In this study, we aimed to clarify the preschoolers' physical activities in nursery schools, and examined which factors of life circumstances would affect the preschooler's health and lifestyle by survey of their life habits. The subjects were 93 older (6 years old) male and female preschoolers of K nursery school in Tokyo and Y nursery school in a mountainous area of Yamaguchi Prefecture, and their guardians. The preschoolers' heart rates were measured by heart rate monitors and the number of steps and the distance walked during their time in the nursery schools were measured by pedometers, in the summer and fall. The guardians answered questionnaires concerning the life habits of the preschoolers. The preschoolers of Y nursery school showed higher levels of heart rates and steps than the preschoolers of K nursery school in both seasons. For the average heart rate, Y nursery school had significantly higher values (p<0.001) than K nursery school in both seasons. These phenomena are considered to be due to the differences between the schools in their educational content and in the area of the premises. The average wake-up time of Y nursery school children was significantly earlier (p<0.001) than K nursery school, and the average bedtime of K nursery school children was significantly later (p<0.01) than Y nursery school. The average sleeping period of Y nursery school children was significantly longer (p<0.001) than K nursery school. These results suggest that the preschool located in the city area is characterized by habits such as a short sleeping period and a late wake-up time and bedtime, and the preschool located in the mountain area is characterized by a longer sleeping period and an early wake-up time and bedtime. However, the location of playing spaces did not show significant difference by area, probably because of the similarity of social backgrounds, including TV games, rather than environmental factors.Considering the health of preschoolers, emphasis on physical activities by playing outside and ensuring sufficient sleep are important factors.
