Outline of Final Research Achievements

Aiming to examine the effects of motivation on lifestyle and physical activity in lack of sufficient daily physical activity-female adolescents, we implemented an enhancing physical activity intervention program in junior high school female students in Okinawa Prefecture. We also evaluated alterations on their physical activities and exercise intensities. As the results, the amount of physical activity of ‘less exercise’ group had significantly increase after intervention. They also had significant appetite increment in regard to lifestyle. However, the effects of intervention program in other lifestyle elements was not found in both male and female adolescents.
