This paper reports an examination of actual situations regarding various aspects of modern physical education imported from the United States to Japan. Focus is placed on the Congregationalist denomination based on historical records kept in Japan and the U.S. The study revealed that the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions（ABCFM）initially planned to popularize physical education in Japan as part of its missionary efforts during work to propagate Christianity there. It was also found that Amherst College （ an institution established with strong support from Congregationalists that dispatched Dr. George Adams Leland to Japan）had enormous personal, educational and ideological impacts on the introduction of physical education in the country. The study outcomes further revealed that the U.S. Government had long shown an interest in the future of the Amherst Plan for physical education in Japan even after Dr. Leland returned to the U.S.

本文对近代体育从美国传入日本的各个方面的实际情况进行了考察。根据日本和美国的历史记录，重点放在公理会教派上。研究显示，美国外交使团委员会（ABCFM）最初计划在日本普及体育，作为在日本宣传基督教的传教工作的一部分。人们还发现，阿默斯特学院（一个机构成立的大力支持公理派派遣博士乔治亚当斯利兰到日本）有巨大的个人，教育和意识形态的影响，引进体育在该国。研究结果进一步表明，即使在利兰博士返回美国之后，美国政府也长期对阿默斯特体育教育计划在日本的未来表现出兴趣。
