Abstract
A study was carried out to investigate the effect of long-term practice of “Rei-ho” (: way of courtesy) on psychological characteristics in Junior High School students. Official and orthodox manners of “sei-za” (: way of sitting on the floor-Japanese style), “moku-so”(: meditation), “ritsu-rei” (: bow performed while standing), “za-rei” (: bow from “sei-za”) and “son-kyo” (: squatting posture at the beginning of a Kendo match or practice) were included during the period of “Rei-ho” practice to learn mental toughness and the spirit of Kendo. The level of anxiety and psychological competitive ability during the year, estimated using the “State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-Form” and “Diagnostic Inventory of Psychological Competitive Ability for Athletes”test, were compared between the “Rei-ho” practice group and a control group.Results: 1) The level of anxiety after the practice period (6 months) was significantly lower in the “Rei-ho”practice group than in the control group.2) After the practice period, measurement of psychological competitive abilities indicated concentration and relaxation capacity in the “Rei-ho” practice group were maintained more than in the control group.These results suggest that the active practice of “Rei-ho ” closely influences the level of anxiety and psychological competitive ability.
