Abstract

This study examined the effects of combined exercise training for preventing falls on the physical performance, falling index, and balance in elderly women. All subjects (N = 32) were recruited and divided randomly to either a combined exercise group (n= 16, EX) or non-exercise control group (n = 16, CON). During 12 weeks of training, the subjects in the EX performed the combined exercise programs (three times/week, 60min/session), and the subjects in the CON maintained their ordinary lives. At the PRE, MID, POST tests, All subjects completed senior fitness tests(dynamic balance, two minutes walking, sit and stand for 30 seconds), tests for falling risk with Tetrax, and tests for posture balance with the spine balance 3D. After the baseline tests, two-way repeated-measures ANOVA with contrast testing was used with SPSS 21.0. Alpha was set to 0.05. In the results, the dynamin balance (p=.001), two minutes walking (p=.001), sit and stand for 30 seconds (p=.001), falling risk (p=.002), and posture balance (p=.034) in the EX were significantly different, but not in the CON. Thus, elderly females who performed combined exercise training for 12 weeks can increase their physical fitness & posture stability and reduce their falling risk.

본 연구는 여성노인을 대상으로 낙상예방을 위한 12주간 복합운동프로그램이 여성노인의 낙상관련 건강체력, 낙상위험도, 자세균형에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 실시하였다. 본 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위해 연구대상자는 운동그룹 16명 통제그룹 16명으로 총 32명이 참여하였다. 운동그룹은 복합운동프로그램을 주 3회 60분씩 12주 동안 실시하였고 통제그룹은 같은 기간 동안 일상적인 생활을 하였다. 여성노인들의 낙상관련 건강체력은 노인체력검사(SFT: senior fitness test)중 동적평형성, 2분 동안 제자리걷기, 30초 동안 일어섰다 앉기 검사를 측정하였다. 여성노인들의 낙상위험도는 Tetrax장비로 측정하고 자세균형능력은 Spine Balance 3D를 이용하여 측정하였다. 본 연구의 자료처리는 SPSS/ver. 21을 이용하여 이원반복측정 변량분석(two-way ANOVA with repeated measures)을 실시하였고, 유의수준은 α=.05로 하였다. 본 연구결과 복합운동을 적용한 운동그룹은 동적평형성(p=.001), 2분 제자리걷기(p=.001), 30초 동안 일어섰다 앉기(p=.001), 낙상위험도(p=.002), 자세균형(p=.034)에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 보였지만 통제그룹은 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 이상의 결과를 살펴보면 여성노인들의 12주간 복합운동프로그램 참여가 그들의 건강체력과 자세안정성을 향상시키고 낙상의 위험을 감소시킬 수 있을 것이다.
