Fierce Heat and Players’ Health: Examining the View on Japan High School Baseball
A summer high school baseball tournament is held every mid-summer in Koshien Stadium. “Koshien Baseball” is very popular in Japan; however, it faces the problem of extremely high temperatures during games. Thus, high school players are threatened by harsh environmental conditions. For this reason, two Internet surveys were distributed to the same individuals. Then, their views regarding the Koshien tournament before and after the provision of information regarding environmental change in Japan were gathered. Using these data, this study examined how their views changed after being introduced to the information. Compared with their previous views, it was found that (1) respondents were more likely to agree that the management rules of the Koshien tournament should be altered to protect players’ health, and (2) the impact of providing information is greater for female respondents, young respondents, and highly educated respondents. This study provides evidence that the effect of information provision varies according to gender, age, and educational background. However, the mechanism causing this difference has not yet been analyzed. It would be valuable to consider this mechanism in future research.
