Question : As a Morally and physically weak Roman empire crumbled, Morally and physically strong teutonic barbarians overran the lends that once were pride of the Latins. The visigoths overran Spain, And vandals overran North Africa. The Francs overran Gaul, the angels and saxons overran Britain and the ostrogroths overran Italy. These invasions brought about the lowest ebb in literature and learning known to history.

Out of pagan and immoral Rome, Christianity and asceticism grew and thrived, certain individuals became incensed with immorality and Worldliness that existed in Roman society. They would not worship the Roman gods attend the bath or visit the games. They thought that all sorts of physical activity were foolish pursuits in that they designed to improve the body. They preached that the body and mind were distinct and separate entities in man and one had no bearing on the other. The Christian imperial theodosius abolished the Olympic games A.D.394 as being pagan.

Christianity believed that evil exists in the body, therefore, it should be subordinated to the spirit, which is pure. The body is possessed of the devil and should be tortured. Sach practices led to poor health and shattered nervous system on the part of many. As Christianity spread monasteries were built where Christians could isolate themselves from the world and its evils. Later schools were attached to these monasteries but early Christianity would not allow physical education to become a part of the curriculum. The medieval University also frowned physical education.

Another influence that has had a major impact on the history of physical education is scholasticism-the belief that facts are the most essential items is one's education. The key to a successful life is knowing the facts and developing one's mental and intellectual powers. Scholasticism the emphasized the physical as an unimportant and unnecessary. The moment developed among the scholarship and the universities of the medieval ages.
