Abstract: 静岡市のグラウンド・ゴルフ愛好者を対象に加速度センサーを内蔵した歩数計(ライフコーダ)により1週間にわたり、身体活動量および活動強度について測定した。結果は男性対象者の1日あたりの歩数は9066歩で日本人成人男性の平均歩数を1540.5歩上回っており、女性対象者の歩数は8663。3歩で日本人成人女性の平均歩数を2000.7歩上回っていた。これはグラウンド・ゴルフが愛好者の身体活動量に好影響を与えていることを示唆するもので、活動強度についても同様のことが示唆された。しかし、同時に実施した生活習慣チェック合計点と身体活動量および活動強度の間に有意な相関は見られなかった。\\nThe purpose of the present study was to measure the daily physical activities of ground-golf enthusiasts in Shizuoka City and also to assess their daily lifestyles. The results are as follows. (1) The daily average walk count of male subjects was 9,066 steps, while that of women's was 8,663 steps. (2) The daily average time of medium intensity of physical activity in male subjects was 30.9 minutes, while that of women's was 24.4 minutes. (3) The average lifestyle check score for all subjects was 84.0 points. The score for men was 80.6, while that for women was 88.1. (4) There was no significant correlation between levels of physical activity and scores on the lifestyle check survey.
