| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The originally planned study for the local community became difficult due to the spread of COVID-19. Therefore, (1) using the "Time for Inquiry" at a High School in Hokkaido, the students themselves developed an intervention plan and implemented it with their friends. (2) using a mixed research method, some company employee who are doing teleworke planed to increase their own physical activity, and the process was qualitatively described . The results showed that (1) the intervention of conducting radio calisthenics designed by high school students did not show any difference in the number of steps taken or calories burned during the winter season, but the intervention group reported that their awareness of health and physical activity had changed positively. (2) Although the intervention method designed by each participant was found to increase their awareness of exercise and health, it did not lead to mutual interaction because the participants were teleworking.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
一般的に身体活動量は、自家用車での移動に頼らざるを得ない地方では低い。加えて積雪や路面凍結がある北海道では、冬季にさらに低下する。この課題に対し、高校生自らが考え、調べ、冬期間中も身体活動を維持する方法を考案し、研究として実施、分析したことは、将来にわたって考える力を身につけるうえで重要な取り組みであった。また、テレワークを行う企業従業員の多くは運動不足や栄養の偏りを実感しており、社会でネットワークを構築し身体活動量維持に取り組むきっかけとして、ウエラブルデバイスの装着には意義があった。今回は、当初目的としていた地域を対象とした展開にはつなげることができず、この点は今後の課題である。
