According to the past results of Sports Test, it was found that the night part-time high school students showed the significantly lower performance in endurance run than the full-time high school students. This fact may be partly due to the fatigue and the lack of motives necessarily caused by their mental and physical works in day time. This study was attempted to determine their aerobic work capacities (PWC₁₇₀, Vo₂max) in the same experimental condition as used for the full-time high school students and simulteneously comparing them with those of the full-time high school students in the same district. The subjects were 59 male and 38 female, aged from 15 to 19 years.
The results obtained in this study were as follows
1) The mean values of PWC₁₇₀ (kpm/min) for boys increased slightly with increasing ages till 18 years. But girls showed almost same values through the ages. The maximal value were 910kpm/min at the age of 18 years for the boys and 617kpm/min for the girls aged 16 years respectively.
2) For boys the mean values of PWC₁₇₀ (kpm/kg/min) ranged from 14 to 15kpm/ kg/min and ranged from 10 to 11kpm/kg/min for girls.
3) As for the mean values of Vo₂max (l/min) of the boys increased slightly untill the age of 18 years. But girls were same in values through all the ages. The maximal values were 2.71/min at the 18 years for boys and 1.81/min for girls aged 15 years respectively.
4) For boys the mean values of Vo₂max (ml/kg/min) decreased slightly from 49.48 ml/kg/min with ages. The mean values of Vo₂ max (ml/kg/min) ranged from 34 to 35 ml/kg/min for girls.
5) The night part-time high school students were lower than the full-time high school students in PWC₁₇₀ (kpm/min), PWC₁₇₀ (kpm/kg/min), Vo₂max (l/min) and Vo₂max (ml/kg/min) for boys. For girls no significant differences were in these valiables after the age of 16 years.

Maximal oxygen uptakes of 85 preparatory school children (46 for males and 39 for females), aged 5 and 6 years, were determined by means of ground run. Their motor performances such as 25 meter dash run, 50 meter dash run, standing broad jump, 5 minute endurance run and muscle strengths of grip and back were also measured. The following results were obtained:
1) Mean values of maximal oxygen uptakes in terms of body weights were 49.46ml/ kg/min for males and 46.30ml/kg/min for females and the significant difference was found between the sexes.
2) Correlation coefficients between the first and second measurements in the 5 minute endurance run were .9044 for males and .7757 for females, and therefore the reproducibi-lity was higher for males than for females.
3) Correlation coefficients between maximal oxygen uptakes in terms of body weights and the performances of 5 minute endurance run were .4170 for males and .0486 for females.
4) Correlation coefficients between body weights and absolute values of maximal oxygen uptakes were .8986 for males and .5626 for females.
5) Regression equations of absolute values of maximal oxygen uptakes (1/min) to body weights (kg) were y=.051x-.025 for males and y =.024x+.408 for females.

Study on the sites of nerve entrance in innervation of skeletal muscles is important in the field of anatomy, histology, physiology and pathology, and since 19 th century, many researchers have been engaged in the macroscopical investigations on nerve entrance of muscles. However, their results were not always precise, because they seemed to employ macroscopical methods without measuring a length of muscles and a distance between origin and insertion of various muscles in thigh
In this paper, first, the muscle length was determined by measuring the distance between origin and insertion directly (designated here as“direct method”) or by measuring the length of muscles along their course (designated here as“indirect method”) by scale. Concomitantly, the number and diameter of major innervated nerves of each muscle were also examined. Next, the distance between nerve entrance and the origin of 9 thigh muscles were carefully measured. The difference of the values obtained referring to sex and age was also surveyed. Adding to it, the correlation between the sites of nerve entrance and that of muscle belly was also studied. The details of respite were ae fn11imr
1) The values of muscle length obtained from direct and indirect methods were compared in paying attention to each belly of muscles. 10 specimens in M, sartorius and M, rectus femoris were used for it. The difference of values between direct and indirect methods was negligible, that is, only 1 to 2.5% difference are there respectively.
2) The number of major nerve entering into each muscle were one or two. The number of major nerves and their diameter (parenthesized) of 21 specimens were as follow; one (1.6 mm) for M, sartorius, two (1.6 mm) for M. rectus femoris, two (2.4 mm) for M, vastus medialis and M. vastus lateralis, one (1.8 mm) for M, gracilis, one (1.7 mm) for M. adductor longus, two (2.4 mm) for M, biceps femoris (caput longum), two (2.5 mm) for M, semitendinosus and two (2.6 mm) for M, semimembranosus.
3) Using 41 specimens, the sites of nerve entrance where one or two major nerves were entered into thigh muscles were measured with the indirect methods. The sites of nerve entrance were indicated with the ratio calculated from the formula described in Result-C. Their sites were 21.4% from the origin for M, sartorius, 14.9% and 25.5% for M. rectus femoris, 22.6% and 39.3% for M. vastus medialis, 17.0% and 35.1% for M, vastus lateralis, 22.3% for M, gracilis, 44.7% for M, adductor longus, 22.1% and 38.6% for M. biceps femoris (caput longum), 15.5% and 43.0% for M. semitendinosus, and 46.7% and 61.7% for M, semimembranosus. However, the difference in the sites of nerve entrance related to sex and age was hardly in those specimens.
4) The difference between the sites of nerve entrance (either one or two) and muscle belly was evident in M, vastus medialis and M, adductor longus. The values of deviation in M. vastus medialis and M. adductor longus stood about at 20%. The difference of the other muscles (M. sartorius, M, rectus femoris, M, vastus lateralis, M, gracilis, M, biceps femoris; caput longum, M, semitendinosus, M, semimembranosus) stood at 3 to 7%.
5) Some discussions were devoted to the relationship of sites between nerve entrance in anatomy and motor point in kinesiology.

Extremely few studies have been published on the site of belly of thigh muscles. In our studies, 41 specimens (from 27 male and 14 female subjects) for anatomical investigation were used to examine the site of belly, which had often been employed for surface electromyogram. Not to say, “the belly of muscle” means the site showing the maximal value of circumference of each muscle.
The results were as follows.
1) Using nine thigh muscles, the full length of each muscle and the distance from the origin to the belly were directly measured at the first steps in the present study. Ratio of the distance from the origin to the full length was calculated. The ratio, as the average of all subjects, was 24.4% for M. sartorius, 30.8% for M. rectus femoris, 59.2% for M, vastus medialis, and 32.8% for M. vastus lateralis in the frontal aspect of thigh; 15.2% for M. gracilis, 67.9% for M. adductor longus in the inner aspect of thigh; and 44.1% for M. biceps femoris (caput longum), 29.3% for M. semitendinosus, and 65.5% for M, semimembranosus in the posterior aspect of thigh. However, no significant difference was found between the sex as well as age in the value of ratio.
2) Secondarily, “the cross section method” in this paper was used to evaluate the site of belly and measure the size of cross sections of M. sartorius and M, rectus femoris. The values were obtained from 3 specimens. The belly of M. sartorius was found at the site of 29% from the origin and that of M. rectus femoris was at 33%. The size of each cross sections was 1.3cm² and 3.5cm² respectively.
3) In addition, computed tomography was employed for 5 male adults to find the site of belly of M, sartorius and M. rectus femoris. The results were compared with those of specimens mentioned in 2) . The findings from the computed tomography showed the belly at the site of 25-29% from the origin for M, sartorius and 29-33% for M. rectus femoris. The size of cross sections of each muscle measured 2.9cm² and 11.4cm² respectively. These sites were confirmed to be coincided with those of anatomical specimens.
4) It can be, therefore, concluded that the values obtained from the direct method are applicable to those of living persons.
