What does lifelong learning mean in the aims of physical education?
Lifelong learning in physical education means maintaining an ongoing willingness to learn, practise and improve after formal schooling has ended. A person may continue developing fitness, movement skills, knowledge of health, safety habits and understanding of different activities throughout adulthood and later life. The purpose is not necessarily competitive excellence; it is to support sustained participation and well-being according to changing age, ability and circumstances. Playing only at school or practising only for an examination is temporary and therefore does not represent lifelong learning. Learning a sport and then abandoning all activity also contradicts the idea. Hence option A is correct because it combines continuous improvement with lifelong health and active living.
