I am happy to announce that the Japan Society of Physical Education,
Health and Sport Sciences will publish an academic journal for readers
all over the world. While it is still too early to discuss its potential
positive impact, I am hopeful that it will become an incubator of knowledge
and information. We are in need of international coorperation and assistance
in our new endeavour.
As you are well aware, border-sharing measures are needed to deal with
sport- and health-related problems such as AIDS transmission and the
population explosion. Issues must be dealt with before appropriate world
population is achieved. Food is yet another serious issue. Some populations
suffer from overeating, corpulance and lack of exercise, while others
are plagued with starvation and poverty. You may say that these are
not directly related to sports, but they are life-threatening problems
related directly to health, which affects education and sports. We are
living in an age when it is necessary to regard ourselves as global
citizens in our effort to further our study, which is part of the reason
why we are issuing this new magazine for international circulation.
An internationally circluated magazine is capable of making readers
aware of international issues. This awareness will hopefully promote
the sharing of issues and the accumulation of information for the implementation
of feasible solutions for these issues. The understanding of the individuality
and uniqueness of cultures is another possible good effect of such a
magazine, since we should strive for mutual understanding of our similarities
as well as differences. Your understanding and cooperation toward our
new endeavor would be highly appreciated. Japan Society of Physical Education, Health and Sport Sciences
