Dr. Otsuka Mitsuo is Assistant Professor in Faculty of Sport and Health Science of Ritsumeikan University, and his research manuscript was accepted and published in Biomedical Human Kinetics, which collaborated with Professor Satoshi Otomo, Professor Tadao Isaka, Toshiyuki Kurihara, and Chihiro Akutsu in Ikeshima Junior high school. In this study on hurdle running in physical education, a teaching materials to help improve junior high school students’ fundamental ability to repeatedly run and jump with a high and far-reaching travelling motion was developed.  It has been suggested that the new teaching material for teaching hurdling in physical education which aims to improve the ability to jump high and far over hurdles improves hurdle running time and improves the fundamental ability to repeat running and jumping travelling motor skills in contrast to traditional materials.
