The American Physical Education Association (APEA), previously known as American Association for the Advancement of Physical Education, is an American association, founded in 1885 to support gymnastics education.[1] The name was changed in 1903, to the American Physical Education Association (APEA). And in 1917, it created one of its most influential groups, the Committee on Women's Athletics.[2][3] The APEA joined forces, becoming part of the NEA's Department of School Health and Physical Education in 1937,[4] and then forming the Division of Recreation in 1938.[5]
