運動実施者が運動意識を理解・表現するための記述・分析法の提案

抄録

To resolve the issues revolving Kintaka et al.’s (2001) proposed method for the descriptive analysis of kinesthetic consciousness in people who exercise, the present study reexamined and proposed a new descriptive analysis method for assisting people who exercise to understand and express kinesthetic consciousness.

The procedures of Kintaka et al.’s (2001) method for the descriptive analysis of kinesthetic consciousness can be summarized as follows: intentions and feelings are externalized, and these externalized emotions are placed alongside consecutive pictures. In addition, kinesthetic consciousness was descriptively analyzed by confirming the corresponding relationship between intentions and feelings when a person successfully performed a certain exercise. However, in terms of corresponding relationships, we felt that it was difficult to understand which intentions corresponded to which feelings. Furthermore, there are intentions that emerge symbolically on the surface of consciousness, while others lie latent at a deeper level. Thus, we believed it was also necessary to perceive the construction as having a “hierarchy.”

Although the corresponding relationship and hierarchy had not been expressed, we succeeded in conducting a detailed descriptive analysis of kinesthetic consciousness by supporting the procedure through the creation of a fish-bone diagram. Repeatedly asking oneself, “Is this really correct?” during the detailed analysis process of kinesthetic consciousness led to the acquisition of a “real knack” for performing certain exercises.

The abovementioned examination of a new descriptive analysis method of kinesthetic consciousness—not to mention the personal involvement—suggested that this method could be used as a tool for people who exercise to understand and express their kinesthetic consciousness.
