For the purpose of disclosing the effects of exercise program on physical fitness for health promotion, living activities, and performance abilities of the elderly in the institution, questionnaire survey and physical examination were performed on the subject, aged 65 years or older. The subjects consisted of experimental (33 persons) and control (35 persons) groups, matched with gender and age. The experimental group was put on the exercise program; working their upper and lower limbs for 12 weeks using dumbbell and lead-packed weight. The results were as follows: 1)The mean values of experimental group were significantly higher than those of control group in all variables of physical fitness, in all variables except for living activities, and in all variables of performance abilities after exercise program. 2)The mean values were significantly improved in all variables of experimental group after exercise program, but the mean values were decreased or maintained in most of variables of control group after exercise.

본 연구는 평소 신체활동이 부족한 여성 노인들에게 스트레칭을 포함하는 요가운동 및 레크리에이션이 여성노인의 심리적 변화, 생리적 변화 및 운동능력에 미치는 영향을 밝히고자 수행되었다. 본 연구의 결과로 규칙적인 요가 운동이 체지방, 혈압, 콜레스테롤 등을 감소시키고, 우울증의 감소와 더불어 삶의 만족도와 일상 생활도를 증가시키며, 협응성, 민첩성, 평형성 등을 포함하는 체력을 증가 시켰다. 이러한 실험결과를 바탕으로 여성노인들에 대한 과학적인 운동치료에 관한 연구가 시급히 이루어져야 할 것으로 여겨진다.

This study was done to investigate levels of physical fitness, self efficacy(SE), instrumental activities of daily living(IADL), and quality of life (QL), and their relationships among the elderly Data were collected from 47 noninstitutionalized elderly dwell-ing in their own homes and 43 institutionalized elderly living in homes for older people. The ages of the subjects were 65 years and over. The data were col lected from January 20th to February 20th, 1995. Physical fitness was measured with T.K. K dyna mometer, grip dynamometer, stop watch, and Purdue pegboard. Structured questionnaires developed by Kim by Lawton & Brody, and by Ro were adopted to measure SE, IADL, and QL, respectively. The data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficients. The results were as follows : 1. The noninstitutionalized elderly had higher scores in such measures of physical fitness as body weight, skinfold thickness, flexibility and coordination as compared to the institutionalized elderly. 2. On the following measures of physical fitness, men showed higher levels than women ; in height when standing, height when sitting, body weight, and muscle strength. Women had more trunk flexibility than men. 3. Muscle strength was positively correlated with height when standing, height when sitting, and body weight. The following measures of physical fitness, muscle strength, flexibility and coordi nation, were negatively correlated with "up and go”. 4. The noninstitutionalized elderly had higher scores in SE(t=2.28, p<0.05), IADL(t=2.24, p<0.05), and QL(t=2.41, p<0.05) as compared to the institutionalized elderly. 5. SE was positively correlated with both IADL(r=0.41, p<0.001) and QL(r=0.54, p<0.001), and the latter two variables were a positively correlated (r=0.30, p<0.001). 6. SE was positively correlated with the physical fitness measures of height when standing, body weight, strength of leg muscles, strength of back muscles, grip strength, and level of touching the floor, but negatively correlated with "up and go”. 7. Positive correlations were revealed between IADL and the physical fitness measures of height, strength of leg muscles, level of trunk muscle extension, level of touching the floor, and coordination. The IADL was negatively correlated with “up and go”. 8. QL was positively correlated with body weight (r=0.28, p<0.01) and skinfold thickness (r=0.26, p<0.05). 9. Age was negatively correlated with the physical fitness measures of height when standing, height when sitting, “up and go”, strength of leg muscles, strength of back muscles, grip strength, level of trunk muscle extension, and coordination. 10. Age was also negatively correlated with SE (r=-0.24, p<0.05) and IADL(r=-0.22, p<0.05). The above results suggest that caring elderly in their own homes were more effective and that nursing interventions to enhance physical fitness, SE, IADL, and QL especially for the institutionalized elderly are stressed.

의학 기술의 발달과 저 출산 현상으로 인구의 고령화가 진행되어감에 따라, 실버세대를 위한 다양한 문화와 산업이 대두되고 있다. 실버 세대는 상대적으로 많은 여가시간을 보내기 위해 다양한 사회 활동과 문화 콘텐츠를 경험하길 원하지만, 노령화에 따른 신체적 심리적 정신적 기능 저하로 인해 제약이 따르게 된다. 본 논문에서는 실버 세대들이 사회활동에서 가장 필요로 하는 이동성 확보에 도움이 되는 하체 단련과 체력 증진 기능을 갖춘 체감형 자전거 게임 콘텐츠를 제안한다. 제안된 게임 콘텐츠는 실버세대에게 익숙한 자전거라는 기구를 이용하여 노인들에게 적합한 게임 구성과 디자인을 통해 게임에 대한 흥미를 유발시킬 수 있다. 노인들은 게임의 몰입감을 증대시키기 위해 개발된 체감형 인터페이스와 실시간 3D 그래픽스 디스플레이를 통해 놀이와 운동을 동시에 즐기며 여가시간을 활용할 수 있다.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to determine Exercisely the effects of applying an Integrated Exercise Program (IEP) with the adapted use of Thera-Band exercise sets to Korean seniors on their improvement in their physical strength (PS), daily living ability (ADL and IDAL). Methods : The Exercise group consisted of 30 Korean seniors of 65 years of age or older, while the control group had another 30 Korean seniors with comparable aging. The Exercise group received the IEP for 50 to 60 minutes per session, three sessions per week, for a duration of consecutive 12 weeks. Results : This confirms the beneficial effects of the IEP on their MA and PS, and their improvement in PS (p<.05), in turn, can improve their IADL (p<.05). The results of this study indicate the potentialities for IEP to help Korean seniors of 65 years or older to improve their PS, ADL and IADL. Conclusion : The IEP is within the physical and financial capabilities of Korean seniors, can be designed and modified and adjusted according to their individual physiological conditions. Sustained, regular exercises under IEP are expected to help resolve physiological issues of aging of Korean seniors.

PURPOSE: This study investigated the relationship between the daily physical activity level and fall-proof-related fitness in older female adults. METHODS: This study promoted and sampled the subjects who participated in the study for 2 weeks, and developed a basic information questionnaire to select the subjects to be excluded from the research. The amount of energy expenditure through daily physical activity was examined, and the elderly physical fitness, and balance test were analyzed. The subjects were divided into group A (${\geq}1,500kcal/week$), group B (<$1,500-{\geq}1,000kcal/week$), and group C (<1,000 kcal/week) according to their daily physical activity level. RESULTS: A significant difference in the daily physical activity level (energy expenditure), Chair Stand Test (lower body strength), 8-Foot Up-and Go Test (dynamic balance), and CTSIB-M (modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction in Balance) was observed among groups A, B, and C (p<.5), but there was no significant difference in the Chair Sit-and-Reach Test (lower body flexibility) (p>.5). CONCLUSION: The increase in physical activity is an essential factor for preventing falls and it provides many health benefits for the elderly. On the other hand, considering that elderly people cannot access exercise programs easily in Korea, it can be predicted that increasing elderly people's physical activity in daily life rather than specific exercises may help prevent falls.

21세기로 접어들면서 사회와 문화의 흐름은 자기 스스로 경험하고 즐기고 체험을 하는 단지 보고 즐기는 것에서 자신이 직접 경험하고 행위의 주체 자가 되는 문화현상으로 나타나고 있다. 이러한 흐름은 2010년부터 활성화되고 있는 커뮤니티 댄스(Community Dance)로 나타났다. 커뮤니티 댄스는 누구나 대상이 될 수 있으며 모임의 특성과 연령에 따라 아동 무용, 성인 무용, 노인무용으로 나뉠 수 있어 다양한 연령대로 활동 할 수 있다. 또한 미취학 아동부터 노인에 이르기까지 연령대별로 모임에서 성별, 인종, 종교에 관계없이 건강을 증진하거나 표현의 욕구를 충족하고 체력을 향상시킬 수 있는 모든 사람의 행복과 자아 성취를 위한 모든 종류의 춤을 말한다. 모든 사람들이 각자의 여가시간을 활용하여 자발적으로 즐겁게 참여하는 무용 활동으로 체험을 통한 춤이라는 비언어적 특징이 세대 간의 공감대와 소통을 이루며 삶의 질 향상에 도움을 줄 수 있다. 커뮤니티 댄스는 평생교육을 통해 사회학습으로의 확장성을 가져오며 전문가들이 일반인들을 대상으로 함께 진행하는 자발적인 공동체 모임이다. 커뮤니티 댄스의 정의는 누구나 개인의 일상생활을 풍요롭게 하고 사회적으로 공동체의식을 높여 밝은 사회를 만들며, 개개인에게는 건강증진과 미적 교육의 목표를 이루는 신체활동의 총체라고 할 수 있다. 또한 창의성의 의미를 자기표현으로서의 몸과 창의성에서 무용체험은 참여자가 참여 과정에서 경험하는 긍정적인 심리체험과 일상에 미친 영향력을 탐색해 행복 관점을 투영하여 커뮤니티 댄스의 효과로 나타나고 있으며 참여자들은 춤 문화를 향유를 위해 지금까지 온라인 오프라인을 통해 지속적인 네트워킹을 하고 있다. 커뮤니티 댄스의 붐이 불기 시작하면서 10년간 다양한 분야로 연구가 진행되었지만 실질적인 프로그램의 방법론은 미비하여 국내에서 진행한 커뮤니티 댄스 사례를 조사하여 펠든크라이스 기법(Feldenkrais Method)을 제시하여 향 후 국내 커뮤니티 댄스에 필요한 방법론으로 자리 잡아 문화 소외계층과 활용될 수 있기를 기대하며 무용의 신체 기능적 측면의 향상과 심리적 안정감을 줄 수 있는 교육적 효과와 예술가들의 안무 창작법의 일환으로 활용될 수 있으리라 사료된다.
