This study examined the effect of physical activity on physical strength between students at an urban elementary school and those at a rural elementary school. The purpose of this study was to make clear the effect of lifestyle on physical strength. The results of the questionnaire suggest a large difference in lifestyle between the students at the two schools. No difference was found in the results of the physical fitness test. Overall, the boys at an urban and the girls at a rural elementary school scored higher for physical activity. The results of this study suggest that exercise habits are a factor in promoting physical strength. It was suggested that both the level of physical education activity at the school and the participation in after school sports programs were important.
