Few exploratory ventures would ever be undertaken if the explorer appreciated his own limitations at the outset. Although his ultimate destination is unclear, the route uncertain, the terrain unfamiliar and the tools inadequate he is spurred initially by a self-assurance born of his own limited knowledge. Unfortunately, that same self-assurance ill-equips him for the difficulties which he inevitably has to face en route. This thesis has been no exception to this pattern. It has involved more than its fair share of blind alleys, false trails, disorientation, retracing of footsteps and re-establishment of bearings. It has occasionally been marked by that feeling of despairing bewilderment which confronts the uncertain traveller lost in unfamiliar territory or overwhelmed by the novelty and complexity of his surroundings. Like most exploratory journeys, it has been difficult to decide when the ultimate destination has been reached and almost impossible in restrospect to recall the exact route by which that particular point was achieved. However, the historian of Dahomey is fortunate in comparison with the explorer venturing into virgin territory. For he is well served by the pioneers who have blazed the trail before him and by the signposts which are available to him. The Kingdom of Dahomey has been well covered by primary source material and contemporary documentation and publications.

The main objective of this study was to compare the daily physical activities of secondary school students living in South- West Benin Republic, depending on whether they live in rural, suburban or urban areas. An investigation through a written and self-administered questionnaire was carried out from April to June 2004 on 678 students made up of 467 boys and 211 girls, aged 13 to 23 years old, regarding their movement modes, physical sports practices and other utilitarian activities. The data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results showed that the percentages of students who go on foot or ride bicycles for long distances or a long time duration, and those who participate in physical training as well as practice utilitarian activities on weekly basis respectively, are far higher for students in the rural locations than for students in the other two locations, that is, suburban and urban areas. On the whole the highest proportion of students who engage in physical activities consisting of riding bicycles, traveling on foot, doing physical sports and utilitarian activities are found among students living in rural areas, followed by students in suburban and urban locations. These results are discusses in terms of their relationships with atherogenous risk factors.
