抄録

This study was designed to survay on factors of physique, physical fitness and capacity from the rotated factor loading measured by the age, weight (W), 6 circumference (C), 2 height and 3 diameter (D), 6 skinfold (SF) and nine to ten physical fitness test (P) variables, on five to thirty-two years old of aboriginal people in Winneba and Cape-Coast of Ghana, which was devided into age groups according to the differences of performance tests and of the minimal number of the subjects, as in Table 2. From the observation on the order of roated factor loadings throughout the developing age groups factor were interpreted. Factor I consisted of W-C on top and D on second, which dicreased toward elder groups. D was replaced by SF in female. Factor II consisted of SF vs. a part of P. The contribution of SF in twelve to fourteen years old female became to the bottom and work capacity increased sharply toward elder groups in female. Characteristic structure of factors of physical capacities in Ghana contrasting to Japan were minor loading of vital capacity and sharp declination of the flow of SF and P in female.
