Physical education teachers are the professionals who teach the subject of Physical Education, which is part of the compulsory curriculum in the different educational stages. In this sense, Physical Education should be understood as the planned, progressive and inclusive learning experience that acts as the starting point for a lifelong commitment to physical activity and sport. The learning experience offered to students through physical education classes should be appropriate to help them acquire the psychomotor skills, cognitive understanding, and social and emotional skills they need to lead a physically active lifestyle.

Therefore, they adapt the contents for each student, providing the appropriate pedagogical methods to acquire basic skills such as:

• Healthy physical activity: from the early stages they work with basic motor skills to put into operation the elementary motor and gestural schemes for the proper development of physical fitness and the adoption of an active lifestyle.

• Sport, effectively applying the techniques and tactics of different sports and putting into practice the values of sport in a competitive situation.

• Physical activity and free time, enjoying the practice of recreational physical activities, with special attention to those carried out in the natural environment, as well as planning and organising group activities for leisure purposes.

• Body expression and communication, using the expressive resources of one's own body for self-knowledge and to communicate with others as well as practicing activities with musical support, as a means of social relationship or community integration.
  

• Plan, organise and prepare the pedagogical activities, both in theoretical sessions and sports practice.
• Teach students the rules, techniques and tactics of the different sports disciplines, both individual and collective, such as gymnastics, basketball, athletics, soccer, volleyball, badminton, handball, etc.
• Evaluate students' progress and write the corresponding reports.
• Manage the sports equipment of the school, ensuring its condition, proper functioning and always controlling its availability.
• Motivate students to be interested in sport and physical activity through different strategies such as games, emphasizing the values of sport as respect for oneself (personal hygiene, healthy habits...) to others (tolerance, acceptance of diversity...) to the environment, the rules (use of equipment, facilities, fair play, sportsmanship...) socio-affective relationships, emotional control, etc.
• Contribute to the development of basic student skills such as motor control, teamwork, body expression, concentration, and the performance of simple and complex motor actions.
• Train students, especially secondary school, high school, vocational training or university students, in theoretical aspects of sport in terms of dietetics and nutrition for physical activity; in anatomy and physiology; the analysis of sports performance; the prevention and treatment of sports injuries, technology and physical exercise, as well as other more practical aspects.
