The purpose of this paper is to conduct a literature review on the career of athletes with very high capabilities in their previous or future sports activities in international competitions. Additionally, we elucidate the trends of research on Japan’s athletes’ careers, and clarify future research issues. Papers were selected in accordance with the review procedure, and finally, 43 papers were deemed to fall under the scope of this review and were classified according to their research category.Four categories were generated: “Competition Retirement”, “Support Systems”, “Employment”, and “Career Development”. We then focused on the shift in research interest in the careers of athletes in the “Career Development” category, and after describing the changes, clarified the research issues. The results, in examination of these changes, are summarized by the following three points.1) With regard to research trends from 1996 to 2002, due to the decline of corporate sports, which has contributed to the improvement of Japan’s international competitiveness, the issue of athletes pursuing a second career started to attract more attention and began to be incorporated in research that belongs to the category of “Competition Retirement”.2) Research trends from 2003 to 2010 fell under the categories of “Support Systems” and “Career Development” due to the background of career support systems established by the Japanese government, professional sports bodies, and universities as well as the increased interest in careers for youth players belonging to the J-League.3) As for research trends after 2011, more papers were found which fell into the “Support Systems” and “Career Development” categories in which career support projects by the J-League and the Japanese Olympic Committee were repurposed to focus on athletes’ professional paths. These included founding start-up companies, and also considered re-education as well as the versatility of athletes’ skills. After 2016, studies in the category of “Career Development” have been actively carried out due to the growing momentum for dual career policies and the promotion of university sports in Japan.

The current research examined the successful experiences and challenges faced by charity participants in the Tokyo marathon. Constraint negotiation (Jackson and Rucks, 1995) served as a theoretical framework to guide this examination. Original data collected by the Tokyo Marathon committee from 2013-2019 was used for data analysis to investigate medium-term changes. A web survey of the past Tokyo Marathon charity participants was conducted to discuss their fundraising experiences and their attitude toward charity. As a result of medium-term analysis, it was found that most of the charity runners decided on their participation because of their ‘running’ motivation for Tokyo Marathon, but of a charity opportunity. The chance of getting into the Tokyo Marathon as a general participant is one in ten or twelve and this situation assists their decision making. Also, fundraising, which is increasing in popularity in the US and Australia, was still quite low in this context. Three factors of successful experiences were revealed from the web survey; one was related to the subject and content of the fundraising, and the second was related to place and tools, and the third factor was related to the way to utilize the general fundraising skill. Four challenges were revealed; challenges for the charity runner her/himself, discomfort in asking donation for donors and potential donors, difficulties about feelings toward the Tokyo marathon charity system, and the lack of a Japanese charity culture.

There are few studies on spectator sports that analyze people’s conversations or expressions from watching games. The aim of this study was to measure sports appreciation ability and to investigate the different types of programs that support spectators(henceforth, “participants” in the context of programs). The types of programs that were assumed to exist are “the one-sided explanation-type program,” “the communication-type program,” and “the workshop-type program.” In this study, the workshop-type(WS)and the communication-type(COM)programs were investigated in the context of university ballet classes. These programs were different in regard to the degree of verbal expression of sports appreciation that participants shared during each program.  As a result, about half of the participants in both groups had had a previous ballet experience. On the other hand, over 10% of the participants replied that they were still taking ballet lessons. More than 30% of the participants had never taken ballet classes.  Sports appreciation ability was measured in two ways: by having the participants evaluate it themselves, and by having others evaluate it. In the analysis of own evaluation, it became clear that three sports appreciation abilities(the ability to formalize, the ability to be objective, and the ability to concentrate on information), which seem important for expression, were higher in the COM program participants than the corresponding abilities in the WS program participants.  The program involving a low degree of expression(the WS program)elicited lower expressions than the program involving a high degree of expression(the COM program). It was suggested that expressions are related to sports appreciation ability.  This investigation did not clearly reveal whether the WS program increased sports appreciation ability. However, the participants in the WS program had a significantly higher degree of satisfaction with the program.
