Objective: The purpose of this study is to apply exercise learning effect to various subjects through training effect and information accumulation based on verification of the effect on dumbbell curl exercises applied with virtual reality. Method: To analyze the effect on the dumbbell curl exercise in the virtual environment, a total of 20 persons with 10 males and 10 females who does not have orthopedics diseases were selected. The dumbbell weight of the subjects was set to a weight of 70% strength of 1RM. At this time, the virtual environment situation was set to four types; presence/absence of virtual environment, preferred colors, and unfavorable colors to perform dumbbell curl exercise. The anaysis of muscle activity was conducted by adhering four surface electrodes (Biceps Brachii, Triceps Brachii, Brachioradialis Muscle, Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus Muscle) on the right upper limbs. Independent sample t-test using SPSS (24.0) program was carried out to analyze average values and standard deviations for each variable depending on the presence/absence of virtual environments and changes in color (preferred colors, unfavorable colors) and the level of significance was set to a=.05. Results: In the eccentric contraction, males showed high muscle activity in the Biceps Brachii under virtual reality. On the other hand, females had high muscle activity in the Biceps Brachii in the absence of virtual reality. Also, in case of a change of colors in the virtual environment, females had the high muscle activity in the unfavorable color in the eccentric contraction. Conclusion: During the dumbbell curl exercise, results of different exercises present depending on gender. When males put VR on and performs a basic dumbbell curl exercise, the effect of Biceps presents Brachii for them while exercising in unfavorable colors. However, since it is the basic research data of muscle exercise using virtual reality, it is necessary to verify whether or not it is effective for myopachynsis through long-term training rather than unity.

An elbow orthosis with a pneumatic rubber actuator has been developed to assist and enhance upper limbs movements and has been examined for the effectiveness. The effectiveness of the elbow orthosis was examined by comparing muscular activities during alternate dumbbell curl motion wearing and not wearing the orthosis. The subjects participated in the experiment were younger adults in their twenties. The subjects were instructed to perform dumbbell curl motion in a sitting position wearing and not wearing orthosis in turn and a dynamometer was used to measure elbow joint torque outputs in an isokinetic mode. Orthosis was controlled using contractile muscle force that is measured from force sensor through cDAQ-9172 board. The air pressure of the pneumatic actuator was 0.3MPa the most suitable air pressure. For the analysis of muscular activities, Electromyography of the subjects was measured during alternate dumbbell curl motion. The experiment results showed that the muscular activities wearing the elbow orthosis were reduced. With this, we confirmed the effectiveness of the developed elbow orthosis.

An elbow orthosis with a pneumatic rubber actuator has been developed to assist and enhance upper limb movements and has been examined for the effectiveness. The effectiveness of the elbow orthosis was examined by comparing muscular activities during alternate dumbbell curl exercises with and without the orthosis. The subjects participated in the experiment were younger adults in their twenties. The subjects were instructed to perform dumbbell curl motion in a sitting position with and without orthosis in turn and a dynamometer was used to measure elbow joint torque outputs in an isovelocity mode. The measurements were done with four various dumbbell loads: 0 kg, 1 kg, 3 kg, and 5 kg. The orthosis was pneumatically actuated and controlled in a passive mode. The most comfortable air pressure to the pneumatic actuator was determined to be 0.294MPa. Electromyography(EMG) was also measured during curl exercises. The muscles of interest were biceps brachii(BB), triceps brachii(TB), brachioradialis(Bo), and flexor carpi ulnaris(FCU) in the upper limbs. The experimental results showed that the muscular activities themselves significantly reduced with elbow orthosis on in performing similar activities without orthosis. As a result of this experiment, the effectiveness of the developed upper limb orthosis was confirmed and the level of assistance was quantified.

In this paper, a study was conducted to estimate the maximum muscle strength which is a standard for selecting exercise intensity in weight training. We designed a device that estimates the muscle fatigue from the EMG signal, expecting to show a correlation between peak muscle strength and fatigue. Curl - Dumbbell was performed using a 4 kg dumbbell and the frequency change of the EMG was observed. At this time, the designed device acquires the signal using the MCU and finally Matlab was used to confirm the change in the center frequency value. The results of 10 subjects were analyzed using SPSS regression analysis. The statistical results showed a correlation of $R^2$ 0.583 and Significant probability of 0.010, and the relation of Y = 8.144-2.097 (slope (MDF)) was obtained. In conclusion, if the wearable device is manufactured in the form of a wearable device and the user can recommend the exercise intensity, the system will be able to retry the more efficient exercise.

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the elderly physical fitness test for elderly people living in urban areas and to evaluate the physical fitness level according to gender and age groups. Methods: The subjects were 180 elderly people aged 65 and over living in urban areas. The elderly people were classified into early old age, middle old age, and advanced old age groups. Five items of the physical fitness test for the elderly (arm curl, chair stand, 2 min step test, back scratch, and chair sit and reach). Results: In analyzing the average of each item by gender and age, a significant difference was found in the results of each item as age increased in all sports, but no difference was observed according to gender except dumbbell lifting. Conclusion: Although the physical fitness level of all ages decreased from early age to late age, the difference in physical fitness according to gender was not significant except the arm curl test. The results of this study can be used as basic data for a new "age-specific exercise program" for the elderly.

[Purpose] The composition of protein supplements, the consumption timing immediately before and after resistance exercise training (RET), and the quantity of protein supplementation may be important factors for the im-provement of muscle mass and function. Although these factors should be considered comprehensively for effective improvement of muscular function in protein supplementation, relatively few studies have focused on this area. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate whether a protein blend supplement before and after resistance exercise for 12 weeks would be effective in increasing muscular function. [Methods] In total, 18 participants were randomly assigned to a placebo (PLA) or protein blend supplement (PRO) group. All subjects followed the same training routine 3 times per week for 12 weeks, taking placebo or protein supplements immediately before and after each exercise session. The protein supplement consisted of 40 g of blend protein, including hydrolyzed whey protein. The RET consisted of lower body (barbell squat, dead lift, seated leg extension, and lying leg curl) and upper body (bench press, barbell rowing, preacher bench biceps curl, and dumbbell shoulder press) exercises. A repetition was defined as three sets of 10-12 times with 80% of one repetition maximum (1RM). [Results] Although the PRO group had a lower protein intake in terms of total food intake than the PLA group, the mean changes in muscle circumference, strength, and exercise volume increased, especially at week 12, compared to the PLA group. [Conclusion] These results suggest that the composition and timing of protein intake are more important than the total amount.

많은 선행연구는 대규모 역학조사를 통하여 노화와 함께 근육의 감소가 나타나는 현상을 규명하였고, 이를 근감소증(sarcopenia)으로 명명하였다. 근감소증이 사망률과 유병률에 직접적인 관련성을 나타내지 않는 것 같으나 근육의 감소는 근력의 저하, 체력의 약화, 활동성의 감소로 이어져 결국에는 독립적인 생활이 불가능해지며 신체장애를 가져오게 된다. 본 연구는 근감소증 예방을 위한 미용덤벨 운동의 효과를 살펴보는데 있다. 본 연구의 피검자는 S시 J구에 소재한 J노인복지관 운동프로그램에 참가하는 60-70대의 노인으로 통제군 19명, 운동군 8명으로 분류하였다. 미용덤벨 운동은 12주 동안 주2회의 빈도로 실시하여, 운동 전·후로 신체조성, 체력, 혈중지질 변인을 측정하였다. 12주간의 미용덤벨 전·후 체지방률(F=0.388, p=0.539)은 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았으나, 체중(F=4.312, p=0.048), 체질량지수(F=4.532, p=0.043), 근육량(F=4.743, p=0.039)은 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 체력의 덤벨들기(F=1.103, p=0.304), 등 뒤에서 손잡기(F=0.214, p=0.648)는 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았으나, 2분 제자리 걷기(F=33.638, p<0.001), 의자에서 일어섰다 앉기(F=14.575, p=0.001), 의자앉아 앞으로 굽히기(F=7.198, p=0.013), 244cm 왕복 걷기(F=14.890, p=0.001)는 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 혈중지질 변인의 총 콜레스테롤(F=0.030, p=0.864), 중성지방(F=0.142, p=0.710), 고밀도지단백(F=2.066, p=0.163), 혈당(F=0.125, p=0.727), 당화혈색소(F=0.945, p=0.340)는 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 노인에게 있어서 미용덤벨 운동은 신체조성 및 체력에 긍정적인 영향을 미치나 혈중지질 변인에는 그렇지 못한 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
