Abstract
Purpose : The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of the elastic-band exercise program for elderly who over 65 years old in terms of depression and physical self efficacy. We aim to suggest interventions with an elastic-band exercise program for elderly. Methods : The study subjects selected were females or males 65 years old or more who could walk without assistance and could talk about daily living without mental or physical disorders. A total of eight subjects understood the purpose of this study and agreed to participate. Before and after the exercise program, the subjects were monitored for changes in their physical self-efficacy and depression. To measure the physical self-efficacy, we used a perceived physical ability scale and physical self-presentation confidence scale (Cronbach α =0.942). To measure depression, we used the geriatric depression scale short form (Korea version, Cronbach α =0.969). The data obtained from each measure were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed rank test to determine changes from before and after the exercise program. The program consisted of three parts (warm-up, main exercise and cool-down) and included the upper extremities, the lower extremities and trunk exercises with an elastic band (yellow and red). The program lasted for 15 weeks, once a week, with each session lasting for 60 minutes. Results : After 15 weeks of the elastic-band exercise program, there was a significant decrease on the depression scale (p<0.05) and significant improvements on the physical self-efficacy scale (p<0.05). Conclusion : Based upon our results, we demonstrated that the exercise program using the elastic band was effective in improving the depression and physical self-efficacy of the elderly.
