Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the game of tag as a training for running associated with the agility of children. When the number of taggers are taken as 3 to 4, it becomes evident that the total running distance increases, and both the number of movements, such as the number of runs including the dash, and the number of dash movements after abruptly stopping and turning around changing direction also show an increase. Further, in an 8-week training with training once a week, it has been clarified that the total running distance and the number of times various step movements for “dodging people” both showed an increase.
