As a result of cluster analysis of four status variables (occupational prestige, academic career, annual income and life style), 815 sample cases were divided into six stratificational clusters. These were the upper and the lower stratum in Japan, and four middle strata having various status patterns. The results were summarized as follows; 1. There were not stratificational differences in adults participated in gymnastics and simple ball games of men and dance of women. 2. But, at various sports using facilities, outdoor sports and athletic sports, the participation ratio of the upper and its starting stratum was very high, and that of the lower was extremely low.
