Today it is normal for women to partake in sports or exercise. This paper will firstly describe the current status of women in sport and exercise and its significance, using the actual practice and the current status of physical education at a woman's high school, Tokyo Woman's Christian University. Following this, the paper will investigate the background behind how Tetsu Yasui (1870–1945), the teacher who brought the fundamentals of physical education to the University, but was not a specialist in physical education, emphasized its importance in education, as well as looking into the history of physical education for women in Japan and how it has played such a big role to date. Lastly, the paper will aim to provide possible considerations for the future of physical education at the university.Sport and exercise is an effective method of supporting the health of the body and the mind, however the tendency for women to drop out of exercise between junior and senior high school is quite prominent, with nearly half of all students feeling out of touch with exercise once they graduate university. From the results of the study, it was found that the same problem has arisen for the students Tokyo Woman's Christian University.Yasui claims that "if physical education is not thorough enough, we cannot produce women with admirable qualities", and Tokyo Woman's Christian University has a history of keeping that ideology in mind, having placed a heavy importance on physical education in women from the opening of the school up until now. It is thought by the research group that they continue to combine further research and improvements to raise awareness of the social role that sport and exercise has for students in maintaining a healthy body and mind as well as forming solidarity with others, in the hope of guiding students to develop a broad view of the world while creating good relationships among people.今日では,女性がスポーツや運動をすることは当たり前のこととして捉えられるようになった.本稿では,まず女性におけるスポーツ・運動参加の現状と意義を述べ,女性の高等教育機関である東京女子大学の学生の実践及び身体教育の実態を述べる.そして同大学の体育の基礎を築いた安井てつ(1870–1945)が,体育の専門家ではないにも拘わらず教育活動において体育を重視するに至った経緯を調査し,同時に日本の女子体育史上,如何に大きな役割を果たしたかについて探っていく.併せて同大学におけるこれからの体育のあり方について考察することを目的とした.スポーツ・運動は心身の健康を維持するための有効な手段であるが,女性は中学校期から高校期にかけて運動をしなくなる傾向が顕著で,大学を終えると半数近くが運動と疎遠になる.東京女子大学の学生についても同様の事が調査の結果,課題として浮かび上がった.安井は「体育が充分に行き届かなければ,立派な品性ある女子を作ることはできない」との考えであったが,東京女子大学は開学以来今日までその理念を尊重すべく女性の身体教育を重要視してきた歴史がある.研究グループは今後も更に研究・改善を重ね,学生にスポーツ・運動実践を通して心身の健康や他者との連帯を図るという社会的役割を認識させ,良好な人間関係を築くとともに世界を見渡せる広い視野を養うよう導いていきたいと考える.
