| Abstract;The purpose of the present study was to clarify how dadily physical activity affects the physical fitness (side step, vertical jump, back strength, grip strength, trunk extension, standing trunk flexion, step test) as well as the motor ability (50-meter run, running long jump, ball throw, pull-ups, endurance run) during the growth period. The subjects were 896 healthy children and adolescents between 10 and 18 years of age. The daily physical activity was evaluated using a pedometer. The mean values of steps per day were 14,371.+-.4,627 (mean.+-.SD) for the boys and 11,489.+-.3,544 for the girls. The sixth graders of elementary school achieved the maximum value. Multiple regression analysis of the physical fitness and motor ability according to the school year showed that the daily physical activity closely correlated with the motor ability in the junior high school and senior high school stages. The effect of the body constitution was related to the physical fitness. These results indicate that the decrease of physical activity is one of the causes of lowering of the motor ability (since 1985). (author abst.) |
