Abstract

Physical activity has been effective in enhancing quality of life and physical fitness of older adults over relatively short periods of time. However, little is known about the Yoga-based exercise program on physiological changes and physical fitness with psychological variables in elderly women. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of Yoga- based exercise program on physiological, psychological factors and physical fitness in elderly women. Forty-four elders were recruited from the public health center. They were divided into exercise training group(n=22) and control group(n=22). The training group participating in 10 weeks of Yoga-based exercise program. Data was analyzed with descriptive statistics, the chi-square test, Fisher's Extract test, and ANCOVA to evaluate body fat, spine ROM, blood pressure, cholesterol, depression, life satisfaction, ADL and physical fitness. There was a significant improvement in blood pressure, total cholesterol, precent of body fat, physiological function, depression, life satisfaction, ADL and physical fitness in the exercise training group than that of the control group. From the results, Yoga-based interventions designed to improve various variables were equally acceptable to elderly women.

본 연구는 평소 신체활동이 부족한 여성 노인들에게 스트레칭을 포함하는 요가운동 및 레크리에이션이 여성노인의 심리적 변화, 생리적 변화 및 운동능력에 미치는 영향을 밝히고자 수행되었다. 본 연구의 결과로 규칙적인 요가 운동이 체지방, 혈압, 콜레스테롤 등을 감소시키고, 우울증의 감소와 더불어 삶의 만족도와 일상 생활도를 증가시키며, 협응성, 민첩성, 평형성 등을 포함하는 체력을 증가 시켰다. 이러한 실험결과를 바탕으로 여성노인들에 대한 과학적인 운동치료에 관한 연구가 시급히 이루어져야 할 것으로 여겨진다.
