Sounds like you're asking about the difference between Physical Education and Physics class... Phys. Ed. is about practical physical exercises, and Physics is the scientific study of the rules / natural laws that govern the possibilities of practical physical exercises. Basically, Physics is a scientific pursuit of knowledge, therefore mental in nature (not physical). The physical world is just the topic of study.
