    The purpose of this study was to investigate the exercise intensity and physical active mass of basketball game of inexperienced and experienced students in the University physical education class, to make the classes. The subjects was 25 men's university students(13 basketball experienced persons and 12 inexperienced persons). The subjects attached 2-axis accelerometer and performed 3-5 times of 10-minute games. I found exercise intensity, steps per minute and physical active mass of a game. Comparison of exercise intensity, METs and steps per minute in the inexperienced and experienced persons were used unpaired two tailed t-test(p < 0.05).

    As a result, the following opinions were provided.

    1) As for the experienced person, an average of 5.2 ± 0.5 METs, mean steps 123.4 ± 7.9 steps, the ratio of exercise intensity were micromotion 2.2 % low 21.0 % middle 27.7 %, high 49.1 %. As for the beginner person, an average of 5.0 ± 0.4 METs, mean steps 122.0 ± 8.5 steps, the ratio of exercise intensity were micromotion 3.2 % low 21.8 % middle 29.0 %, high 46.0 %.

    2) The meaningful relations were not accepted with exercise intensity, METs, steps per minute of experienced person group and the inexperienced person group.

    3) The middle/high-intensity physical active mass of a game was an average of 3.11 ± 0.55METs, time, and was person 4.18 ± 0.07METs, time when participated for 50 minutes at person 3.34 ± 0.32METs, time when participated for 40 minutes at person 2.61 ± 0.25METs, time when participated for 30 minutes.

    In this study, we clarified the characteristics of the displacement of the center of gravity of two walking motions which differ in the manner the legs are moved. We also investigated the influence of long-term participation in sports of walking motions.

    We conducted a walking experiment to two kinds of walking motions, normal walking and suri-ashi※1 walking. The subjects of this experiment were 102 skillful athletes from various sports. They were instructed to walk 10m by means of the two kinds of walking motions. The change of the waist point (center of gravity point) during walking was measured by an acceleration sensor. The result showed that no significant difference was found in the vertical movement of the waist point between the two walking motions, and that long-term participation in sports had no influence on the walking motions. We also observed that in suri-ashi walking kendo athletes made larger vertical movement of their waist point than athletes in other sports. This suggests the possibility that suri-ashi walking secures the base of support, maintains stability, and increases the physical activity through vertical movement.

    ※1.suri-ashi:A technique in which both feet are kept on the floor while moving towards the opponent in a sliding manner.

    In recent years, changes in the living environment such as a decline in the time, space, and companionship necessary for sports and outdoor play have affected children's physical activities (Central Education Council, 2002; Takahashi, 2011) . In order to provide children with plentiful and diverse experiences, environmental improvements directed toward promoting physical activity (Satou et al. , 2012) are being attempted.

    It is an established fact that the sports children take up influence their continued participation in competitive and sports activities, as well as their personal growth (Takahashi, 2011; Côté and Lidor, 2013) . It is said that whether children's experiences with sports are good or bad can be best understood by asking the children themselves (Kobayashi, 1978) .

    Formative evaluation form in physical education, which has been used for self-reflection of teachers and improvement of their classes (Takahashi et al. , 1994 & 1996; Hasegawa et al. , 1995) , is administered to children enrolled in physical education classes in order to formatively evaluate the classes.

    As no evaluation instruments, such as formative evaluation form, which has been generalized to physical education classes, have been developed in the practice of sports coaching, studies have been conducted to develop evaluation instruments that can be used during sports coaching (Mori, 2017). Considering the above-mentioned approaches, the use of formative evaluation form (which has been widely used in physical education) in volleyball classes is novel and useful for the practice of sports coaching.

    The objective of this study was to perform formative evaluation form (Takahashi et al., 1994 & 1996; Hasegawa et al., 1995) , which has been widely used in physical education, and to compare it with the diagnostic criteria of the formative class evaluation form instrument in order to assess its usefulness for volleyball classes for elementary school students.

    In Taiwan, there is a system of dance education that is not found in Japan. It is called “the dance class," a special course for rising talent. A curriculum for “the dance class" in primary, junior high, and high school exists in the Taiwanese national teaching guidelines. However, the effects of the class, in practice, are unclear.

    Cooperation between schools and standardized teaching guidelines is not always sufficient or put into practice. Classes are mainly implemented in order to teach practical skills, without any attention toward theory of dance. The effect and quality of the course content, moreover, is not always guaranteed. Teachers who specialize in dance are only employed part-time; there are simply not enough educators working in this field. This article, therefore, aims to understand the standards for “the dance class" and consider issues in implementing the curriculum.
