Abstract

We introduced the physiological responses of aging, active aging and also suggest the impact of physical exercise on body health status and elderly immunity. In this purpose, we searched the Pub Med data base for the articles (include our experimental papers) and review papers having the terms 'Aging', 'Active aging' and 'Physical activity and elderly' in the title, published from 1999 until 2018. The results were as follows: Exercise training has been extensively studied about the reduction of inflammation, oxidative stress, disease, and aging in syndrome X patients and elderly. Combined and aerobic or resistance exercise training could reduce obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and hypertension. Exercise training has been extensively studied in cancer settings as part of prevention or treatment strategies. From this research, regular exercise has the potential to target tumor growth through regulation of inflammation and immune responses such as lactate clearance, NK cell activation (innate immunity), activation of cytotoxic immune cells, T cell activation (adaptive immunity), and immune surveillance. However, Endurance physical activity not only induces thermogenesis and diverse sports injuries but also elicits mobilization and functional enhancement of monocytes, neutrophils (which is caused by the cytokine changes such as TNF-alpha, IL-1) whereas it suppresses cell mediated immunity causing to increased susceptibility to inflammation and infections like cough and URTIs (upper respiratory track infections) in young and especially in elderly people. Therefore, Strategies to prevent physical fatigue, sports injuries include avoid overtraining, Adequate recovery and various type of rest during and after physical activity and assuring adequate nutrition supplementation such as glutamine, vitamin B, vitamin C, carbohydrate, ion or berry-contain sports beverages is helpful in physically active elderly.

최근 의공학과 의학기술의 발달로 인간의 수명이 늘어나고 있으며, 이제는 수명에 대한 관심보다는 건강한 노후에 대한 관심에 초점을 맞추어 항노화 산업과 의과학 및 스포츠 과학이 발달하고 있다. 노화의 자연스런운 과정동안 노인들은 면역기능과 생리학적인 기능이 소실되고, 제2형 당뇨병, 고혈압, 골다공증, 골관절염, 심혈관 질환 및 인지감소 등을 경험하게 된다 하지만 규칙적인 운동을 참여할 때 건강한 노후를 맞이할 수 있다. 하지만 이제까지 노인들에게 규칙적인 운동활동의 참여가 건강체력, 정신건강, 인지기능 및 면역력의 변화를 확인하는 연구가 부족한 것으로 여겨진다. 따라서 본 연구는 노인에게서 일상생활도 관리 및 규칙적인 운동활동의 참여가 건강한 노후와 면역력유지에 미치는 효과를 분석하고자 한다. 본 연구를 수행하기 위하여 최근 20여년간 국내,외 이 분야에서 수행된 최신 연구결과들은 펍메드 데이터 베이스를 활용하여 비교 및 분석하고자 한다. 본 연구결과 레저활동을 포함하는 규칙적인 운동활동은 노인의 근육량과 골밀도를 증진시키고, 아울러 당뇨병, 고혈압, 동맥경화, 관절염 등과 같은 성인병을 예방하며, 아울러 인지기능 증가에 따른 치매의 예방과 치료 뿐만 아니라 면역력의 증진을 통한 만성질환과 암의 예방에도 필수적인 것으로 사료된다. 특히 노인에게는 요가나 필라테스를 기반으로 하는 수행하기 쉬운 운동이 좋으며, 흥미있고 자주 할 수 있는 운동이 권장된다. 체력이 전반적으로 약하기 때문에 무리한 운동은 오히려 심혈관계의 부담, 항상성의 교란, 및 면역저하를 동반할 수 있으므로, 레저스포츠 활동, 근력운동을 포함하는 저항운동, 및 일상생활도 증가를 통한 체력증진, 충분한 휴식, 최적의 영양관리가 필요하며 추후 건강한 노인에 최적화된 스포츠 장비, 영양소 섭취와 스포츠 음료 등의 계발에 관한 연구가 이루어져야 할 것이다.
