Popis:	Human physique and physical fitness might be influenced by genetic factors as well as environment and life style such as diets, exercising habit, etc. especially during growing periods. Comparing Japanese in Japan with people of Japanese parentage who were born and grew up in foreign countries may be a useful method of studying this problem. The major countries where a large number of people of Japanese descent live are the U.S.A. and Brazil, but to go to those countries to conduct an investigation is not convenient. Recently, there are many 2nd and 3rd generation Japanese-Brazilians who live in Japan and work for Japanese manufacturing companies. In this study, these Japanese-Brazilians were used as the subjects, and their physique and physical fitness were tested and measured to compare the data with the existing data for Japanese. The statistical result showed that in most of the testing and measuring items Japanese scored higher both in physique and in physical fitness than Japanese-Brazilians.
