The purpose of this study was to clarify the characteristics of the arm swing movements of upper grade elementary school children during sprinting from the viewpoint of gender and differences in sprinting ability. Fifty-three children were asked to run 50 m and filmed from the side with a video camera. The subjects were then classified into 3 group...
Article
The purpose of this study was to compare the throwing motion with and without run-up of children in the lower grades of elementary school, who were in the introductory stage of learning the throwing motion, and to clarify the effect of the presence or absence of run-up the throwing motion and throwing distance. Softball throwing test was conducted...
Article
The purpose of this study was to clarify the differences in the sprint motion focusing points between elementary school teachers, who are not specialized in physical education, and sprint coaches when they are observing and evaluating sprint motions of elementary school children. The results are summarized as follows. 1) Coaches focused on lower li...
Article
The present study involved a cross-sectional investigation of the arm swing direction during sprint running in order to clarify age- and gender-dependent characteristics and specificities. A total of 457 subjects of both sexes ranging from elementary school children to adult sprinters were visually assessed during sprint running and classified as “...
Article
The purpose of the present study was to obtain basic data on sprint performance by students in physical education classes for 3 types of crouching start (CS)—bunch start (BS), medium start (MS), and elongated start (ES)— and standing start (SS), and to examine differences between males and females. The results are summarized as follows. 1) Over a 5...
Article
The purpose of this research creates the observation valuation basis of batting motion of the technical college students, and considers a difference of the movement observation capability of the physical education teachers and a general student, and it was clarifying the observation point of the batting motion which can be used by physical educatio...
Article
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the speed of a thrown ball and differences in the effect of training in junior and senior high school baseball fielders at different developmental stages would be influenced by stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) training and resistance training. The subjects were classified into three groups: a SSC t...

... In other sports, evaluation methods have been developed, allowing many physical education teachers and instructors to quantitatively assess qualitative perspectives on performance (Aburano, Ogata, Sekioka, Nagai, & Shimizu, 1995;Aglioti, Cesari, Romani, & Urgesi, 2008;Amara et al., 2015;Fujita, Ikeda, Chin, & Takeda, 2010;Hiruma, Mori, & Ogata, 2014;Kaji, Tomozoe, Yoshinaga, & Suzuki, 2017;Knudson & Morrison, 1996;Kokudo, 2012;Nakamura et al., 2011;Roberton & Konczak, 2001;Suzuki, Tomozoe, Yoshinaga, Kaji, & Hirayama, 2016;Takamoto, Ogata, & Idei, 2003;Takizawa & Tomozoe, 2017), and students are able to learn from this qualitative point of view (Knudson & Morrison, 2007). Since observation evaluation depends on the sports experience of the physical education teacher, it is necessary to use methods that more teachers can apply and to consider the priority of which method to emphasize (Adachi & Suzuki, 2009;Hosogoshi, Nakamura, Yonemura, & Takahashi, 2009;Noda, Asaoka, Hasegawa, & Kato, 2009). ...
... This could be because the power exerted in the body rotations do not contribute significantly to the service and stroke actions of junior high school players, even those of high skill. Hiruma (2011) reported that the delivery speed and shot speed of baseball players are unrelated to performance on the backward medicine ball throw. Moreover, the present study's finding of no significant difference on the backward ball throw supports the belief that the muscles exerted in this throw do not contribute to achievement of the serve and stroke actions. ...
