Abstract

This paper will attempt to provide a handbook of physical education activities suitable for asthmatic children and rheumatic heart pupils in a first or second grade public school environment where the ratio of such handicapped is a definite minority. Personal efforts in the past to structure a physical education program to include children suffering from rheumatic heart disease or asthma have not always been satisfactory for both the "normal" and the handicapped child.
