여성 노인의 노르딕워킹 운동 프로그램이 기초체력 및 관절기능 개선에 미치는 영향 = Effects of Nordic Walking Exercise Program on Improvement of Basic Physical Fitness and Joint Function in Elderly Women

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of an 8-week Nordic walking exercise program on the improvement of basic physical strength and joint function in elderly women, to confirm the positive effect of Nordic walking on the health of elderly women, and to provide basic data that can contribute to prevention of decreased physical strength and joint function due to aging.
Methods: The subjects of the study were 28 elderly females aged 65 years or older. The experimental group was 12 people who performed Nordic walking, and the control group was 16 people who were classified as a group that did not provide an exercise program. The measurement items were grip strength, flexibility, lower limb muscle function, balance and coordination, and the WOMAC, an arthritis index, was analyzed through a questionnaire survey. Statistical analysis was performed by two-way repeated measures analysis of variance, and post hoc verification was performed by independent t-test.
Results: As a result of this study, in the experimental group, there were significant changes compared to the control group in the left grip strength, sitting forward bending, sitting and standing up from a chair, and 3-meter target projection, which correspond to the remaining variables except right hand grip strength and figure-eight walking (p <.05], and there was a significant change in the WOMAC index (p<.05).
Conclusion: These results show that Nordic walking can significantly improve basic physical strength and functional abilities of joints in elderly women, suggesting that Nordic walking can be used as an effective method to improve functional abilities in elderly women.
