Introduction
The ongoing worldwide pandemic stresses the need to maintain a healthy lifestyle. One way to maintain one’s wellbeing is through physical exercise. Physical exercise helps improve mental wellbeing, maintain healthy body weight and reduce health risks, such as, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 2020) According to the CDC, physical exercise helps young people to build healthy bones and muscles and improve their mental health by reducing anxiety and depression. (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2013).
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (2018) recommends that children and adolescents, should do at least 60 minutes of daily physical exercise. Since children and adolescents spend most of their time at a school, schools have a responsibility of keeping their students physically active. The main way to accomplish this is through gymnasiums. The ontology developed for this project will focus on the design of such gymnasiums.
The following two links will direct you to the ontology and parametric model that represent a high school gymnasium
