스트레칭 운동과 유산소 운동이 여성고령자의 건강체력에 미치는 영향 = The Effects of Stretching, Calisthenics and Aerobic Exercise on Health-related Physical Fitness in Female Older Adult

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of health-related physical fitness in female older adult after 12-week exercise training program. One hundred twenty female older adults(68.5±3.5 years) with hypertension, diabetes, and obesity participated in this study. The exercise training program consited of on a treadmill walking, cycle ergometer, and step climbing at intensity of 60-65％ VO₂max, Subjects trained for at 12 weeks, three times per week. The average training duration was 90 minutes(30 minutes of stretching ＆ calisthenics+60 minutes of aerobic exercise). The main conclusion was drawn by as follows.
1. The exercise training program induced a significant increase(p＜.05) in VO₂max. The VO₂max increased from 22.4±2.9㎖/㎏/min to 26.3±3.6㎖/㎏/min(17.4％ ↑) after 12 weeks exercise training
2. The right knee flexion peak torque was not significantly different, but the left knee flexion peak torque was significantly different(p＜.05). The left knee flexion peak torque was increased from 30.0±7.5Nm to 35.5±10.9Nm after 12 weeks exercise training. The right knee flexion peak torque per ％body weight was significantly different(p＜.05). But the left knee flexion peak torque per ％body weight was not significantly different.
The right knee extenion peak torque was significantly different. Also, the left knee extension peak torque was significantly different(p＜.05). The right knee extension peak torque per ％body weight was significantly different(p＜.05). And the left knee extension peak torque per ％body weight was significantly different(p＜.05).
3. The body weight was reduced 1.4kg after aerobic exercise, But was not a significant difference. The waist to hip ratio to test abdominal obesity was significantly different(p＜.05) from the 12 weeks exercise training program. And ％body fat was significantly different (p＜.05).
4. The Sit ＆ Reach Test induced a significant difference(p＜.05) from the 12 weeks exercise training program. The increase rate of flexibility was from 8.5±6.2㎝ to 16.3±4.8㎝ (91.7％ ↑).
