A STUDY ON THE TRENDS IN HEALTH AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION RESEARCHES BY THE EDMARS-DATABASE

利用EDMARS数据库对日本健康与体育研究的动态进行了调查。在分析趋势之前，根据健康和体育主题词表（Y.Furuta，1990），在每一个健康和体育参考文献中注册了一些描述符。日本健康和体育教育领域重要研究杂志上的参考文献已被登记在EDMARS数据库中，该数据库分为12个研究领域（体育原理，体育史，体育社会学，体育心理学，运动生理学，生物力学，体育管理，生长发育，测量与评价，体育教学法、体育课程、健康）。研究结果如下：1.在12个学科领域中，体育学、健康学、运动生理学、社会学和方法学的课程参考文献较多，体育学原理和体育学史的课程参考文献较少.对各学科领域的描述符进行了特征识别，表明本研究的分析方法可用于健康与体育研究动态的调查，今后有必要对各描述符之间进行矩阵分析，以进行详细研究。

The trends of health and physical education researches in Japan were investigated by using the EDMARS-DATABASE. Before the analysis of the trends, some descriptors were registered in each reference of health and physical education according to the health and physical education thesaurus(Y.Furuta, 1990). The references printed in important research magazines in health and physical education in Japan have been registered in the EDMARS-DATABASE, and this database were categorized in 12 fields of study( principles of physical education, history in physical education, sociology of physical education, psyhcology of physical education, exercise physiology, biomechanics, management of physical education, growth and development, measurement and evaluation, methodology of physical education, curriculum in physical education, health). The results of the investigation are summarized as follow;1. There were more references in curriculum in physical education, health, exercise physiology, sociology and methodology out of 12 fields of study, on the other hand, there were less references in principles and history of physical education.2. The descriptors in each field of study were recognized characteristically, and it was indicated that the analysis method in this study was available for the investigation on trends in health and physical education reseaches.In future, it may be thought that the matrix-analysis between every descriptors is necessary to study in detail.
