The effects of driving to office on the physical working capacity, leg extension strength and vertical jump was examined by multiple regression analysis. The subjects were 29 male staffs in an university. PWC, leg strength and vertical jump were estimated by the independent variables of the means of getting to office, daily exercise, age and physical stature.
　Driving to office was found to have a slightly negative effect on PWC and leg strength and to have no relation with vertical jump. Those taking strenuous exercise habitually were superior in physical capacity tested in this study. It seems that the intensity, of walking or cycling on the way to office may not be enough to improve the physical performance but the activity must take a preventive effect on the decline of physical performance due to aging.
