This study aimed to verify the effects of a 4-week program of ankle-strengthening exercise and toe-taping walk exercise on the basic lower body strength and walking to examine the benefits of the two exercises. The subjects involved 30 women in their 20s enrolled in university A. The subjects were equally divided into three groups - ankle-strengthening exercise group, toe-taping walk exercise group, and control group. The subjects were instructed to massage and do ankle-strengthening exercises using a towel, massage ball, and CRT, for 60 minutes, 3 times a week. They also taped their hallux valgus using a kinesiology tape and walked for 20 minutes with white tape applied. To sum up, the 4-week ankle-strengthening exercise and toe-taping walk exercise were identified to have a partial statistical significance on the basic lower body strength (muscular strength, power, and balance) and walking (length of gait line, plantar pressure, and COP) of women in their 20s. Therefore, the study confirmed the effects of ankle-strengthening exercises and toe-taping walk exercise on the lower body exercise function, and it is considered that further studies should be conducted on more various effects of the exercises by subdividing them into different pain locations and orthomechanic findings.

In this paper, we implemented a serious game system for study to accompany exercising and generating to keep on computer game side effect. The implemented serious game system was divided into the game part and the athletic part. The athletic part for whole body exercising was composed of health bicycle for lower body exercise and additional apparatus for upper body exercise, that was attached to the rear side of health bicycle and several generator was attached to the power point of athletic part. The circuit board and logic program was composed to adjust the exercise strength control, to get data and to communicate with the computer. The game part was composed to promote and educational effectiveness, the whole system emphasized on amusement side while avoided violence side. We confirmed the effect of the serious game system with the fourteen fun form which Garneau insists.

As the aging population has increased, the silver generation is getting to account for the considerable percent of economic activities and becomes the main body of production and consumption. Although the economic activity of silver generation is increased, the development of silver contents for the leisure activities is still not revitalized. The serious silver contents and the easy-to-use interface are very important because the silver generation is relatively weaker than young people in perception, studying, and exercise, and is fragile in mobility and vitality. This paper suggests methods to develop sensory bicycle, gate ball, and mole game contents haying lower body exercise effects for the silver generation to utilize leisure and maintain health. Along with fun as games, functional design factors suitable to the cognitive ability and bodily activity ability of the silver generation were considered and through sensory intefaces that are easy for the silver generation to use and customized progressing methods complying with individual characteristics, it was attempted to induce continued interests and lower body exercise effects.

Recently, interest in home training and changes in lifestyle are expanding the market in the healthcare field, and high value-added fashion products reflecting the dumbbell economy phenomenon are being released. This study had the following objectives: to investigate the possibility of developing a fashion item that can be applied to the dumbbell economy phenomenon; to develop the UI/UX of a smartphone application for beginners who wish to work out their upper and lower bodies regardless of time and space; and to create a wearable customized smart athleisure fashion device. First, the study identified factors related to exercise methods, breathing techniques, and range of exercises for beginners by investigating the postures of workouts of the upper and lower bodies by angles. Based on the results, the study collected empirical data through a user needs analysis from muscle strengthening exercise experts to verify the significance of the study and use as fundamental data. Second, the study developed the UI/UX of a smartphone application with three different contents: counting, suggesting exercise postures, and providing exercise calendars. Further, the study analyzed necessary user-centered concepts and characteristics in terms of design and technology and developed a wearable customized smart athleisure fashion device based on the results.

2015년 3월 설문조사에 따르면 한국 직장인의 80%가 운동의 필요성을 인지하고 있을 만큼 건강과 탄탄한 몸매를 위한 사람들의 운동에 대한 관심이 빠르게 증가하고 있다. 지속적인 운동에 대한 관심이 증대되면서 스마트 디바이스를 활용한 운동 관련 애플리케이션 역시 증가하고 있다. 운동 기록을 측정하기 어렵고 별도의 장비가 필요하던 과거와는 달리, 이제는 누구나 가지고 있는 스마트폰만으로도 자신의 운동을 효율적으로 관리 할 수 있도록 하는 애플리케이션이 인기를 끌고 있다. 이러한 수요에 맞추어 스마트폰 상의 근접센서를 이용한 근력운동 측정 및 관리 시스템 '몸매가 예뻐 Gym'은 별다른 장비의 필요 없이 스마트폰에 기본적으로 내장되어 있는 근접센서를 이용하여 사용자에게 운동 기록 측정, 칼로리 소모량, 운동 일정 및 알림 기능을 제공한다. 특히, 기존의 다른 애플리케이션과 달리 상체, 복부, 하체의 신체 전체 운동을 한 시스템에서 제공하고, 챌린지 형식의 추천운동을 제공하여 애플리케이션에 게이밍 요소를 가미한 것이 특징적이다.

Because of a rising in the standard of living and the development of medical technology, Korea is expected to become an aging society more than 14% elderly population and the silver generation will be responsible for the large portion of economic activities. The silver generation has relatively diminished in perception, learning, and exercise due to the physical aging. Therefore, it is important the development of game contents which can constantly provide the maintenance function of physical and mental health and the functional exercise with spending the leisure time. In this paper, we suggest a design method for developing the game contents which are able to help the silver generation to strengthen their lower extremities and to enjoy their leisure time. The proposed method will enable to lead the silver generation to carry on the physical activities with the amusement of playing a game through the functional design concepts appropriate for the ability of the silver generation's perception and physical activities, an adaptive game process customized by the individual capability and a user-friendly sensory interface.

The purpose of this study is to analyze how it affects functional movement and dynamic balance applying Czech get up exercise based on the principle of motor development of child for office worker women in 30s and 40s. Through random allocation, an Czech get up exercise group(n=15) and a control group(n=14) were formed to apply exercise for 12 weeks, 3 times a week, and 60 minutes a day, and the control group maintained daily life at the same period. As a result of the study, showed that Deep squat(p<.05), Hurdle step(p<.01), In-line lunge(p<.05), Trunk stability push-up(p<.001), Rotary stability (p<.01), Total score(p<.001), were significantly in the Czech get up Group, and Dynamic Balance of Lower Extremity(p<.001), Right Dynamic Balance of Lower Extremity(p<.001) were also significantly in the Czech get up Group. In conclusion, it is thought that Czech get up exercise based on the principle of motor development of child will have a positive effect on the functional movement and dynamic balance in office women, thereby increasing work efficiency as well as healthy life.

As the aged have increased due to the progress of medical science and the low birth-rate, the various cultures and industries for them are on the rise. The aged want to enjoy the diverse social activities and the culture content for spending their spare time. But they are liable to be restricted by the activities due to the physical, psychological, and mental disorder. This paper suggests a tangible bicycle game content and interface with the function of training and improving the lower part of body that is necessary to the old people's movement. The suggested game content can attract the interest of the aged by the familiar device, bicycle, and the game design for the old people. We develop the sensory interface for augmenting the immersion in the game. The aged can enjoy their spare time doing both game and exercise through the sensory interface and the real-time display of 3D graphics.
