Abstract
The present study examined the relation between Aerobic Capacity and Motor Abilities, and their regional characteristics. A motor performance test was administered to 206 (56 persons in 2002, 66 in 2003 and 84 in 2004) dwellers in Kasari town, Amami island. The test consisted of measurement of grip strength, sitting trunk flexion, one-leg standing, walking at maximum speeds, aerobic capacity (Physical Work Capacity, Breath Holding Time After Exercise, Vital Capacity). The results indicated that all aerobic capacities do not deteriorate with aging. Significant correlations between motor performances were detected in breath holding time after exercise and sitting trunk flexion, vital capacity and walking at maximum speeds. Breath holding time after exercise and vital capacity were smaller than those of two rural communities, and the national averages.<br>
