The present study investigated the life habits and level of sports activity of children in the Chikuho region. The results showed that approximately 50% of boys and 30% of girls participate in some after-school sports activities. Thus, about 50% of boys and 70% of girls do not participate in after-school sports activities. Children who play sports spend an average of 2.6±5.4 hours a week playing sports. Various life habits were compared between the children who play sports and those who do not. When compared to boys who play sports, those who do not play sports tended to not wash their faces in the morning, have irregular bowel movements, be younger, not have breakfast, not have a snack before dinner, and spend more time watching TV at night. When compared to girls who play sports, those who do not play sports tended to spend more time playing videogames at night, and were less likely to brush their teeth at night.
