The perceputual method of golf lesson is the one of the teaching strategies where the learners are instructed to perceive the impact of golf ball on the club face. This method is based on the “awareness instruction” presented by W. T. Gallway as “Inner Game Theory.” There are some scholars, too, as P. J. Arnold, who asserted that it is necessary to regard the kinesthetic percepution of movement based on the man's body awareness as serious objectives of movement education. Certainly, it seems to possible to raise the embodiment of the internal awareness as one of the important objectives of sport education.
It is not possible to overlook the importance of proprioception as a FB information and the knowledge of results (KR). It seems not to be entered, nevertheless, upon the location of the body awareness in the motor skill learning because of the difficulty of the data processing.
Therefore, it is tried in this study to instruct the students as a tentative golf lesson which consists of the perceiving the impact of the ball by the students and the recording the perception. The purpose of this study is to obtain the fundamental materials from this tentative lesson in order to regard the internal body awareness in movement as of importance for the sport education.
The method of this study were as follows; The subjects were 16 male undergraduate students and 4 female students, who were all beginners of golf. The period of this study was from 17th April to 3rd June in 1986, The procedures were, firstly, from 1 to 6 times, only the judgement of impact by guess, and secondly, from 7 to 8 times, the actual impact was certified by the impact marker.
The hypothesis of this study is that “it is more effective to coincide the judgement of impact perception with the actual impact, and that it is improved the effectiveness of the impact if the judgement of the sweet spot will correspond to the actual hitting the spot of club. And the ability of awareness is improved if the error scores which is in the gap between the judgement and the actual impact will be decrease.”
The results obtained were as follows;
(1) There were no improvement of hitting times on the sweet spot except 7 subjects which was based on the judgement of student only by guess. From this result, it seems to suggest that it would be difficult for the students to be motivated to concentrate to the internal body awareness of their own.
(2) As an analysis of the error scores of judgement, the results that relatively many students were improved in the judgement of the impact perception was obtained.
(3) Sufficient results were not obtained, nevertheless, from the supposition that if the awareness of impact were developed with the reliance for the SELF 2, then the hitting times on sweet spot would be increse.
(4) As the results of questionaire (consciousness of students), it can be considered that this tentative method which was aimed for students to experience of the body by means of the concentlation to their own internal awareness as one of the objectives of sport education was obtained sufficient results.
(5) It seems to suggest that it is necessary for the further study to consider the restriction of SELF 1 that would inevitably evaluate the man's own performance, and to incorporate the direction and curving of ball as important informations of the golf swing.

Aim of This Study: There seems to be some important problems in high school sport club activities. This study surveyed these problems through a questionnaire destributed to 84 chief P. E. teachers of 84 high schools in Saitama-prefecture in Japan. The Aim of this study is to infer a common cause of problems from the survey.
The Survey: The results of survey were obtained from 12 questions. These were deviled in 4 groups: 1) the students' participation in school sport club; 2) consciousness of sports club students; 3) administrative measures taken by school authorities: 4) conditional problems to sport club activities.
The Results and Discussion; Number of students' participation are decreasing. The basic cause arizes from social change, i.e. from, so called, the information society. The mind of students is lacking virtues related to achieve their objectives. The administrative measures by high school authorities are increasing and conditional problems to sports club activities are short of (1) facilities and (2) coaches.
Inference; The cause of decreasing in the desire to participate and increasing in administrative measures by school authorities are infered to destructions of gang-age natural play groups in the communities. It means destruction of the basic experiences of informal group achievement and natural social adjustment. It has affected even in high school ages.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the method of the instruction for pupils to understand the joy of exercise.
Results.
(1) Pupils have likes and dislikes in Track and Field as follows:
1. Boys and girls like long jump most, and the next that they like is a relay and a short distance. They like them because they can run fast, and can jump more and run in cooperation with others. On the other hand, some people dislike them because of their weakness. We can say that their likes and dislikes is concerned with their abilities and the cooperation.
2. It is most joyful for boys to practice long jump, and a relay is the next. Girls regard a relay as most joyful exercise and long jump is the next. They think so because they can develop their records, conquer the rivals, and cooperate with others. Both boys and girls don't think a short distance joyful because of their weakness.
3. Above these two are concerned with each other.
(2) On the instruction of Track and Field, teachers recognize as follows:
1. They make pupils do their best and cooperate with others, and they want to develop pupil's physical strength.
2. Teachers think that the joy of exercise is conbined to the development of pupil's achievement.
3. Then we can say that;
a. it is pleasant for pupils to touch the characteristics of Track and Field, and that teachers attach importance to the physical strengh.
b. pupils recognize Track and Field as a sport, while teachers recognize it as a teaching materials of school work.
c. it is important for teachers to make pupils experience the joy of exercise, developing the characteristics of Track and Field first. And then they should make pupils try to develop their physical strength.
d. teachers must recognize the difference between boys and girls, and from this point, they should choose the most beneficial method of instruction in schools.

Objectives of this paper were to elucidate key factors of hip circle forward on horizontal bar from electromyographic point of view.
Subjects employed in the experiments were 7 healthy male adults, ranging from skilled subjects to non-skilled. Electromyograms (EMGs) were recorded by conventional method using surface electrodes from the flexor carpi radialis, the extensor carpi radialis brevis, the biceps brachii long head, the triceps brachii lateral head, the deltoid anterior, the deltoid posterior, the pectoralis major abdominal portion, the latissimus dorsi, the rectus abdominalis, and the sacro-spinalis. Side-view motion pictures, angular change of wrist joint and strain values of horizontal bar were simultaneously recorded with the EMGs.
In the skilled subjects, the hip circle forward was performed successfully to get the rotatory power using the angular changes of the hip joint effectively. On the other hand, in the unskilled subjects, the hip circle forward was carried out using the arm pull movement as well as the angular changes of the hip joint.
The regrasping with the hands, which is indicated in the teaching manuals as one of the most important key factors of the hip circle forward, is not necessary when the rotation of the hip circle forward was done smoothly.
Non-skilled subjects were trained based on the results of the motion analyses of hip circle forward which have been obtained by author and others. As a result, they were able to perform the hip circle forward. However, in one of the two subjects, the unnecessary contraction of the shoulder girdle and trunk muscles were still remained; in the other, the discharge patterns of the muscles tested approached those of the unskilled.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the development of motivation in sport group.
The method adopted in this investigation is as follows; firstly the process in the development of the ideal groups, those are mixed stage, united stage and individualized stage, were established, secondarily, the principle of the motivation in the each developmental stage of sport group was clarified.
As the result of this study, the characteristics of each stage and principle of motivation in sport group are summarized as follows:
1) The mixed stage of sport group is organized in players motivated by basic need. Therefore, an object of motivation is each player in sport group.
2) The united stage of sport group is organized in players combined by an abstract power. Therefore, the abstract power has to be changed into a concrete object.
3) The individualized stage of sport group is organized in players motivated by higher need. Therefore, the player has to be treated as an independent person.
In conlusion, as regards the motivation of sport group the quality of its group is deeply concerned. Accordingly, a clear understanding of the sport group is required for us.

The aim of hurdle running is to run rhythmically without speed down. In order to do so, the most suitable height of hurdles and intervals for each student must be given. The present study was designed to find the most suitable height and intervals of the hurdles. Optimum height and intervals should be that students could perform hurdle runnings maintaining the rhythm of three strides with hurdle running time being the shortest.
Subjects were 610 male students of the 1st and 2nd grades from 11 diferent local junior high schools. They were deviled into 14 groups according to their heights and strides of 50m dash time. Each group was given 15 conditions with varying heights and intervals, and most suitable condition for each student was found. The relation between the hurdle running time under optimum condition and physique, physical strength, and capacity for locomotion was determined using a multiple regres sion analysis evaluation by the method. A chart conforming the optimum condition was made out by heights, strides of 50m dash, and 50m dash time. Students who have differences of 50m dash time, heights, and strides were given optimum condition from the chart and the validity of the chart was determined using the ratio of 50m hurdle running time to 50m dash time.
Furthermore, the chart was introduced in the class of physical eduction. A new instruction was compared with those of the conventional teaching methods concerning hurdle time, maintenance of three strides, ratio of hurdle running time to dash time, and subjective evaluation by the method.
The results were summarized as follows.
1) From the analysis of multiple regression, a 50m dash time was determined to be the prime factor of hurdle running time under the optimum hurdle height and interval condition.
2) A teaching method using the chart was the most suitable for the accmmodation of individual variations.
3) The method using the chart was the most effective in providing students with both height interval of the hurdles. Students learned the skill in a short period of time. Therefore with this method students could have more practice time which could further improve their records.
