This original gymnastic exercise, \"Vegefru -exercise\", is the gymnastic exercise choreographed to the music \"Vegefru\" which an NPO, Japan Produce Alliance for Better Health, has produced for the purpose of promoting consumption of fruits and vegetables, by using an Indian club developed earlier as sporting equipment to promote health. In order to verify its effectiveness, cardiotachometry and a questionnaire investigation was carried out in the last week of classes starting in April and ending in July in 2007 where \"Vegefru-exercise\" was adopted as warming-up exercise, by targeting at 299 of first-year students at J women's college. Also by targeting at two students of the same college, measurements of MET-levels were performed in order to show the exercise intensity. The results are as follows. The cardiac rate became from 113.2 bpm at one and a half minutes after the start of the exercise to 118.2 bpm at 3 minutes after the start of the exercise, where MET-levels increased from 7 to 8 METs after 3 minutes. These results suggest that the exercise intensity of the exercise is suitable for the of health Promotion. The results of the questionnaire investigation are as follows. The tendency was analyzed by comparing three groups of students divided according to their competence for the \"Vegefru-exercise\", \"high competence group\", \"medium competence group\", and \"low competence group\". To the questions on \"impression after the exercise\", \"experience of various movements and large-scale movements\", \"hope for re-experience\", 90% of them answered in the affirmative, by answering as \"It was pleasant.\", \"I could experience it.\" ,and \"I hope for it.\". It was observed that among the groups the higher in competence the more evident this affirmative tendency was. To the question concerning dietary education, \"Is the 'Vegefru-exercise' applicable to dietary education ?\", which had been the objective to develop this exercise, 90% of the students answered in the affirmative. This answer suggests that this exercise is effective in application to dietary education.","PeriodicalId":442361,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Gymnastics for All","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115671292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We believe, as stated by Kawamorita et al., that the ability to self-manage health entails being able to comprehend one′s mental and physical conditions and to practice healthy behaviors in a self-directed manner. We believe that in putting these healthy behaviors into practice, it is important for subjects to be able to ascertain changes in their mental and physical conditions within their day-to-day activities. This act of ascertaining one′s mental and physical conditions is what we have termed “self-awareness”, and we have developed the “Self-Awareness Score” as a scale to monitor changes in the subject′s conditions. We positioned the “Self-Awareness Score” as a scale to monitor any changes in mental and physical conditions resulting from gymnastic exercise. The scale is separated into two factors, the mental condition and the physical condition, and its purpose is to provide a way to visualize and understand subjective evaluations.The purpose of this round of research was to focus on and investigate the physical condition scale of the “Self-Awareness Score” by utilizing physical strength and fitness tests, step count recording, and a questionnaire regarding changes in mental and physical conditions. The subjects of the research were attendees of the Health Promotion courses in the Center forLifelong Learning and Extension Programs at the Shibaura Institute of Technology. The group (all residents of Saitama City) comprised 4 males and 11 females for a total of 15 people. The average age of the males was 53.5 years old, 50.5 years old for females and the group average was 51.3 years old (±11.6). In the period from October 13th through November 17th 2007, in addition to lectures on exercising, a total of five classes were implemented, each comprising approximately 90 minutes of gymnastic exercises.The results of this round of research showed no significant differences in the mean values of the measurements taken before and after the course between the “Self-Awareness Score” physical condition scale and each of the following items: physical strength and fitness tests, step count recordings, and results in the questionnaire on changes in mental and physical conditions. No correlation between the above items was found as well. This suggests that there is no relationship between the physical condition scale and the measured items.On the other hand, the results from the questionnaire regarding changes in mental and physical conditions and the “Self-Awareness Scores” showed that subjects both actually felt and became aware of changes in their mental and physical conditions. From this, we believe that through self-awareness, subjects were able to comprehend their mental and physical conditions, and that this can l","PeriodicalId":442361,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Gymnastics for All","volume":"2013 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127322724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In 2006, we devised the ‘J-Women’s University gymnastic’ to fit the university song, which was an instrumental piano song without lyrics. Using 336 firstgrade students as our subjects we conducted our investigation during warm-up exercises in class from May to July 2007, and during the final week we took the heart rate measurement (201 students) as well as conducted an anonymous survey (308 students). The results were as follows: a mild increase in heart rate from 83.5 (±12.0) bpm 30 sec after commencing exercise to 102.3 (±13.3) bpm 3 min after commencing exercise. With regard to ‘Matching the form of the gymnastic to the school song’, ‘Matching’ and ‘Partially matching’ together accounted for 97.4% of the results with no variation in the tendency for self-conscious learning. With regard to the ‘Desire to repeat the experiment’, there was a higher tendency among those who displayed a higher level of self-conscious learning. With regard to the ‘Practice of original school gymnastic outside class’, the most common results were ‘After getting up’, ‘To change my mood’ and ‘Organized gymnastic’. These results suggest that the J-Women’s University gymnastic may be highly beneficial.","PeriodicalId":442361,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Gymnastics for All","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130274914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fukase","doi":"10.4107/GYM.7.19","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4107/GYM.7.19","url":null,"abstract":"The aim of this study was to propose coaching points for the introduction of wheel gymnastics. Toward this aim, beginners' particularities were investigated, especially those which appeared in side rotation. The examinees were 26 university students (3 males and 23 females) who had no previous experience in wheel gymnastics. Skill observations and questionnaires were conducted to analyze the participants' characteristics.Of the examinees, 54% tended to dorsiflex their necks during side rotation. This kind of feature may lead to a sway of the wheel and prevent smooth rotation. A tendency to dorsiflex ankles was also observed in 85% of the examinees. That means that many examinees could not fix their feet on the foot boards with the bindings. Some of them were unconscious of the positioning of their feet. Of the examinees, 77% examinees could not finish the side rotation, because they could not begin it or because the wheel stopped on the way. The wheel gymnastics program was thoroughly interesting for all, but at the same time, a fearful experience for about half of the examinees.From the results and considerations, the coaching points for introduction of this sport were derived mainly as follows.: 1) Visible target needs to be used to make the face turn toward the front.: 2) Assistant is to be arranged to help the beginner to fix the feet on the boards, to prevent the sway of the wheel, and to push it in case of stopping.:3) Timing of coaching the foot skill for fixing them on the boards needs to be considered. Players' emotional and technical capacity should be taken into account.: 4) Programs should be presented to accustom players to the wheel, and analogical movements should be utilized for emotional apprehension, which will help in developing the correct skills.","PeriodicalId":442361,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Gymnastics for All","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128159676","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
