The effects of intervention on the To-balance and Sitting
groups were evaluated by conducting somatometric and
physical fitness measurements, and a questionnaire survey
for mental function 4 times: before, and 3, 6, and 9 months
after the initiation of intervention. During the final 3-month
period, group exercise was not performed by either group to examine the negative influence of withdrawal from it on the
subject’s mental and physical functions.
