P.E. (Physical Education) and sports are practised with the object of humanbeing and its nature is to make the mind and the body healthy. It is pitiful matter that today's P.E. & sports distorted by the record and result of the game are destroying human health. Such problem was already studied correctly in the ancient time by medical Scientist, Hippocrates. He said that to promote the health one should not depend upon only medical knowledge or medical oure, not even on the p.e. & sports emphasising bodily skills. He admonished that the blind dependency on the p.e. & sports would only make the body unhealthy.
Hippocrates, from his investigation about the relationship between medical care and the p.e. & sports, laid the academic foundation for the sports medicine, therapeutic exercise and the exercise physiology. Therefore this paper attempted to analyse his spiritual world, academic thought, scientific attitude and his influence on the development of p.e. & sports. Also from his viewpoint on the mind and body modern meaning of p.e & sports was attempted to be grasped.
