| Abstract | The purpose of this study was to observe the long-term effects of tennis training on physical and mental health. 44 middled-aged women participated in the tennis course, consisting of two times per we...ek for three months. A survey of physical, mental and social health, and a measurement of physical fitness were conducted for these subjects before and after the tennis course. The results are summarized as follows: 1. Most subjects showed improvement, in various aspects of the degree of health-in particular, in the items of mental and social health. An expansion of the life time/space was ascertained in the survey on the life pattern. 2. A decrease of anxious feeling and an increase of comfortable sensation toward sports were observed. Many subjects showed an increased awareness of positive mental and social effects of sports. Mental stability and activity in daily life were facilitated among the participants in this tennis course. 3. Among many subjects the motivation to participate in the tennis course was to compensate for a lack of exercise. No subjects were classified into the unadapted type by Y-G test.. Furthermore, desirable changes were observed in other psychological tests among the subjects after three months. 4. Skinfold thickness and % body fat showed a tendency to decrease after three months. However, there were no changes of body weight, among the subjects. 5. As for physical fitness, effects were observed on back strength, standing trunk flexion, trunk extention, vital capacity and maximum oxygen Intake. However, no significant difference was observed on muscular power, agility and others. Above results suggest that long-term tennis training has effects on the health formula, both in physical and mental aspects. As prospective theme, we are interested in the longitudinal study of the obtained results. (Journal of Health Science Kyushu University, 9: 31-39, 1987)show more |
