en: A Wearable System Providing a Virtual Collaborator based on Runner's Motion

ja: 動きに基づき仮想の協走者を提供するウェアラブルシステム

en: Spontaneous motive for continuous training is essential in health promotion. From the viewpoint of motive, a framework of performance support is required in addition to prevention of injury. In this research, we developed a wearable system named ``Kyoso-kun'' owing to personal training support. The system which comprises wireless sensors, audio and visual devices, provides a virtual rival who contributes a promotion of trainee's performance step by step while helping the pace setting and form. If the form tends to become unstable, the system makes trainee aware of it, and provide her/him a conscious attempt to improve the situation. Additionally the system promotes her/his motive by producing a racing against the rival. We conducted the comparative experiment for trainees who achieve a certain level of running. From the result, our proposal is same or better performance than two other methods while there is the possibility of holding down the situation of unstable form.

en: Web Training-system Promoting Self-regulation of Pace for Stable Running

ja: ランニングの自己ペース調整を支援するWeb訓練システム

en: This paper proposes a web-based environment that helps runners' self-regulation of pace for stable running. The objective of the support is to promote physical-skill awareness which stabilizes their heart-rate by adjustments of their pace during running. In this scenario, runners are given recommended heart-rate zone individually in order to follow it. In training, runners exercise with GPS ( Global Positioning System) and HRM (Heart Rate Monitor). They refer to the pace-simulation system with a map-based annotation after running. Annotations are generated automatically through analysis of their log data. They indicate sections of improvements on the course and promote comprehension about the relationship between runners' heart-rate and pace through consideration of environmental factors. Finally, the system helps runners to reflect upon their regulation of pace toward the next training. We conducted the experiment. The result shows that the system promotes runners' heart-rate stabilization through awareness about the self-regulation of their pace.


en: Remote coaching system for runner's form with wearable wireless sensor

en: This paper describes a remote training which supports the coaching of runner's form by applying wearable wireless sensors. The system provides a trainer with kinematic information about exercise behaviour of a trainee through monitoring the arm swing with the tri-axial accelerometer in real time. While a trainer can advise the improvement of body movement on a web browser, a trainee can receive the indication during running as a sound feedback. We have designed and implemented our proposal. From the result of an experiment, it was found that the system contributed to the stabilisation of the running form through trainer's appropriate advice.

en: Three dimensional motion analyses for rehabilitation version of Awa Odori exercise and the expectancy of physical effects.

en: 'Awa Odori Exercise--Rehabilitation version--was developed in 2006 for the new trial of physical exercise for the aging and the impaired person with lower balance performance in Tokushima prefecture, Japan. Public relations of this exercise had been spreading over Tokushima since then. The characteristics of the exercise were highly familiar with most of people in Tokushima because of popularity in original 'Awa Odori'. This study proposed the efficacies of Awa Odori Exercise as a rehabilitation exercise. This exercise expected the flexible balance reinforcements and the substitution for walking training with prevention of fall, bedridden and participating restriction for the old people, also promoting the health in Tokushima.

en: Supporting real-time awareness for the community of runners

en: This paper describes a training-support environment for runners who run together with mobile sensor network. The system provides awareness information as feedbacks to runners by using their kinetic feature and communication conditions between sensors at the real-time. In particular 3D-acceleration sensor catches repeats of arm swing. Moreover, sensors transmit such information to the remote server on the web. The remote advisor can observe the condition of runners by way of graphic reports of sensing information on the web and control the trigger of awareness manually. We have designed and implemented our proposal. From the result of a trial use, the system contributes some runners' improvements about the stabilisation of their pace

en: A walking and/or running for raising quality of life (QOL) was studied from the face of exercise physiology，exercise biochemistry，sport sociology. Three experiments and a survey were carried out to achieve the purpose. The results were summarized as follows:1) The running program in the long time was effective in the decrease of body fat percentage， the decrease of body weight as overweight person， and also in the increase of muscular endurance.2) Appropriate BMI and muscular endurance are important for the marathon race.3) Accelerometer steps per day did not significantly for correlate to body composition，health-related parameters in blood or serum adipocytokine levels.4) Each subject ofthe walk exercise must be examined from the coordination ability.5) A exercise class rises the Self-efficacy(SE)，and the individual group activity iseffective to maintain the SE.

en: A Research on Participants of Honolulu Marathon Regarding the Preparation and Actual Condition of the Race

ja: ホノルルマラソン参加者の準備状況とレースの実態に関する調査研究

en: This paper intends to describe the results of a questionnaire survey conducted among the participants of the 34th Honolulu Marathon that was held on 11th of December, 2005 in Hawaii. Before the event, most of the participants from Tokushima Prefecture took part in the training programs offered through local extra-mural courses, and the survey was carried out among this type of people. The varied responses were 207. The ratio of men to women was one-on-one and their average age was 46. Half of them had no prior experiences of jogging and 7 out of 10 people have answered that it was going to be the first time that they would challenge a full marathon. On average, they practiced jogging 3 times a week, 1 hour each. The distance of their jogging practice a month was about 150km on average in October and November 2005. The longest distance in the training was 26km per practice. As for their chief purposes of the race, the largest number of people, which accounted for 46%, answered that they would wish to finish in a target time. The average of goal time was 5 hours 29 minutes. Half of the participants answered (their performances were) 'worse than expected'. Likewise, those who commented their running speeds became slower in the latter half of the race, those who walked, and those who felt a lack of their energies roughly accounted for half of the participants. The worst five points of pains that the participants had experienced were in front of thigh, back of thigh, calf, ball of the foot and knee, and most of them began to feel these pains after they reached 20km. On the following morning of the race, fewer people expressed that they had had a fever, a headache or a diarrhea. On the other hand, two third felt muscle soreness in the front of their thighs, while half felt muscle soreness in their calf. Moreover, one out of three participants felt pains in their knees. It is found that whether one has practiced long distance or not before the race is one of the prime factors for causing physical pains during the race. Compared to those who had practiced more than 30km, those who had practiced less than 21.5km tended to feel more pains in thighs, knees, calf, and bottoms of their foot and so forth after they reached 20km. It is pointed out that sleeping time of the day before the race has had no obvious influence upon the performance of the race.

ja: 2005年12月11日に開催された第34回JALホノルルマラソンに参加したランナーに対してアンケート調査を実施した．調査対象者はホノルルマラソンに向けたトレーニングプログラムの参加者であり,207名から回答を得た．男女比は1:1で,平均年齢は46歳,半数がジョギング未経験者で7割がフルマラソン未経験であった．ジョギングの練習は平均で,週3回,約1時間行っていた．10月・11月の月間走行距離は150kmで,1回の練習における最長距離は26kmであった．ホノルルマラソンの最大の目標は「目標タイムで走る」が46%で最も多かった．ゴールタイムの平均は5時間29分で,半数が「思ったよりも走れなかった」と回答した．後半かなり遅くなった人,歩いた人,エネルギー切れを感じた人がそれぞれ約半数いた．太もも前側,太もも裏側,ふくらはぎ,足の裏,膝がレース中に痛みを感じた部位のトップ5であり,20kmを越えてから痛みを感じる割合が急増していた．レースの翌日に発熱や頭痛,下痢などの症状があった人はわずかであった．3分の2が太ももの前側に筋肉痛を感じていて,半数がふくらはぎに筋肉痛があった．また3分の1が膝の痛みを感じていた．長距離練習を実施したか否かがレース中の身体の痛みの出現の大きな要因となっていると考えられる．21.5km未満の練習しか行っていない群では,30km以上の練習を行った群に比べて,20kmを越えると太ももや膝,ふくらはぎ,足の裏などに痛みを感じる人が多かった．レース前日の睡眠時間の多少はレースのパフォーマンスに影響を与えないことが示された．
