초록
본 연구의 목적은 넘어짐 예방 운동이 여성노인의 체력, 자세, 낙상효능감에 미치는 영향을 규명하는 것이다. 연구 대상은 65세 이상의 여성노인 30명을 대상으로 하였으며, 그 중 14명은 운동집단, 16명은 비교 집단으로 하였다. 넘어짐 예방운동 프로그램은 탄성밴드를 이용한 다방향 근력 근지구력, 파워 운동, 자세 정렬 운동과 한국무용 동작을 접목한 다방향 동적균형, 협응력 운동으로 구분하였고 총 12주간, 주 2회, 각 60분으로 진행하였다. 운동 프로그램 전후의 체력, 자세, 낙상 효능감을 측정하여 비교하였다. 연구 결과 운동 집단은 악력을 제외한 근지구력, 심폐지구력, 유연성, 평형성, 협응력에서 유의하게 증가하였고, 자세는 상체 기울기를 제외한 어깨 기울기, 견갑골 기울기, 골반 기울기, 종골각 기울기, 다리길이 차이가 유의하게 감소하였다. 낙상 효능감 점수는 운동 집단에서는 증가하고 비교 집단에서 감소하였으나, 모두 통계적으로 유의하지는 않았다. 그러므로 넘어짐 예방운동은 체력 향상과 자세교정에 효과적이라는 결론을 내릴 수 있다. 그러나 악력(근력)을 증가하는 것과 상체기울기를 교정하는 운동프로그램의 보완이 필요하다.
The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of exercise program for prevention of falling on physical fitness, posture and fall prevention self-efficacy for elderly women. 30 females above the age of 65 were subjects for this study. Over an twelve week period, 14women in the experimental group performed exercise 2 times a week for 60 minutes per session. 16women in the control group didn't participate in the exercise program. The independent variable was a exercise program for prevention of falling. Dependent variables were physical fitness, posture and fall prevention self-efficacy. Prevention of falling exercise program is consisted of an elastic band using exercise and Korean dance movement exercise. Physical fitness consisted of grip strength, upper and lower body endurance, cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, balance, coordination. The posture was measured the static posture when standing, using a high-resolution camera, body style to automatically measure the distance and angle(M-zen, Korea). Posture was measured in both the coronal and sagittal plane via reference board. Fall prevention self-efficacy was measured via questionnaire using the Korea Falls Self-Efficacy Scale (FES-K). The physical fitness, posture and fall prevention self-efficacy were measured twice with pre and post exercise, and the difference between groups with Wilcox signed rank test, and the group-specific post verification was carried out with U-validated methods (Mann Whitney U test). Statistical significance level was verified by setting the p<.05. Lower body endurance, cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, balance and coordination significantly increased in the experimental group. The control group was no significant increase in physical fitness variables. shoulder slope angle, pelvic slope angle(coronal/sagittal), leg length difference, scapular inferior angle and left/right calcaneus angle significantly decreased in the experimental group. Both the experimental group and control group were no significant increase in fall prevention self efficacy. The prevention of falling exercise program for elderly women indicated the positive changes in physical fitness(except grip strength) and posture(except upper body slope). However, there are no significant differences of falling prevention self-efficacy between the both group. Thus, the prevention of falling exercise program for the elderly has been proved that it is highly efficient on improving physical fitness and posture proofreading. However, we still need to consider supplement exercise for grip strength and upper body slope.
