This study aimed at evaluating the effect of habitual exercise and the level of daily physical activity on executive function (i.e. inhibitory control) and mental health status in youth adults. Twenty-four undergraduate- and graduateuniversity students participated in this study. All of the subjects underwent evaluations of their mental health (The General Health Questionnaire 28; GHQ28), inhibitory control (Stroop Color and Word Test), past- and current- exercise habits, and daily physical activity levels (International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Version). Current habitual exercise and the level of low intensity physical activity were inversely correlated with score for GHQ28. Past habitual exercise was inversely correlated with reaction time for incongruent trial of the Stroop Color and Word Test. The level of vigorous physical activity was inversely correlated to the accuracy for incongruent trial. This study demonstrates that the level of low intensity daily physical activity may improve inhibitory control and maintain the optimal status of mental health, while the level of vigorous intensity physical activity might lead to an impairment of inhibitory control in youth adults.

This study examined the effect of energy restriction in lunch on lipid metabolism and task performance when the activities simulated the daily life at physical activity level n are performed under 3 conditions; Intake (intake lunch of the normal calories), Half (intake lunch of the half calories), and Skip (skip lunch). In results, it was revealed that energy control of lunch increases fat oxidation rate in inverse ratio to amount of lunch without lowering task performance. Appetite sensations also change according to amount of lunch and feeling of hunger stayed at significantly lower level compared to Skip for about 3 and half hours after energy controlled lunch. These results indicate the possibility that energy control of lunch reduces body fat during daily activities and improves deteriorated heat tolerance.

The purposes of the present study were to observe the thermoregulatory responses from view points of sex difference, seasonal difference between winter and summer, and susceptibility to the heat (atugari) and the cold (samugari). The subjects were 13 females (20.5±0.5yrs, 159.2±6.4cm, 52.1±6.9kg) and 16 males (20.8±1.6yrs, 172.8±4.5cm, 61.6±6.3kg). They put on shorts or underpants, T-shirts and short pants. In the evening, the climatic chamber was controlled at 24℃ RH50%, the temperature increased to 29℃ over 60 minutes gradually. The subjects kept the sitting position. Measurement items were oral temperature, skin temperature, body weight, heart rate, blood pressure and subjective sensations. We determined atugari and samugari according to the subjective sensations of whole body during exposure. The main results were as follows. (1) The classification of atugari and samugari by self judgment did not always agree with the results of exposure experiments, (2) The skin temperatures were winter > summer in the body stem area and winter < summer in the peripheral area in male and female. (3) The skin temperatures were male < female in the body stem area and male > female in the limbs area. (4) Males felt warm in winter than in summer, and they felt warm than females in winter. (5) The values of subjective sensation were atugari > samugari generally. We guessed that the evening exposure produced these phenomena.

This study aims at clarifying the physiological relaxing effect which pink rose brings about for 55 high school students. The stimulation was made by 30 pink roses with non-scent arranged in a vase while the control had no flower for 4 minutes. The physiological indices were the heart rate variability and pulse rate which employed fingertip accelerated plethysmography, and the psychological indicators were the SD method and the shortened version of profile of mood states (POMS). The results as follow: (1) HF were significantly higher, and LF/HF were significantly lower, (2) "comfortable", "natural", and "relaxed" feelings and the mood state were significantly better, while viewing fresh rose flowers than control.

The aims of the present study, were a) to investigate physiological responses in man who ingested branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) drink for 8 consecutive days during and after incremental exercise and b) to examine the effects of BCAA drink intake on aerobic performance during the exercise. Five healthy males ingested 2000mg・day^<-1> of BCAA drink for 7 consecutive days and 10000-mg BCAA before the experiment and performed incremental cycle ergometer exercise until exhaustion. Exercise duration until exhaustion significantly extended and blood lactate concentration at a 100-W load significantly decreased compared to before ingesting BCAA (p<0.05, respectively). These results suggest that BCAA drink intake could result in improving aerobic performance.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the sedative effect of fragrances which have existed in Japan since long time ago such as sakura, ume and fuji. 17 healthy female Japanese subjects were enrolled (21.5±1.3yr). The salivary amylase activity (sAMY) was analyzed during the inhalation of fragrance. Using questionnaire, subjective evaluation was conducted. aAMY was significantly lower during inhalation of fragrance than control. Inhalation of fragrance affected subjects' work performance. Our results indicated that the Japanese fragrances induced the effect in Japanese females, as assessed by both analysis of sAMY and work performance.

The aim of the present study was to determine the measurement dependence of the effects of color light and to clarify the correlation between physiological responses and subjective impression. Seventeen male university students without color vision deficiency were exposed to blue light and red light (200 lx at eye level) at night for three hours. The effects of blue light on pupil constriction and melatonin suppression were significantly greater than the effects of red light. On the other hand, heart rate tended to be higher under the red light condition. There was no significant difference between the effects of blue light and red light on rectal temperature or alertness. Individual variations in the subjective impression of light were correlated with heart rate and rectal temperature but not with melatonin concentration or pupil constriction. The results suggest that the physiological effects of light depend on measurements and that these variations may be influenced by subjective impression.

Modern humans dispersed into East Asia approximately 40K years ago and genetically adapted to unprecedentedenvironmental conditions. Signatures of local genetic adaptations, which are engraved in our genome, can bedetected using population genomics approaches. Human genome variation data have enabled a comprehensive searchfor genetic variants showing such signatures as well as for those associated with phenotypic variation. Although ourknowledge about local genetic adaptations has increased due to recent research efforts, little is known about whatselective pressures acted on the selected variants.

Several million years have passed since a subset of primates became humans. Because we spent more than 99.99% of our evolutionary history in natural environment, it is considered that we are essentially adaptive to nature. However, we live in a society characterized by urbanization and artificiality despite our physiological functions still being adapted to a natural environment. According to the concept of evidence-based medicine, we reviewed preventive medical effects of nature therapy, which comprised forest, park, wood, and flower therapy. We collected scientific data from field and laboratory experiments using physiological indicators. We expect nature therapy to play an increasingly important role in preventive medicine in the future.

The aims of this study were to extract the stress biomarkers from human hair samples and explore the optimalprocedure for this extraction. The investigation included a methodological variation related to the extraction time andpulverization method in the procedure for the determination of stress biomarkers. Consequently, the three stressbiomarkers, cortisol, testosterone, and dehydroepiandrosterone were successfully extracted from the hair sample.Moreover, the pulverization method had no impact on the determination procedure. Additionally, the extraction timesignificantly affected the amount of the target substances. An optimal procedure based on the results of this studywas proposed.

This study examined the mental and physiological responses to degree of comfort in using sanitary napkins. During menstrual period two types of napkins (thin type, thick type) were used by 8 women each. The indexes were 5 point scale, heart rate (HR), ratio of low frequency and high frequency (LF/HF) of heart rate variability and salivary chromogranin A (CgA). The results of 5 point scale (subjective evaluation) showed the thin type napkins were more comfortable than the thick type napkins. The results of LF/HF and CgA (physiological evaluation) indicated that sympathetic activities were lower in the thin type napkin users than in the thick type napkin users. From these results we concluded that using comfortable napkins have less mental and physiological stress.

The purposes of this study were to select the crude drugs of the medicated baths calendar for each of the twelve months of the year, and to clarify the physiological responses of this medicated baths. To ultimately establish a set of crude drugs for use in medicated baths, the history and make-up of medicated baths were researched and the characteristics of seasonal events were investigated. Next, characteristics of crude drugs particular to each Japanese season that would affect baths and formulation our bath drugs using readily accessible materials were sought. The result was an assortment of crude drugs specifically designed for effectiveness throughout the year. In experiments, skin temperatures, blood flow, and amounts of perspiration were monitored. The findings revealed that the medicated baths were highly effective in keeping the skin temperature high in that they caused a little decrease in mean skin temperature over a period of time and a longer period of perspiration in comparison to normal bath. These medicated baths were also found to increase the amound of blood flow and the secretion of nor adrenaline, making the drugs a notably more effective promoter of blood circulation than normal bath. The results proved the medicated baths to be beneficial, healthy bathing methods.

Visual stimulation-reaction time and subsequent strike time in the sport of kendo were assessed using electromyographic (EMG) reaction time. Fourteen male college students (kendo athletes (n=7), non-kendo athletes (n=7)) were asked to perform a kendo strikes in response to visual stimulation from a flashing light signal. The strikes employed, the Hiki-Men (HM) and Hiki-Kote (HK), were performed using a bamboo sword, or Shinai, using both of the upper limbs as quickly as possible. The EMG signals from the right (R) and left (L) biceps brachii, the R-, and L-triceps brachii, and R-flexor carpi ulnaris muscles were recorded simultaneously together with the elbow joint angle and hitting shock signals. Total task time (TTT), pre-motor time (PMT), motor time (MT), and action time (AT) were measured for the HM and HK tasks. The photo stimulation body reaction time (BRT) was also measured. Significant strong positive correlations were observed between PMT and TTT for both HM and HK tasks (p<0.01, r=0.93-0.94). Multiple regression analysis was used to determine the contribution of each component of the model in TTT. The standardized partial regression coefficient (β) was significant (P<0.01) for MT (β=0.36-0.38), AT (β=0.49-0.56) and was highest for PMT (β=0.79-0.80). The individual time ratio for PMT, MT and AT to TTT was approximately 50%, 20% and 30%, respectively. No significant correlations were observed between BRT and TTT for the HM and HK tasks (r=-0.02, 0.16). These results suggest that PMT is the most important component contributing to the TTT, and that BRT is not correlated to the TTT in kendo strikes.

In this study, we conducted interviews three times after the Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake Disaster, investigated some problems due to the environmental changes over time after moving into the Temporary Housing, and examined some mental changes in the sufferers. In sofware, friendship was deepened only inside the Temporary Housing, but was separated from the surrounding neighborhood. In hardware, sufferers scarcely felt the facilities improved. With the lapse of time, these problems decreased, but only one problem, "difficulties of household economy", became worse. About the feeling of satisfaction, their dissatisfaction decreased in general. However, with regard to differences of age, the younger generation felt more dissatisfaction than the older generation.
