The early days of the University School of Physical Education in Krakow were connected with a 2-year course organized at the Jagiellonian University in 1893. It was intended for candidates for gymnastics teachers, who would later work at secondary schools and teachers’ training colleges. That course, conducted at the Medical Department of the Jagiellonian University, gave rise to a 2-year School of Physical Education in 1913. Apart from the schooling of teachers, the School organized lectures and practical classes for the entire community of the University students. The course and then the School of Physical Education were pioneering institutions that educated PE teachers at a university level in Poland. Furthermore, the introduction of mandatory physical education for the community of students placed the Jagiellonian University third among the European universities, following those in Ghent (1908) and Copenhagen (1909). The University of Physical Education in Krakow (commonly known as AWF — say Ah Voo Eff— from the initial of its Polish name) originated in 1893, as a department of the Jagiellonian University. In 1951, it became an independent institution of higher education, and now it occupies Its campus. There are ample classroom and laboratory space, and an enormous sports hall — 4,026 square meters. AWF also boasts its stadium, three dormitories housing 900 students and teachers' quarters. There is also a cafeteria, as well as several snack bars, coffee shops, etc. View full university

Nikaido went to the UK, a country of advanced sports, and studied for two years at King's Field College. During her stay in the UK, she found her mission in life to be a sports educator. After returning to Japan, Nikaido founded Nikaido Taisojuku believing in, "Women's sports by women." Adopting the philosophies of the schools at which she had studied in the UK, she formed her educational philosophy: "To achieve the ideal of women's sports which combine both strength and elegance, the school needs to take a holistic approach to education and a broad perspective of people's lives, including food, clothing, and shelter, to raise an elite." Nikaido's philosophy was for producing outstanding teachers of physical education, and the philosophy has been passed on to today's students. Nikaido Taisojuku produced 500 up-and-coming teachers of physical education within four years of its foundation. The superb sprinter Kinue Hitomi, Japan's first female Olympic medalist in the Taisho Era, was one of the graduates. These proud traditions have nurtured Japan Women's College of Physical Education.

In 1912, at the Olympic Games in Stockholm, Galicia had a representative - sprinter Vladislav Ponurskoho. In general, long before the establishment of the National Olympic Committee of Ukraine, Lviv 96 athletes, speaking at the Olympics under the flags of Austria-Hungary, Poland, and the USSR, participated in the competitions of 19 kinds of sports, from where they brought 46 medals: 15 gold, 16 silver, and 15 bronze. So creation in Lviv in 1946 Lviv State Institute of Physical Culture had presupposition. May 7, 1946, by the USSR Council of Ministers based on the College of Physical Culture, was established Lviv State Institute of Physical Culture. His task is to prepare highly qualified personnel, especially for the USSR's western regions and scientific development of physical education and sports, scientific and methodological assistance to various sports organizations. Initially, in the Institute was a teaching faculty, 15 departments, 150 students enrolled. In May 1958 institute was given a consultative point of correspondence of the Kyiv Institute of Physical Culture. It started in LDIFK distance learning, and in 1964 formed a separate department. It should be noted that in 1959 the Institute opened school coaches with two years of training, which lasted until 1964. Also, in 1960 began working evening division. In 1969/1970 was opened LDIFK sports department. At that time, specialists were trained at three faculties: teaching, sports, and correspondence.
