This paper reports an examination of actual situations regarding various aspects of modern physical education imported from the United States to Japan. Focus is placed on the Congregationalist denomination based on historical records kept in Japan and the U.S. The study revealed that the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions（ABCFM）initially planned to popularize physical education in Japan as part of its missionary efforts during work to propagate Christianity there. It was also found that Amherst College （ an institution established with strong support from Congregationalists that dispatched Dr. George Adams Leland to Japan）had enormous personal, educational and ideological impacts on the introduction of physical education in the country. The study outcomes further revealed that the U.S. Government had long shown an interest in the future of the Amherst Plan for physical education in Japan even after Dr. Leland returned to the U.S.

本文根据日本和美国的历史记录，对从美国传入日本的现代体育教育的各个方面的实际情况进行了考察，重点放在公理会教派上。外国传教会（ABCFM）最初计划在日本普及体育教育，作为其在日本传播基督教的传教工作的一部分。研究结果进一步表明，美国政府长期以来对阿默斯特体育计划的未来表现出兴趣。利兰博士回到美国后仍继续在日本接受教育
