The influence of physical growth of boys aged 6-14 years on their development of physical fitness was analyzed using a relative growth (or development) approach. Data were extracted from a series of “Physical fitness and Motor Fitness Surveys” reported by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology for fiscal years 1998 through 2008 in which the “New Physical Fitness Test” was used. Age-associated changes in the relative growth coefficients of weight against height and those of sitting height against height were graphically compared to age-associated changes in relative development coefficients of physical fitness against height. The influence of physical growth on physical fitness development was examined by focusing on times of growth spurts in height and in weight (maturation) and the balance of growth between lower limb length and height, identified by the age-associated changes in relative growth coefficients.

The age-associated changes in relative growth coefficients of weight against height indicated a height growth trend before age 6-7 years followed by a maturation period between age 7-12 years, and a growth spurt in height at age 12-13 years followed by a maturing period. The age-associated changes in the relative growth coefficients of sitting height against height showed faster lower limb growth than height growth at age 9-10 years. By comparing these results to the age-associated changes in the relative development coefficients of physical fitness, three patterns of physical fitness development were identified.

Pattern 1: For the physical fitness items of grip strength and sit-and-reach, the relative development coefficients gradually increase independently of the relative growth coefficients of weight and sitting height against height.

Pattern 2: For the physical fitness items of sit up, side step, 20m shuttle run and running speed (50m sprint), their development is influenced by a growth spurt in height and times of maturation, and is predictable from the relative growth coefficient of weight against height.

Pattern 3: The physical fitness item standing long jump develops slowly in a fast growing period of the lower limbs.

The purpose of this study was to clarify the diffusion of Kodokan Judo in the Korean Empire, especially its relation to school physical education. The process of foundation and diffusion of Kodokan Judo in Korean Empire can be divided into 3 periods, in relation to the Japanese policy of colonialism during the first half of the twentieth century. Namely, during the military rule period (1910∼1919), private Judo gyms were stablished. During the cultural rule period (1920∼1926), even though there were various difficulties, the movement to establish Kodokan Judo was enlarged and developed with Korean Budokan and Kodokan. At the end of Japan Empire period (1927∼1938), the private gyms were consolidated under the leadership of Japan, into Korean Association of Physical Education. Through the teaching of judo, national pride and an independent spirit were fostered in the people.

During the early period of Japanese rule in Korea (the military rule period), all public schools’ physical education program changed to a military type of program, which included judo, kendo, and gymnastics etc. This change followed what was being done in Japan at this time. During the cultural rule period, in all Junior High Schools, the teaching of gymnastics was abolished and Judo was a mandatory subject in the curriculum. Moreover, at this time, many schools established Judo clubs and practice halls, so that the sport was greatly developed during this time.

The diffusion of Judo escalated at the end of Japan Empire period when the so-called military training was enforced in school physical education; so the practice of Judo was widespread in many schools in the country. In this way, the diffusion of Judo in Korean Empire can be seen occurring during three distinct periods.

This study aimed to clarify specific coaching practices that are implemented in relation to the formulation of New Gymnastics moves, based on hints obtained from “Gymnastik,” a journal issued by Deutscher Gymnastik-Bund. The findings of the study can be summarized as follows.

1. A new gymnastic movement in the early 20th century culminated in the formulation of New Gymnastics in the 1920s. The concept of New Gymnastics was based on a multilateral perspective of motion as the value of body motions that display spirituality and intelligence, and on an emphasis on the importance of the law of motion governing the human body. As New Gymnastics began to spread parties involved in promoting it came together under a newly established framework of the Deutscher Gymnastik-Bund in 1925.

2. Deutscher Gymnastik-Bund not only held lectures and practical workshops aimed at disseminating and promoting New Gymnastics, but also issued a journal titled “Gymnastik.” “Gymnastik” aimed to increase knowledge of physical education through New Gymnastics.

3. Hints derived from original articles written by individuals who were actively involved in the activities of Deutscher Gymnastik-Bund were used to examine the formulation of New Gymnastics moves. As a result, it was found that New Gymnastics moves could be largely divided into those based on three-dimensional motions utilizing the high-low, front-back, and left-right dimensions of space, and those that combine motion with rhythm and melody.

4. This study examined coaching practices used by Gunther and Medau in formulating move that combine motion with rhythm and melody. Günther placed primary importance on rhythm and melody and drew forth motions from existing musical notes and scores, practices in conducting music, and primitive instruments, Medau primarily focused on motions involved in utilizing balls and repeated motions to create rhythm and melody.

The purpose of this research is to analyze the offensive scoring techniques used in handball games, to practice the intensively incorporating them into regular play, and then examine if this would improve a team’s scoring, compared to a control team. The play of 8 senior high schools male students’ teams handball games at the national tournament were analyzed as to which type of offensive moves and shots led to the scoring of goals. Once the offensive tactics were identified, strategic planning was done, and a group of school teams practiced the offensive scoring skills, while a control group of schools had their regular practice. The experimental teams and the control teams were then analyzed to see if there was an improvement in scoring goals.

The result of the game analysis indicated that the offensive play most likely to score points was the shot from back coat, in as low paced offensive move. Specifically, teammates without the ball would entangle the defense, creating as pace for the back coat player to take shot from back coat. Teams were assigned to a control group or an experimental group. The experimental teams practiced for 2 months using a planned practice menu that emphasized the shot from back coat. The results of the specialized practice sessions showed that the experimental group had a higher frequency of making the shot a higher point average. Moreover, it can be said that the passes made by the member who was taking the shot from back coat, to the post position, also increased the overall scoring.

This study has aimed to extract the factor in which it influences uneasiness concerning of top college athletes getting jobs and to examine an effective career support. Then, it has served to 113 athletes who are belonged to the college wrestling club and also members of the East Japan Student Wrestling League.

The survey carried out self-completed questionnaire to use bearer form. Survey items are made it originally to extract the element which affected finding employment uneasiness after it had graduated college. It has distributed and collected on the place, the survey collection rate is 100%.

In order to clarify the cause of their uneasiness concerning about getting a job, to investigate both uneasiness questions and the other questions, there are 3 significant correlation items, “best results at the college”, “need to support about getting a job”, “the change of the image for getting a job in college admission front and back”. And it was able to suggest the factor that had an influence on the getting a job uneasiness of the college top athlete.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between physique and physical fitness of school children in Japan, Thailand and Cambodia. Eight target areas were selected in Cambodia: Phnom Penh, Battambang, Kompong Cham, Sihanouk Ville, Kompon Chhnang, Svay Rieng, Kratie and RattanakKiri. The target area of Thailand was Udon-Thani Province. The subjects were children, whose ages ranged from 12- to 15-years, selected from the schools where the investigation took place (430 girls and 490 boys in Thailand, 631 girls and 677 boys in Cambodia). The research was carried out with regard to height, weight, sit-ups, sitting-trunk-flexion, side-steps, 50m-run, and standing-long-jump. As for Japan, data obtained by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology were used.

The results were:

1) As for the physique: Thai tended to be approaching Japanese in girls and boys. Cambodian was worse than Japanese and Thai.

2) In 50m-run of girls and boys, a physique element was reflected by the exercise capacity.

3) In sit-ups and standing-long-jump of boys, a physique element was reflected by the exercise capacity.

The present study was designed to compare the factorial structure of sports consciousness among female collegiate athlete sand general students.

The subjects were 332 collegiate athletes and 383 general students.

They took part in the study by completing a questionnaire consisting of 25 items.

A summary of the results obtained is as follows.

1. The results of the questionnaire revealed that 41.40% of collegiate athletes and 68.98% of general students were dispersed within the first three items on the questionnaire.

2. The 25 items on the questionnaire were divided into 5 categories which might influence awareness of sports. There was a similarity between the two groups in the emotional and volitional categories.

3. The collegiate athletes made progress with regard to exercise skill for practical activity and they pay attention to internal effect. The general students seem to be concerned with personal relations.

4. Neither of the two groups showed high levels of sports consciousness. There was no major difference between the two groups. Both groups seem to understand the meaning and necessity of sports.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristic of fitness parameters and subjective ADL score in female elderly people who have experiences of fall. We divided 90 subjects into two groups: fall group (n=24, age: 74.4±5.6yrs) and non-fall group(n=66, age:74.1 ±5.4yrs) on the base of questionnaire about their experience of fall within one year. The items measured were reaction time in upper and lower extremities. fitness tests (strength, flexibility, stability and walking speed) and ADL score.

There was no significant difference in reaction time, fitness level and ADL score between fall group and non-fall group, although non-fall group indicated significantly higher value in rate of reaction time (lower extremity / upper extremity). In non-fall group, a significant correlation was identified between the values of all fitness tests except reaction time and ADL score. On the other hand, there was no significant relationship between the test values except 10m obstacle walking and ADL score.

In conclusion, female elderly people who have experiences of fall indicated the characteristics of extended reaction time in lower limbs against reaction time using the upper limbs and no relationship between fitness parameters and subjective ADL score.

In Japanese Archery, the word “Yurumi” refers to is one of three serious bad habits.

The cause of “Yurumi” is not clear and it can not be easily corrected. Furthermore, this weakness is very difficult to improve only by physical training. Therefore, SAT counseling was carried out for high school archer who had presented with “Yurumi”.

The SAT counseling focuses on not only the psychological function but also the physical function. In four months, we conducted three times of counseling and one follow-up interview for the high school student. As a result, mental health and “Yurumi” of the archer were improved greatly. Therefore, SAT counseling was proved to be effective in correcting “Yurumi” of the Japanese Archers.

The purpose of this study was to measure the effect of SAT counseling on a high school student who needed to have a harmony between club activities and studies.

A twelfth grader girl was intervened with a couple of psychotherapy sessions which was based on SAT theory. In the first, we did temperamental coaching to the client.

She understood her temperament and learned self-care behavior and began to calm down. In the second session, image therapy of SAT counseling was used. As a result, the client mental health was improved remarkably as compared with pre-counseling.

For a high school student who find it difficult to harmonize the conflict between club activities and studies, the SAT counseling was suggested be effective.

In this report, we review the effect of exercise habits for senior citizens using daily activity frequency and Health Locus of Control Scales.

The persons who are studied are 182 people who are 60-85 years old (average of 71.0±5.5years old), women 79% and men 21%.

The research approaches are tests of transportation for going outside. Health Locus of Control Scales, daily activity frequency, average walk count and check for light exercise habit (walking, gymnastics, etc.) and sport habit

The results are as follows.

(1)The direct relation is not accepted in daily activity and belief in health.

(2)About transportation for going outside, people who have light exercise habits and expand their spheres of activities.

(3)People who have habits to take 10,000 steps in a day, light exercise habits and sport habits show a high frequency of daily activities.

Therefore, it would appear that exercise habits for senior citizens have the effect of improving the quality of their daily activities.
