PYOTR LESGAFT

Part 1

The figure who made the most important impression on physical education was Pyotr Frantsevich Lesgaft (1837—1909), biologist, anatomist, educationalist and social reformer — the founder of the new discipline of physical education.

Lesgaft started his career in 1861 as a teacher of anatomy at

the St Petersburg Academy of Medicine; he was subsequently invited to take up a professorship at the University of Kazan and went there in 1868, but was soon dismissed for his outspoken criticism of the unscientific methods used. For a while, from 1872, he worked as consultant on therapeutic gymnastics in the private surgery of Dr Berlindt but, after the publication of several articles and books (including a descriptive history of sport in Europe and ancient Greece and an article, published in 1874), he was in charge of the physical training of military cadets. The next year, 1875, he was commissioned by the War Ministry to spend two summers in Western Europe studying the systems of physical education current there. Altogether, he visited 26 cities in 13 Western European states. The British system was evidently most to his liking, although he abhorred the "strict orders, fagging and lording of senior pupils over juniors" that he witnessed in some public schools. He also visited the Central Army Gymnastics School at Aldershot, the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich and Oxford University. What especially took his fancy was "English predilection for strict rules of hygiene, competitive games in the open air, long walks and boat trips, swimming and other regular exercises". On his return, in 1877, he published his Relationship of Anatomy to Physical Education and the Major Purpose of Physical Education in Schools, in which he outlined a physical education programme for military colleges. He was, in fact, able to supervise its progress in twelve academies. At the same time, he took a keen interest in organizing courses for physical education instructors for the military academies — provision for which, until then, had been non-existent.
