Outline of Final Research Achievements

In Japan, mountaineering is very popular in every generation, but accidents increase year by year. Although many hikers do daily aerobic exercise such as walking, many of them experience physical troubles in mountain. These problems are caused by lack of their physical fitness, as well as by mismatch between their fitness and required fitness level of their aiming mountain. The present study clarified; 1) how to match hiker's fitness level and the required fitness level of hiking route, 2) adequate walking speed at various slope of mountain trail, 3) developing fitness training methods considering of mountaineering specificity. 4) developing active learning system for utilizing the knowledge by themselves.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

登山事故が起こるたびに「無理をしないようにしよう」「気をつけよう」といった、具体性に乏しい注意喚起にとどまっているのが現状である。本研究で得られた主要な成果は、安全・安心な登山を実現するための具体的な諸指針を示すとともに、各登山者がそれらの知見を自身で活用していけるような方法論を提示したことである。これらの研究成果は学術論文としての公表に加え、国立登山研修所が新たに刊行した指導者用テキストにも掲載され、安全登山の啓発に広く貢献することができた。
