collaborating with Tanita Co., Ltd. to measure activity levels through tree activities. We will hold a collaborative event that will lead to healthy behavior. Use play as an opportunity to improve your health Due to the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, people are becoming more health conscious and are becoming more interested in exercise, but the percentage of people who feel they lack exercise is 77.9%, including those who say they feel a lot and feel a certain amount (Sports Agency). (2024) FY2020 “Public opinion survey on the implementation status of sports, etc.”). This year in particular, the intense heat has restricted outdoor play, and many parents are worried about the health of their children who are stuck at home.

We often hear people say, “It’s been a while since I last moved,” or “My muscles will be sore tomorrow,” but very few people are aware of how much energy they actually expended during their activities. Therefore, by measuring the amount of activity, we wanted to use this “play” as an opportunity to improve your health. Measurement results with Tanita’s activity meter When we measured the amount of activity of eight men and women in their 20s to 50s during tree activities using Tanita’s activity meter, we found that the amount of activity was about the same as playing for an hour and jogging for about 30 minutes. I did*. By visualizing the amount of activity, we were able to verify that treetop activities are not only fun, but also effective as a full-body exercise that uses muscles that are rarely used in daily life. Furthermore, since treetop activities involve high exercise intensity, we believe it is a great opportunity to maintain and strengthen muscles. (*: Due to the characteristics of the device, the activity meter cannot accurately grasp all movements of tree activities.) Tanita and Forest Adventure’s first collaboration event At the event, participants will take measurements using Tanita’s two-handed body composition meter, and then participate in treetop activities while using an activity meter. We will also introduce tips and tricks for activities that can increase your exercise load. After the event, participants will be provided with the results of the amount of activity consumed during the activity, as well as Tanita’s guideline for the amount of activity that can be consumed in daily life and exercise, as well as nutritional information on how to link exercise to strengthening muscles.

We hope that by measuring and visualizing the state of the body and exercise, this play will lead to healthy behaviors such as exercise and awareness of healthy eating in daily life.

In 2006, we opened Japan’s first forest adventure, Forest Adventure Fuji, at the foot of Mt. Fuji, by forming a business alliance with France’s Altas, which has the concept that “having fun in the forest solves forest problems.” Currently, we are developing unique parks tailored to the local forests in more than 40 locations across the country.
