Physical Education as a school subject is usually not connected to theoretical analysis and cognitive skills, even though the formal description of movements can support good performance. In this paper, we present an approach whereby construction of new and technologically enhanced equipment for sports allows young people to gain an insight into the theoretical side of specific body movements. The following describes an activity-oriented approach to investigate one's own movement and to explore formalized models of physical exercise through construction of tangible materials and computer programs. Experience with a toolkit for constructing technologically enhanced sports wear and accessories are presented.
