitive understanding plays a critical role in achieving academic success through improved focus, discipline, and an understanding of the benefits of physical activity. Physical skill development, reflex movements, and instinctive movement patterns contribute to physical proficiency and athletic performance, and while they are essential aspects of physical education, they do not inherently enhance cognitive abilities related to academics. Therefore, the connection between knowledge of exercise and health and academic achievement is more pronounced in the cognitive domain.
