PE teachers can wreck your health. Dr Anne Elliott found that bad experiences in school PE actively deterred people from taking exercise in later life & led to a state of alienation from their own bodies. http://eprints.mdx.ac.uk/22163/

Replying to @Cavalorn
I hated PE so much that in high school when it became optional I dropped it immediately. Being forced to run a quarter marathon at 13, the beep test (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-stage_fitness_test …), shit like that. It's a shame because I found out as an adult I do enjoy exercise.

Omg i have asthma and was forced to perform the beep test despite breathing issues that day. That bitch of a gym teacher scares me to this day. Complete psycho.

Same, we were not allowed to drop out after the first one, I think we had to do 4 levels or something?
