In spite of the generally-accepted truth that human life should be that circulatory repetition of exercises, fatigue attended and rest the modern society has had his unsettled mental fatigue heaped up by depriving him of physical activity absolutely essential to health. For most students in the high time of growth in their lives, physical activities are really in dispensable, the aim of which would be to cultivate their minds and bodies so as far them to keep themselves healthy and to assume the responsibility for the next society.
In view of these shortly mentioned above this study aims at investigate the relation between physical activities and mental fatigue, and at obtaining some basic information of how to manage physical activities desirably.
52 primary and middle(girl) school students were given Flicker Tests and the questionnaires of standardized fatigue perception.
Designed by the Labour & Health Institute of Japan.
The results of the study can be summarized as follows
1. Men's fusion frequency of Flicker is higher than woman's
2. The fusion frequency of Flicker in classes related with physical activities is higher than that in other classes
3. As a result of the higher fusion frequency of Flicker in physical education classes, the mental fatigue rate seems lowered.
4. Physical education classes for primary school students can desirably be placed on Thursdays or Fridays when the rate of mental fatigue is said to reach the apex.
5. Weak-sighted students fusion frequency of Flicker is low, so we can consive that fatigue perception depends on the visual power.
6. Short students are liable to feel more mental fatigue.
7. Students light in weight also tent to feel more mental fatigue. Accordingly, the better his or her physical conditions are the less fatigue he or she feels.
8. Compared with common students athletes have the higher rate of fusion frequency of Flicker. So, the instruction of gymnastics and recreational activities for common students is said to be necessary.
9. Accordingly to the classification of each fatigue perception rate for three domains, the preception rate of physical state is highest; that of mental state, second and that of nervous state lowest.
