초록

본 연구에서는 근력과 균형능력 및 지구력 증가를 위한 운동방법이 포함된 두 가지 운동 프로그램이 노인의 균형능력과 낙상효능감에 미치는 영향과 선호도에 따른 효과의 차이를 알아보았다. 21명의 노인을 대상으로 탄력밴드를 사용하는 보조도구사용 그룹(실험군 1)과 신체를 사용하는 그룹(실험군 2)으로 나누어 4주 동안 운동 프로그램을 진행하였다. 노인의 균형능력을 평가하기 위해서 single leg stand (SLS)과 functional reach test (FRT)을 사용하였으며, 낙상에 대한 두려움 정도를 평가하기 위해 fall efficacy scale (FES)를 사용하였다. 평가는 2주간의 통합 운동 프로그램 후 사전 평가를 진행하였으며, 4주 동안 운동 프로그램 적용 후 사후 평가를 실시하였다. 연구결과에서 그룹 내 SLS, FRT, FES 분석은 모두 사전 평가에 비해 사후 평가가 통계학적으로 유의한 개선이 나타났다. 그러나 운동 프로그램에 대한 그룹 간 비교와 선호도에 따른 그룹 간 비교에서는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 결론적으로, 노인의 균형능력과 낙상효능감을 증가시키기 위해서는 운동 프로그램을 적용해야하며, 적용이 용이하고 노인이 쉽게 수행할 수 있는 운동방법을 포함한 프로그램의 사용이 필요하다.

This study investigated the effects of two exercise programs, which include exercise methods to increase muscle strength, balance, and endurance, on the balance ability and fall efficacy of elderly people, and the differences in effects according to preference. Twenty-one elderly people were divided into a group using assistive devices using elastic bands (Experimental Group 1) and a group using the body (Experimental Group 2) and an exercise program was conducted for 4 weeks. The single leg stand (SLS) and functional reach test (FRT) were used to evaluate the elderly's balance ability, and the fall efficacy scale (FES) was used to evaluate the degree of fear of falling. A pre-evaluation was conducted after a 2-week integrated exercise program, and a post-evaluation was conducted after applying the exercise program for 4 weeks. In the study results, within-group SLS, FRT, and FES analyzes all showed statistically significant improvement in the post-assessment compared to the pre-assessment. However, there were no significant differences in the comparison between groups regarding exercise program and between groups according to preference. In conclusion, in order to increase the balance ability and fall efficacy of the elderly, an exercise program must be applied, and it is necessary to use a program that is easy to apply and includes exercise methods that the elderly can easily perform.
