Abstract: Current thinking on elementary and secondary school physical education emphasizes motivating young people to develop habits of physical exercise and expression that will persist into adulthood. To help foster such a lifetime commitment, athletic programs must provide a range of opportunities for students to realize their particular physical potentials. Accordingly, athletic facilities must accommodate numerous individual and group-oriented activities. The reviewed documents, previously cited in RIE, are restricted to issues of design and construction and concern indoor facilities (gymnasiums and wide-span structures), outdoor areas, and swimming pools.
