    Biomechanics provides strong support for analysis of sports techniques. Biomechanics has also been valuable for top winter sports athletes, for example in clarifying training targets by technique analysis, finding the best position in the flight phase of ski jumping in wind tunnel experiments, and revealing the merits of "slap skates" through motion analysis. Wind tunnel experiments for ski jumping have been done in Japan since 1951, and the Sapporo Olympic Games were a milestone for advancing the use of biomechanics in winter sports. Currently, the speed and accuracy of data feedback systems for coaches and athletes are markedly advanced. The development of computer systems, especially for kinematics and 3D motion analysis, has yielded useful scientific data for teaching and coaching. Analysis during actual competitions began at the Sapporo Olympic Games, and has since been providing important scientific results for field activities. A new approach to the biomechanics of winter sports was demonstrated at the Nagano Olympic Games under the IOC Medical Commission Sub-commission on Biomechanics and Physiology of Sports. One of the research projects was an analysis of the sports skills of athletes, not only for their safety, but also in order to pass details of their superior techniques and skills to the next generation. Another project was "sports science education", which was newly introduced for the Nagano Winter Olympics to provide the most advanced knowledge about sports sciences and health to children in a way that was easy to understand. Biomechanics plays an important role in supporting physical education in school, as well as top athletes, and it is clear that there is a deep relationship between biomechanics and sports science education. There is a clear need to develop a support system for sports science education that can be used by schoolteachers. Winter sports science is now a highly developed field in Japan, and now needs a research center including biomechanics for systematic and synthetic activities.

    The concept of "recreation specialization" is a developmental process which occurs as a result of participation in a particular leisure activity. Bryan (1977) defines recreation specialization as a "continuum of behavior from the general to the particular, reflected by equipment and skills used in the sport and activity setting preferences". This conceptual framework has been considered as an effective explanatory variable to differentiate outdoor recreationists. The purpose of this study is to review the literature related to receation specialization and examine the kinds of methods used in leisure research. Literature pertinent to recreation specialization is classified into theoretical development and application. Methodological issues are discussed based upon an overview of this specialization research. This paper is organized into five topics: 1)theoretical background, 2)related concepts, 3)theoretical development, 4)empirical studies, and 5)methodology.

    A study was conducted to clarify the most effective type of teaching approach for dance classes in terms of teacher behavior and student evaluation. The time distribution of the teacher in a class was assessed using a systematic observation instrument (Takahashi et al., 1991) for 11 junior and high school PE teachers, taking 26 classes. Student evaluation of the dance classes was investigated by analyzing 4 factors (attitude, thinking, sociality, competence) for 1189 students. The correlation was calculated between teacher behavior and student evaluation. Furthermore, teacher behavior was compared between groups showing high and low student evaluation. The main findings were as follows: 1)It was clarified that "teacher participation in learning" had a good effect on student evaluation. 2)With regard to interactive activity, corrective feedback was significantly effective for student cognition, and had a marked effect on student performance. 3)As to student evaluation, the "social" factor was rated significantly higher than "competence". 4)With regard to teacher behavior, use of a "small group" had a significantly positive effect on student evaluation.

    The mid-growth spurt is considered to be a slight acceleration of growth which appears before the adolescent growth spurt. However, the essential significance of the mid-growth spurt has not been discussed as a structural mechanism of the physical growth phenomenon. It is analyzed from a statistical value concerning the local peak velocity (LPV) derived from the growth velocity curve where the scale of the mid-growth spurt is drawn by the wavelet interpolation method (WIM), and the essential meaning is verified from the relationship between the mid-growth spurt and the adolescent growth spurt. The WIM can be applied to the longitudinal growth data for height of boys aged 3 to 16 years, and it is detected as an event before the adolescent growth spurt when the LPV of the mid-growth spurt appears on the growth velocity curve. The mid-growth spurt can be detected before the adolescent growth spurt from two or three places on the growth velocity curve between the age of 4 years and the age at MPV. Especially, mid-spurt which appears just before the age at MPV is named before mid-spurt, and the case where it appears as follows forward of that was named mid-spurt 2. Before the mid-spurt appeared in all the data for 74 individuals, a significant correlation was observed between the ages at LPV of before mid-spurt and at MPV. A statistical value of the age at MPV and at LPV of before mid-spurt are 12.94 years old (SD=0.94) and 8.89 respectively years old (SD=1.62), and the average of the difference in the both ages is 4.05 years old (SD=1.59). A similar analysis to the data situation of 74 was applied to the longitudinal growth data of height in the boy of 260, and a result as similar to case of the data of 74 were derived. In the data of 296 (in-cluding the reference data: 222 data), the appearance rate of before mid-spurt was 78.5% (N:204/260). The reason for this is that the WIM is applied to the period from 6 to 18 years of age. However, the possibility of the appearance was considerably suggested in the data which did not appear. Therefore, it is possible to height growth to forecast the age at MPV from the age at LPV of before mid-spurt in some degree. If the mid-growth spurt (before the mid-spurt) is considered essentially as a physical growth mechanism, it can be newly proposed that will be able to become the prescience event.

    The purpose of this study was to research the Course of Physical Training in the 1910 Syllabus of the Junior High School affiliated with Tokyo Higher Normal School (JHSATHNS). The 1904 Report by the Committee on Games and Gymnastics, the 1907 edition of the Course of Physical Training Syllabus at JHSATHNS, and the 1913 Syllabus of School Gymnastics issued by the Ministry of Education were compared with the 1910 JHSATHNS Syllabus, and the results can be summarized as follows: 1)The contents of the 1910 edition consisted of free gymnastics (FG, consisting of the Swedish system of gymnastics <SG> and normal gymnastics <NG>), apparatus gymnastics (AG, consisting of NG and military gymnastics <MG>), military drill <MD> and games, as compared to the 1907 contents of NG (FG, AG, and games in the 1910 edition) and MG (AG and MD in the 1910 edition). 2)The 1910 edition clarified the position of SG in school physical education. 3)MD in the 1910 edition featured militaristic influence. 4)The 1910 edition was found to be a transitional form of the 1904 report, which eventually became the 1913 Syllabus issued by the Ministry of Education.

    A study was conducted to develop a shortened version of the psychological stress level scale for junior high school students in physical education classes introduced by Sasaki (1997), to examine its reliability and validity, and furthermore, to establish its evaluation standard. First, stressor descriptions in physical education classes were collected from a factor analysis of data from 756 junior high school students and a shortened version was made, consisting of 5 subcategorized scales: "lack of a feeling of achievement," "teacher attitudes," "reception of slander," "insincerity of classmates," and "deficiency of physical condition." Each of these scales included 18 items. Next, the reliability of the new version was examined through Cronbach's α, the split-half method and the test-retest method. The resulting coefficients of the 5 scales were .78-.81, .74-.83, and .72-.87, respectively. Thus, this version's reliability was verified as satisfactory. Furthermore, the version's cross-validity was examined based on multiple regression analysis where the scores on this version's scales were treated as independent variables and the scores for psychological stress responses in physical education classes as criterion variables. The resulting validity coefficient showed that this version's validity was satisfactory. Finally, from analysis of the score distributions, an evaluation standard of three phases was established, which can be applied similarly to all students in three grades but differently to male and female students.
