| Research Abstract |
1. To test and evaluate relationship between 20m shuttle-run test performance and maximal oxygen uptake in Japanese people, 366 Japanese (male: n=178, female: n=188) aged from 6 to 64 years old were tested. Maximal oxygen uptake was directly measured with a cycle ergometer. The correlation coefficient R between score of 20m shuttle-run test and maximal oxygen uptake was o.77 and it was considered to be high enough to justify the computation of a regression equation. A equation that estimated maximal oxygen uptake (ml・kgィイD1-1ィエD1・minィイD1-1ィエD1:Y) by score of 20m shuttle-run test (X) was Y=0.225X+26.018. According to the equation, a conversion table was prepared
2. The following new 12 ADLs (activities of daily living) were proposed as useful, practical and simple ADL items to estimate ADL ability on community older people; jumping across a ditch, walking, running, up and down stairs, transfer, taking bedding in and out, buttoning a shirt, standing in the bus or train, dressing while standing (trousers), standing on one foot with eyes open, sitting up, standing up from the floor. The ADL score was significantly related to age and physical fitness test scores, and tended to be higher in subjects with a higher self-assessment of health status and physical fitness level, and with more frequency. Further, the overall ADL score were considered to be valid for judgment whether the physical fitness tests could be executed.
