| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to investigate the physical activity during the daily life of adolescents living in an urban, suburban and rural district of Nepal. We measured the step counts (7-14 days) for more than 2,000 students and the heart rate by 24-h EKG for 150 boys during daily life at 6 primary and secondary schools. While the step counts determined by pedometer (steps/day) was 10,206±1,800 (boys) and 9,242 ± 2,412 (girls) for the urban district, 12,902 ± 2,759 (boys) and 10,213 ± 3,261 (girls) for the suburban district, the one of rural boys and girls was 21,162 ± 7,066 (rain season) - 19,679 ± 6,649 (dry season) and 14,930±4,668 - 17,110±4,377 steps/day, respectively. The mean heart rate during daily life in rural group was higher than the urban and suburban group, but not the maximum heart rate. It is suggested that there are very few anaerobic physical activities in the natural lifestyle.
