本研究では, 高齢者を対象としたe スポーツによる認知トレーニングの効果とトレーニングへの参加意欲を検証した。【方法】健常高齢者12 名を対象に『ぷよぷよ』を2 カ月間（全8 回）, 対戦形式で実施した。実施前後にMMSE,CPT,ストループ検査,TMT による評価を, 実施後4 カ月時点で, ストループ検査,TMT による評価を行い, トレーニング効果を解析した。また, トレーニング期間終了時に参加に関するアンケート調査を実施した。検査の学習効果を確認するため, トレーニング未実施群として健常高齢者6 名に,MMSE, ストループ検査,TMT による評価を行った。【結果と考察】トレーニング実施群のストループ課題の正答数とTMT の施行時間は，トレーニング前と比較して有意差がみられた。トレーニング未実施群では, 有意差はみられなかった。また，アンケート結果から参加者が意欲的に参加したことが明らかになった。e スポーツによる認知トレーニングは, 健常高齢者に全般性注意機能の向上をもたらし, 積極的に参加できることが示唆された。

For this research, it was decided to carry out a fact-finding survey in order to clarify the current status of esports activities at high schools in Japan, as well as issues for establishing esports clubs, and to examine measures for resolving those issues. The subjects were teachers acting as chief club advisors at 319 schools affiliated with the North America Scholastic Esports Federation JAPAN (NASEF JAPAN). Responses were collected from 103 schools in 33 prefectures (32.3% of affiliated schools), and the final number of valid responses was 84 (81.6%). The survey was conducted via a web questionnaire, with a mixed format combining multiple-choice and free-comment answers. The period of the survey was May 9 to May 18, 2022. The results showed that issues for establishing esports club activities at high schools in Japan vary depending on school type and size, and whether there are in-class activities. There were also found to be differences in and connections with competitive level depending on whether there are club guidelines. There has been some criticism of engaging in esports activities as part of school education, but these activities can likely serve as one solution for transforming those negative attitudes. This is because the activities aim to foster sportsmanship, improve non-cognitive skills, promote community growth, improve self-discipline, and promote physical and mental health, and they will strengthen connections with society through contribution to the community, and reporting on activities throughout Japan.
