The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of close kinetic chain(CKC) and open kinetic chain(OKC) posion on proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation applied to the unilateral upper extremity on the muscle activation of lower extremity. All subjects were randomly assigned to two groups: open kinetic chain group(n=5),closed kinetic chain group(n=5). All participants were PNF patterns applied on the unilateral upper extremity in all subjects were the kinetic chain(CKC) and open kinetic chain(OKC) posion on flexion/abduction/external rotation. The hold and approximation techniques for the irradiation were applied to end range. All measurements for each subject took the following tests: pre-test, post - test in 4weeks, post-testin 8weeks. EMG data was collected from the vastus medialis, tibialis anterior, biceps femoris, and gastrocnemius muscle of both lower extreamity using surface EMG system, Each EMG value in individual muscle was normalized for maximal voluntary contraction. The data were analyzed using Two-way analysis of variance(ANOVA) with repeated measures to determine the statistical significances. The results of this study are summarized as follows. First, during for close kinetic chain(CKC) and open kinetic chain(OKC) posion on PNF pattern application, all of the %MVIC values of close kinetic chain and open kinetic chain posion increased sign ificantly compared(p<0.05). Second, The close kinetic chain(CKC) and open kinetic chain(OKC) posion on PNF pattern application was significantly increased with in the intervention period(p<.05). Third, there was a no significant open kinetic chain posion on PNF pattern application of sing muscle group with in the intervention period.(p<0.05) there was a significant close kinetic chain posion on PNF pattern application of sing muscle group with with in the intervention period(p<0.05). Forth, interaction of the exercise position and muscle was also significant. Post-hoc tests revealed that the activation levels of vastus medialis muscle and tibialis anterior muscle was higher in the closed kinetic chain position(p<.05). that the activation levels of vastus medialis and gastrocnemius muscle was higher in the open kinetic chain position(p<.05). In conclusion, it was found that the application of PNF patterns to the unilateral upper extremity effect on the muscle activation of lower extremity and both open kinetic chain exercise and closed kinetic chain exercise was significantly increased muscle activity. Further studies are needed to analyzed long term effects and subjects resulting from these changed.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the muscle activity ratio of the lower limb according to changes in straight leg raise (SLR) test angles on hamstring muscle shortening during squat exercises. Design: Randomized controlled trial. Methods: The subjects were 14 healthy adults who were informed of and agreed to the method and purpose of the study. The participants were classified into SLR groups according to two angles (over $80^{\circ}$ or under $80^{\circ}$) assessed using the SLR tests. After training and practicing the wall squat posture to be applied to the experiment, electromyography (EMG) was used to measure changes in muscle activity during the performance of a wall squat. After stretching, a sequence of pre-stretch tests were performed again, and the active and passive SLR tests were also reconducted; thereafter, a wall squat was performed again by attaching EMG electrodes. The EMG results before and after stretching were compared. Results: The muscle activity of the vastus lateralis oblique muscle increased in both groups. The muscle activity of the vastus medialis oblique muscle decreased in over both group. Rectus femorus activity increased in the under 80-degree groups but decreased in the over 80-degree group. The muscle activity of the biceps femoris muscle decreased after stretching in the over 80-degree group and increased in the under 80-degree group, and the semitendinosus muscle activity after stretching was decreased. The quadriceps-to-hamstring muscle (Q:H) ratio before and after stretching between groups showed that the hamstring muscle ratio decreased after stretching in both groups. Conclusions: The results of this study showed that the Q:H ratio before and after stretching between groups was not significantly different.

PURPOSE: Aging causes a decrease in muscle mass and a change in posture, which reduces motor function and makes it difficult to perform daily activities independently. As these factors are closely related to the deterioration of the quality of life, it is very important to prevent and manage negative changes in the musculoskeletal system. Forest healing is a nature therapy course that maintains and promotes health using various environmental factors in a forest. The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of the forest healing anti-aging programs on the physical health of the elderly. METHODS: Ten elderly people participated in this study, as part of a forest healing anti-aging program for two days. Functional fitness, muscle strength, gait function, and balance were evaluated before and after the program. RESULTS: The number of arm curls, chair stands, and steps in a 2-min walk significantly increased (p < .05). 8-feet up & go time was significantly decreased (p < .05). Biceps brachii, quadriceps femoris, and calf muscle strength were significantly increased (p < .05). Gait velocity and cadence were significantly increased (p < .05). Step length, stride length, step time, swing time, stance time, and cycle time were significantly decreased (p < .05). Reaching distance in the lateral directions was significantly increased (p < .05). CONCLUSION: The forest healing anti-aging program improves the physical health of the elderly.

돼지고기 저지방 부위의 활용도를 제고하기 위해 54개의 뒷다리를 사용하여 고염처리(7%), 중염처리(5%) 저염처리(3%)하였고 180일, 270일, 360일간 $19^{\circ}C$, 상대습도 $65{\pm}2%$를 유지하며 건조한 후, 대퇴두갈래근의 이화학적 특성 및 관능적 특성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 조사하였다. 소금처리 수준이 낮을수록 높은 pH를 나타냈고(p<0.05), 건조기간이 길어질수록 pH가 감소하였다. 수분활성도는 건조기간이 늘어날수록 유의적으로 낮아졌으며, 특히 저염구에서 수분활성도가 다른 처리보다 높았다. 건염햄을 건조하는 동안 경도의 변화는, 고염구에서는 360일간 일정하게 증가함을 보였지만, 저염구와 중염구에서는 180일과 270일 사이에 급격히 단단해졌고, 270일 이후에는 유의적인 수준의 경도 변화는 없었다. 건조기간이 길어질수록 응집성과 검성, 씹힘성이 증가하였다. 탄력성은 소금처리 수준이 높아질수록 증가하였고, 검성과 씹힘성은 저염구에서 가장 낮은 값을 나타냈다. 건조기간은 건염햄의 채도와 색상 값을 유의적으로 증가시켰으며, 소금처리량이 적을수록 높은 적색도를 보였다. 하지만 육안으로 평가된 적색도는 소금처리수준과 건조기간에 영향을 받지 않았다. 관능평가에서, 소금처리 수준이 높을수록 경도와 짠맛 점수가 높았고, 건조기간이 길어질수록 경도와 풍미도 점수가 높아졌다. 따라서, 본 연구결과는 건염햄의 대량생산 및 산업화시 소비자 요구에 알맞은 제품 생산을 하기 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있는 가능성을 제시하는 바이다.

자연환경에서 건염햄 제조 시 소금 처리 수준과 아질산염 처리 유무가 지방산 조성, 유리아미노산, 미생물수 및 관능적 특성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는 지를 조사하기 위해 HS(뒷다리 kg 당 92 g 소금 처리), HS+$NaNO_2$(뒷다리 kg 당 92 g 소금+100 ppm 아질산염 처리), LS(뒷다리 kg 당 62 g 소금 처리), LS+$NaNO_2$(뒷다리 kg 당 62 g 소금+100 ppm 아질산염 처리) 등 4개 처리구에 돼지 뒷다리 3개씩을 배치하여 조사하였다. 지방산 조성에서 SFA는 HS+$NaNO_2$ 처리구에서 다른 처리구에 비해 유의적으로 높은 비율을 나타내었고, USFA는 HS+$NaNO_2$ 처리구에서 다른 처리구에 비해 유의적으로 낮은 비율을 나타내었다(p<0.05). 유리아미노산 분석결과, 우리나라 환경에서 제조된 건염햄의 경우 glutamate(228.26-427.11 mg/100 g), alanine(356.03-579.47 mg/100 g), lysine (377.88-685.06 mg/100 g) 등이 높은 함량을 나타내었으며, proline을 제외한 모든 유리아미노산들은 소금 처리수준과 아질산염 처리 유무에 유의적인 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 조사되었다(p>0.05). 관능평가 결과, HS 처리구 보다 LS 처리구에서 유의적으로 발효취가 높은 것으로 조사되었으며(p<0.05), 총균수는 $2.3{\times}10^2-1.11{\times}10^4$ 수준이었고, E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli O157, Salmonella spp.는 검출되지 않았다.
