随着日本等发达国家的少子化现象日益严重，育儿一代积极建议父亲也照顾孩子。这样的男人在日本被称为“ikumen”。然而，每天在家照顾孩子肯定会给他们的日常生活带来负担，因为这些男人在外面工作，他们通常在工作日、甚至有时在周末和假期工作时间很长，尤其是在日本。如果可以实时定量测量儿童保育的体力活动量负担，那么它可能会利用工业工程概念来改善（Kaizen）儿童保育工作。此外，通过这种活动的定量测量和分析，可以对支持 ikumen 的儿童保育服务进行创新。本研究利用实时三轴加速度计测量大体力运动量的ikumen活动作为日常生活的生活日志，分析育儿期间体力活动量的特征和趋势，并讨论利用工业工程概念支持ikumen。首先，三轴加速度计（OMRON HEALTHCARE）（Oshima，2011）安装在 ikumen 和非 ikumen 上，并长时间记录它们的生活日志。接下来，利用积累的生活日志，从体力活动量的角度分析育儿对身体的影响。最后，基于测量和分析，讨论了用工业工程概念支持 ikumen 的结果。
As the birthrate decline becomes increasingly serious in Japan and other developed countries, the childrearing generation is actively suggesting that fathers also take care of their children. Such men are called “ikumen” in Japan. However, daily childcare in the home certainly puts a burden on their daily lives since these men have jobs outside of the home where they often have long work hours during the weekdays and even sometimes on the weekend and during holidays, especially in Japan. If the physical activity quantity burden can be measured quantitatively in realtime for childcare, then it might improve (Kaizen) childcare work using industrial engineering concepts. Additionally, the childcare services for supporting a ikumen might be innovated with this quantitative measurement and analysis of activities. This research measures ikumen activities using large physical exercise quantity with a real-time triaxial accelerometer as a life log of a daily life, analyzes the characteristics and trends of the quantity of physical activity during childcare, and discusses supporting ikumen using industrial engineering concepts. First, the triaxial accelerometer (OMRON HEALTHCARE)(Oshima, 2011) is attached to ikumen and non-ikumen, and their life logs are recorded for an extended period of time. Next, using the accumulated life logs, how childcare affects the body from the perspective of the quantity of physical activity is analyzed. Finally, based on the measurements and analysis, the results for supporting ikumen with industrial engineering concepts are discussed.
