The Shinkage-school founded by Hidetsuna Kamiizumi was flourished under Munenori Yagyu in the early Edo period. Munenori published three densho about the method of Kennjutsu martial arts. The first book's title was “heihou kiriai kokoromochi",the second was “Shinkageryu heiho kokoromochi",and the third was “Heihou kadensho" • For this paper, I picked the second book, which was finished in 1626. In this book, there were 110 passages written about sword technique and self control toword when facing opponents. It was very important for Yagyu-shinkage school “not to be cut" ,and this teaching, “not to be cut" was the basic lesson in this school. In this basic lesson, the method of self control was more important swordman can anticipate than the technique The reason is that with proper self control an opponents moves, and never be cut himself. This is the mystery of Yagyu-shinkage school, and the reason this school was called “the school of mind (Kokorono-Heiho)" .

We reported a female college kendo player with iron deficiency anemia who recover from the condition though advice medical management. The subject was instructed to evaluate subjective condition, such as fatigue, muscle soreness, and technical condition with 7-point rating scale numbered from 1(very bad) to 7 (very good) every day. We measured hemoglobin concentration, physiological response (heart rate and ratings of perceived exertion) during the cycle exercise of light intensity (30,60,90watts) on days 1, 7, 14, 21, and 28 of this investigation, and serum ferritin, transferrin, and iron concentrations and total iron binding capacity on the days 1 and 28. We ordered the subject iron supplementation, and actively advised her to improve lifestyle, i.e. diet and sleep, and to perform training programs at intervals. Consequently, hemoglobin concentration was progressively increased on days 14 and 21 of investigation, but was slightly decreased on 28 days. Serum ferritin was increased and transferrin concentrations and total iron binding capacity were decreased on 28 days. Some of physical and technical conditions, and heart rate at rising were corresponded with the change in hemoglobin concentration. Heart rate during the exercise was also decreased on days 7, 14, 21 of the study. We concluded that subjective condition and physiological response during submaximal exercise were useful for the assessment of the improvement of anemia in athlete in the field, although hemoglobin concentration was needed to measure to return to athletic training.

In the present study, the relationship of the incidence of abnormal values in laboratory test and incidence of ECG abnormalities during exercise stress test to age was assessed to find critical age for exercise stress test before starting regular exercise for developing and maintaining health in middle-aged and elderly men. The subjects were 13,441 men aged 17 to 81 years. Of the 13,441 men, 3,301 performed exercise stress test. The results obtained were as follows:Physically active men over 50 years of age and physically inactive men over 35 years of age showed a significantly higher incidence of abnormal values in laboratory test than the physically active men under 34 years of age. However, only physically inactive men over 50 years of age showed a significantly higher incidence of ECG abnormalities than the physically active men under 34 years of age.

From these results, it is suggested that exercise stress test needs to be performed before starting regular exercise for developing and maintaining health in middle-aged and elderly men.

This study intends to clarify winning techniques by analyzing the Intercollegiate competitions of the Students Karate-do league of 1992. It also investigates the difference of winning techniques between male and female students. The study group was composed of 136 male and 60 female students participated in the 36th All-Japan Intercollegiate Karate-do Individual Competition.

Judging from the winning techniques, a double point win had a higher ratio than winning by a decision for both male and female students. Another notabale was, even after revising the rules of the karate-do match, a thrust was concentrated up to about 80% in the male matches. In the female matches the thrust was 90%.

This paper deals with Physical Education in South Korea with particular reference to its qualitative improvement during the second and third programs for national education in the period from 1960 to 1970. In addition to general comments, a comparison is made with the guidelines for the teaching of physical education in Japan from the standpoint of content modernization which was the trend of that time. The results were as follows:

First, following the military revolution of 16 May 1961 economic development and the establishment of ethnic identity became the national agenda in South Korea and plans were pushed forward to use education to promote these ends. However, as a result of political unrest, together with insufficient time for preparation, the second program for physical education, as was the case with all other subjects as well, proceeded along the lines of the first program, a program which had stressed the ideals of democracy and the fostering of well-rounded individuals. Thus the second progam failed to meet the natioal requirements of the time.

Second, the third program for education, embodying the principles of the Charter for National Education, was set up during the period when the national govemment was seeking to reinforce its policy on physical education. Although appearing to be partly modelled on Japan's guidelines for physical education, the program reffected the currently popular emphases on the scientific approach to physical training and the achievement of physical strength through sports. It thus contributed to the situation where all education, not just physical education, became a planned and managed progrm.From this it can be inferred that the government looked on education mainly as a means to economic development.
