生活のQOLを高めることを目指したウォーキング・ランニングの在り方に関する総合的研究

A walking and/or running for raising quality of life (QOL) was studied from the face of exercise physiology，exercise biochemistry，sport sociology. Three experiments and a survey were carried out to achieve the purpose. The results were summarized as follows:
1) The running program in the long time was effective in the decrease of body fat percentage， the decrease of body weight as overweight person， and also in the increase of muscular endurance.
2) Appropriate BMI and muscular endurance are important for the marathon race.
3) Accelerometer steps per day did not significantly for correlate to body composition，
health-related parameters in blood or serum adipocytokine levels.
4) Each subject ofthe walk exercise must be examined from the coordination ability.
5) A exercise class rises the Self-efficacy(SE)，and the individual group activity is
effective to maintain the SE.
