摘要：In order to study the physical fitness of boys and girls in the rural district, measurements of the maximum working capacity and several other tests for the basis of physical fitness were executed on children in a rural and urban district in Gifu prefecture. The results obtained were as follows; 1) The development of physical status of rural children did not make any appreciable difference from the average urban children. This fact was accounted for by the improvement of nutritional intake due to the school provision of food even in far-rural districts. 2) Generally, the development of muscular strength of the rural children was slightly retarded as compared with that of urban children. 3) In the age of elementary school, the agility (50-m running and broad jumping) of the rural children tended to be superior to that of the urban children, whereas this tendency was reversed after 13 years of age. 4) The endurance ability estimated from the distance in 5min-running with their full effort tended to be lower in the rural children, though their maximum oxygen intake was higher than the urban children. This can be explained by a poor efficiency for the working test especially in the rural children. 5) Of cardiorespiratory function tests, the vital capacity, both in standard and timed, as well as resting heart rate and ECG, exhibited no particular differences between the two. The maximum expiratory flow rate grows earlier in rural boys and girls than children before l2 years of age but that of urban children surpassed after the 13 years of age Blood pressure of the average rural was slightly higher than that of the urban. 6) The examination of the urinary protein, glucose and occult-blood remained normal. Because of major intake of vegetable food the urine pH of rural children showed a slightly higher than the urban children.
