Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, focusing on Kendo, the following points were demonstrated regarding deceptive movements: 1) strikes using the deceptive movements did not significantly reduce the success rates even when the starting distances of the movements were lengthened compared to normal strikes, 2) disguised movements were incorporated to prevent the opponents from perceiving the targets of the strikes by bringing the swords close to the opponents in both normal and deceptive strikes, 3) both disguised and deceptive movements were adjusted to approach the opponents and prolong the movement durations from longer starting distances, 4) in deceptive strikes, they not only induced the opponents' incorrect responses but they also utilized counter-movements to increase the velocities of striking movements and reduced the durations of the movements.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の学術的意義は，有効なフェイント動作の重要点を解明する試みそのものである．従来のフェイント動作の研究は，先行研究の方法論ありきの研究が多く，競技現場での現象・視点に基づいて検討しておらず，有効な動作の重要点がほとんど理解されていない．本研究の成果は，スポーツの熟練過程や対人認知の研究に新たな発見や方法論をもたらすはずである．さらに，フェイント動作が多様なスポーツで重要な技能であるが故に，学校や競技現場での運動・スポーツ教育のために有益な情報を提供することにつながり，社会・教育的な意義も深い．
