Nearly two decades have already passed since all colleges and universities in Japan adopted health and physical education including activities and lectures as required subjects in the general education course. During these years, a number of studies on required health and physical education have been made, in which there were several studies on attitudes of students toward these subjects. Conference on College Health and Physical Education reported that 69 percent of 3,124 students of 4 universities in Tokyo and 93 percent of 1,605 students of 8 colleges in Tokai District supported physical activities as required subject. The author reported that 92 percent of 643 freshmen at Kyushu University supported physical activities as a required subject. Tokunaga used Wear Attitude Inventory on 594 students attending the general education course at Kyushu University and reported a mean scrod of 148.7. Thereafter he and his do-workers gave the same instrument to 1,784 student of 8 colleges in Kyushu District and obtained a similar high score. 0n the contrary, the results of the all studies on the attitudes of students toward required lecture (theory of health and physical education) were found rather unfavorable. About 40 percent of above-mentioned students in Tokai District opposed to lectures as required subjects. The author reported that 53 percent of above-mentioned students opposed to requited physical education lecture while 42 percent of those opposed to required health education lecture. Now, in order to conduct good health and physical education program, it is necessary to know not only the attitudes toward required health and phydical education of students but also the structure of factors that contribute to the formation of these attitudes. However, this aspect has rarely been touched upon in Japan except our report in which we stated that the relation between the attitudes toward required health and physical education of students and the attitudes toward sports, sports clubs, general education was significant. This study aimed at finding factors to determine the attitudes of college students toward required health and physical education.
