The physical strength of the people, etc. The figures are the same as at the time of the last Tokyo Olympics, Japan Sports Agency October 18, 17:06
When the Japan Sports Agency investigated the physical strength and athletic ability of the people, it was found that although the physique was larger than that at the time of the last Tokyo Olympic Games in 1964, the record of exercise did not change much. ..
The Japan Sports Agency conducts physical fitness and athletic ability tests every year, and last year, about 63,000 people aged 6 to 79 were targeted.
Comparing the results with those around 1964, when the last Tokyo Olympics were held, the ▽ 50-meter run peaked at around 17 years old for boys and around 14 to 15 years old for girls, and
▽ endurance
running for
boys. In the
items other than ball throwing, there was no big difference in the peak ages and recorded figures,
such as peaking at 17 to 18 years old and 13 years old for girls
.
On the other hand, the height and weight, which represent the physique, are said to have improved significantly at all ages.
An expert who cooperated with the survey said, "It seems that there is no difference from the time of the last Tokyo Olympics, but until around 1985, the physique and record had risen, but since then it has changed rapidly and only the record has fallen. There is a history of doing so, "he said, saying that his athletic ability is relatively lower than at that time because his physique is now larger.
In addition, the survey for this year has not been conducted in nearly half of the 47 prefectures due to the influence of the new coronavirus, so the Japan Sports Agency plans to investigate as much as possible and summarize the results.
