A study which examined the desire for physical play activity in preschool-age children was assessed by projective methodology. Through individual interviews, a pictorial scale that composed of five active and passive pictures was shown to the subjects for five consecutive days. To examine the criterion-related validity of the projective methodology, the amount of physical activity in kindergarten estimated from step rate counted by pedometer and three motor ability tests (25-m dash, standing broad jump and ball-throw) was investigated. In adittion, we correlated the test-retest projective methodology reliability of the first day with those of the 2nd to 5th days. Sixty-six boys and fifty-four girls, ages ranging from 4.5 through 5.5 years, were used as subjects. The main results were as follow:

The main results were as follow:

After the test-retest methodology in both boys and girls, there were significant correlations on the projective scale between the first day and the 2nd to 5th days respectively.

For boys, there was a significant correlation between the desire for physical play activity and the amount of physical activity in kindergarten ( r = 0.312 p < 0. 05) . The desire for the physical play activity significantly correlated with two motor ability tests ( 25 - m dash ; r = -0. 248p く 0. 05, ball - throw ; r = 0. 335 p < 0. 01).

For girls, there was no significant correlation between the desire for physical play activity and the amount of physical activity in kindergarten. There was no significant correlation between the desire for physical play activity and motor ability tests.

From the study results, it could be inferred that the degree of influence of the desire for physical play activity on the amount of physical activity in kindergarten and motor ability status might be different between pre-school age boys and girls.

Turning now to Jigoro Kano's Theory of Judo, I would like to put forth some proposals as follows, in consideration of which the most of the students come to neglect Kata and to forget the founder's philosophy as the competition getsthe popularity more than the times when Judo was established.

(1) Kano established Kodokan Judo after deep studying a lot of Jujutsu Tech-niques and theories, and then what he consentrated to establish Judo was the safety method for its training. For instance he made long sleeves for the train-ing suits and advanced a new doctorine for leaning with a scientific point of view. Long sleeves could bling about a technical revolution such as easier turn-ing movements under the holding Judo suits and easier off balancing the oppo-nent because of wider space between the opponents each other.

I should suggest the students should consider those new characteristics of Judo and make use of those merits for the training of Kuzusi.

(2) Katas in Judo subjects were created for learning Atemi-waza and Kansetsu-waza, but some dangerous ones hich mean more effective to give serious damage to the body are omitted out of Katas with the reason for safety. Nage-no-Kata and Katame-no-kata are taken separately from Randori by the students.

I should suggest it is neccesary to make new Atemi-waza which works with more serious effeciency as the self diffence and also to make new Kata such as combinations from Nage-waza to Katame-waza.

(3) Kano tried to make a fighting method of Randori in the distance and to study Aikido one day, but did not finish to make it during his lifetime.

I should suggest it is neccesary to succeed to his plan to make the fighting method of Randori in the distance.

(4) The meaning of Ju, he explains, is to give way as a first step towards final victory and later Kano declared the principle of whatever be the object, it can best be attained by the maximum efficient use of mind and body for thatpurpose. I should suggest it is neccesary to contribute toward the social development by considering the principle of Kano's declaration.

(5) The meaning of Do could be said education and also to apply the principleto the affairs of life, and Kano expounded patriotism, courage, self-control and courtesy as Do of education. I should suggest it is neccesary today to advocate the attitudes of courage and courtesy which Kano had expounded, and to express the meaninngu of "Kyo-ei" which Kano had explained.

The purpose of this study was performed to examine the effects of peasonal health level, leisure satisfaction and debotion on life satisfaction.

In order to meet this purpose, the subjects employed by this study were 135 students in Suwon Women's Junior College. We obtained the following conclusions through analysis and investigation of results from the survey.

1. There was no significant difference between personal health level and life satisfaction.

2. The correlation doefficient between leisure satisfaction and life satisfaction was 0. 370.

3. The correlation doefficent between devotion level and life satisfaction was 0. 247.

These values were comparatively level in correlation. But considering the subject was not the aged group but women college student, it resulted from the peculiar life style of women college student. According to these results, leisure satisfaction and devotion level is factors afficting life satisfaction.

This is the study of the method and mechanism of Nougaku performance. It stems from a question out of my experience as a dance choreographer : “How can one make movement dramatic fascinating in an empty space? How does one make simple movements into a dance?"

I have approached this question through the method of Japanese tradisional theatre Nougaku. Interviewing Nogaku performers and two foreign artists, I have researched Nougaku dramaturgy regarding two key subjects : “the techniues of Kata (petterned forms)", and “empty stage." Through re-examinig these issues, it seems possible to gain an understanding universality and potential of Nougaku as comtemporary theatre form.

There are many differences between U. S. College sports and Japanese College sports.

America is a nation of sports I think. Children touch basketball or football from infancy, and have time to watch sports with their family.

College sports is the highest peak of amateur sports in America. But now, people say that college sports is a matter of business.

University authorities are eager to get skilful coaches and outstanding student-athletes. For that reason, it is important to show how splendid are the facilities, equipment and scholarship in the university concerned. And superior staff are needed by the Athletic department.

Athletic department. Student—athletes are helped by the organization of the athletic department.

Each university athletic department is generalized by the NCAA.

This does not happen in Japanese college sports. Japanese student-athlete have to do everything by themselves. There is no pro coach and no pro trainer. So student staff fill a very important position for the team.

Sports activities need a lot of money. In America, the cost is paid by the university. But it is not like that in Japan.

Why is there this difference between the two nations. It is because of the difference in the general idea of sports I think.

There are many problems with college sports in America. But we should learn from America the systematic management of college sports.

And Japanese college sports need to develop contact with local people through sports.

It is widely recognized that fluid intake during exercise is effective in preventing heat stroke and maintaining exercise performance in a hot environment. However, kendo players have traditionally restricted fluid intake during training, even in a hot environment, in order to cultivate their spirit.

Research involved a study of the fluid intake of kendo players of a college team participating in a summer training camp. Twenty-two kendo players (15 male, 7 female) participated in the summer camp of August in 1997. Trainings in the camp were held twice a day (once in the morning and in the afternoon, respectively). Fluid volume intake of each player in training was measured, as was body weight before and after training, and environmental conditions (i. e. dry-bulb temperature and relative humidity) during training session in the camp.

The players took in fluids in a total of 1477. 1 ± 685. 7ml in each training (201. 7 士 256. 1ml, 320. 3 ± 178. 9ml / hr, and 537. 0 土 347. 5ml before, during and after training, respectively). The real body weight loss (i. e. body weight loss corrected by fluid volume intake) was 2. 4 土 1. 1kg, although body weight loss after training was 0. 9 ± 0. 8kg. There was a significant regression between fluid volume intake and the real body weight loss (r = 0. 614, p く 0. 05). The regression analysis showed a regression coefficient of 0. 401, indicating that the rate of fluid volume intake to fluids volume secretion from the body was 40. 1%. It is vital for kendo players to intake fluids much more frequently during training in a hot environment, and their coaches must design training programs in which the players are able to do so.
