The objective of this study was to clarify the concept of community sports, because the clarification of its conceptual structure is considered to increase the efficiency of sports promotion.
Community is a word closely related to land. In the premodern society, land used to be a large resource that yielded wealth. People formed a community by generating wealth from the land. Therefore, we intended to evaluate the concept of community sports from the viewpoint of land and wealth. The following conclusions were reached.
1) In future community sports, two forms of wealth, i. e., promotion of sports and welfare of the local community, must be pursued.
2) Physical training is the most important in people's sports activities.
3) It is important to regard the entire community as a sports facility.
4) Physical training is performed both on private and public property. Physical training peeformed on commercial property is an extension of activities performed on private or public property.
5) Sports have a bipolar nature of physical training and sports game.

This paper is a part of the study of formation process of one's view of the human body. The purpose of this paper is to compare the result of questionnaires about one's view of the human body from a phenomenological standpoint. One's view of the human body in this paper means the general one concerning one's own body and others' body. The questionnaires include the following three major points: (1) viewpoint of human body, (2) formation factors of one's view of the human body, (3) relationship between mind and body.
The conclusion of this paper is as follows:
Although there certainly exists environmental originality of one's view of the human body in each nation, it varies in geographical condition, history, generation and sexuality even in a nation. One's view of the human body is based on four flames of thinking; (1) feeling, (2) practice, (3) learning, (4) image. Additionally, it is influenced by level of each factor's importance.
Therefore the formation process of one's view of the human body depends on culture. It can be said that one's view of the human body is the result of learning. People have tended to make the scientific view in contemporary life as the result of respect to the scientific knowledge in education. However, as we can see in Japan, this view has formed the undesirable view of the human body. Therefore, we PE teachers should show the ideal view of the human body and educate the view.

The purpose of this study is to examine the possibilities of changing physical education in modern schools through the reinterpretation of Kentaro Sasaki's “Children in Physical Education”.
The theory of “Physical Education (SHINTAI-NO-KYOUIKU)” includes both the theory of “Physical Activation (KARADAZUKURI)”, which is based on the scientific theory of the Modern Body, and the theory of “Physical Cultivation (KARADASODATE)”, which intend to overcome “discipline” in school physical education. The theory of “Physical Cultivation” couldn't explain the essential relationship between “discipline” and “school physical education” simply because it was based upon the institutional framework of modem schools. Nevertheless, Sasaki's instructional method, which the theory of “Physical Education” had evaluated as a teaching material model in school physical education, was not a “technical practice” under the plan and program, which sought for the effectiveness and productivity of education within the institutional framework of modern schools.
It perceived the “events” that occurred beyond the plan and program with his own “practical wisdom”. It was a “reflective practice” which set up the project in accordance with the individual specific situation, which in turn contributed to form children's fellowships. There lies the possibility of physical education for the “individual body” which modem schools have excluded.
