Abstract

This study conducted a survey and investigated students’ opinions and design preferences to physical education(PE) uniforms for elementary, middle and high school students using PE uniforms for the following purposes: toincrease satisfaction with PE uniforms; present basic data for the development of PE uniforms helping to improve thequality of school life; and propose the development direction of PE uniforms. PE uniforms shall be developed with thecomponents of uniforms, symbolism, functionality and aesthetics. The symbolism of PE uniforms expresses the affiliationsof people wearing them and makes them have a sense of affiliation. The functionality presents convenience in students’physical activities and intramural/extracurricular activities. The aesthetics reflects the aesthetically sophisticatedsport wear trend in PE uniforms. The development direction of PE uniforms was organized based on the result of analyzingand investigating students’ opinions and design preferences to PE uniforms. There were differences in students’opinions and preferences to PE uniforms according to the type of student groups (elementary, middle and high school). In addition, there were clear gender-differences in the same student group. An effort might be required to reflect students’preferences because PE uniforms which students had currently worn at school had been manufactured without the reflectionof students’ opinions.
