體力에 관한 管理史的 小考 : 韓美日蘇를 中心으로

Abstract

The prosperity of a country depends on the power of the combination of the people who compose the nation. In order to improve such a power, we should cultivate the physical fitness as well as intelligence. When the people are in excellent physical condition, work efficiency and productivity will be improved. It will become a motiviating factor in economic development, and increase the power of national defense. Each nation has devised a plan for the improvement of the physical :fitness of its people: and has been putting that plan into practice. This paper is an historical study of the physical fitness administration concerning Che-Ryuk-Jang (Record of Physical Fitness), a remarkable one among the plans for the: improvement of physical :fitness. I came to the conclusion that Che-Ryok-Jang has contributed much to the improvement of physical fitness and the increase of the number of sports fans. It is my suggestion that we should thoroughly carry this system into effect and expand it to include the general public.
