This study was conducted to develop wearable products with visual and auditory feedback aimed at promoting exercise interest in children. Here we determined the theoretical characteristics of cognitive and motor function development during childhood, empirical characteristics of children's motor functions, and factors that encourage exercise using natural observation and in-depth interview research methods. The questionnaire assessed children's motor ability, intensively trained body parts in sports programs, types of training or classes that improve the motor ability of each muscle group, significantly considered aspects of children's sports programs, and factors that promote children's interest in exercise. Our results suggest that the development of sport programs comprising varied exercise options that enhance body and limb movements are needed for balanced growth. Furthermore, it is very important to provide motivation for regular exercise and appropriate feedback, such as praise and encouragement, to maintain interest in exercise. This study identifies the standards for developing products that peak children's interest in exercise and the basis for a physically and mentally healthy society.

PURPOSE: This study examined the effects of posture improvement exercise using virtual reality programs on the posture and balance of patients with forward head postures. METHODS: Thirty men and women in their 20 s, who had a forward head posture, were divided randomly into a group with posture correction exercise and a group with posture correction exercise combined with virtual reality programs. The posture correction exercise was composed of squats, XCO training, and chin-tuck exercise. In contrast, exercise with virtual reality games involved the Hot Squat, Climbey, and Baskhead programs while wearing a headset. Both groups performed the exercises 15 min a day, three times per week, for four weeks. The balance ability, distance between the acromion and earlobe, and neck joint range of motion were assessed before and after the exercises. RESULTS: Both groups showed significant reductions in the distance between the acromion and the earlobe, along with significant improvements in the range of joint motion. The group that performed the virtual reality exercises showed a significant increase in the limit of stability. Both groups showed a significant decrease in the sway length. In contrast, the group given the virtual reality exercises showed a significant reduction in the sway speed while standing with their eyes closed. CONCLUSION: Exercise applying virtual reality programs can be used in clinical and home programs to correct the postures of individuals with a forward head posture because they can trigger interest in inducing active participation.

In old age, measures to cope with the natural phenomenon of aging and various diseases of the elderly due to the deterioration of physical function are also a challenge for this society. While interest in systematic health is increasing, it is true that awareness and interest in oral-related diseases is relatively lacking. This study aims to present basic data necessary to improve the quality of life for senior citizens aged 65 or older by improving the oral dryness caused by systemic health. By research method, improve oral dryness caused by whole-body health with the elderly over 65 and promote their oral health, inducing the increase of the salivary flow rate through oral health care education, oral exercise, and salivary gland massage. First, on the DMSQ according to the general characteristics of the elderly, the recognition of the whole body and oral health status, independent sample t-test and One-way ANOVA were conducted. Second, on changes in the salivary flow rate and saliva pH according to the general characteristics of the elderly, recognition of oral and whole-body health status, and whole-body health, paired samples t-test was conducted. Studies have shown that salivary gland flow increased significantly after oral exercise and salivary gland massage, the salivary flow rate significantly increased. In all variables of the recognition of the oral health status, the salivary flow rate increased after oral exercise and salivary gland massage, and in the whole-body health, regardless of hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, and osteoporosis, the salivary flow rate increased after oral exercise and salivary gland massage, and the salivary flow rate increased after oral exercise and salivary gland massage if the subjects responded that they did not have thyroid abnormality, anemia, abnormalities of breathing, hypotension, gastrointestinal disturbance, or kidney diseases. As a comprehensive analysis of this study, many felt oral dryness when they had a problem with the whole-body health, and many felt oral dryness when they had a problem with oral health cognition. After applying oral exercise and salivary gland massage as intervention methods in the oral health care for the elderly, the salivary flow rate significantly increased, and it is judged that the methods were very effective for controlling oral dryness. Furthermore, it is judged that the factors affecting oral health, whole-body health, and oral dryness would be identified, which would be helpful for the promotion of whole-body health and oral health. It is judged that continuous research would be needed so that measures for the application of the oral care program and system for the elderly would be prepared in the future.

유아숲체험장은 유아가 산림을 체험함으로써 전인적 성장을 이루는 교육 시설이며, 숲이라는 환경에 특정 시설이 설치됨으로써 완성되는 것이 아니라 숲이라는 환경 자체에서 유아가 자유롭게 놀이할 수 있는 공간이 되어야 한다. 본 연구는 서울시 유아숲체험장의 현황을 종합적으로 평가하여 숲체험 효과를 높이기 위한 공간 개선 방안을 제시하였다. 이론 고찰을 통해 숲체험 효과를 높이는 공간 요소 7가지와 실외놀이공간을 구성하는 6가지 영역을 도출하여 현황 평가를 위한 분석 표를 작성하고 서울시 유아숲체험장 24곳을 대상으로 현장조사연구를 수행하였다. 또한 전문가 인터뷰를 통해 유아교육학 관점에서 물리적 현황을 살펴보고 이용 주체의 경험을 정리하였다. 연구 결과 서울시 유아숲체험장은 위치적 특성과 공간 구조에 따라 6가지 유형으로 분류되며 각 유형별 특징을 갖는다. 개별 유아숲체험장의 환경적 강점을 드러냄으로써 숲체험의 효과를 높일 수 있다. 야외체험학습장의 경우 운동놀이 영역의 비중이 가장 컸다. 영역별 체험 공간을 고르게 구성함으로써 유아에게 보다 다양한 경험을 제공할 수 있다. 그러나 획일적인 시설물 위주의 현황을 숲체험 효과를 낮추는 단편적인 요인으로 볼 수는 없다. 창의적인 활동을 유도하여 숲체험 효과를 높이는 핵심은 주변 자연환경을 고려한 공간 구성이다. 시설물은 유아의 관심이 숲으로 옮겨가도록 돕는 매개체가 되어야 한다. 본 연구는 서울시 유아숲체험장의 평균적인 물리적 현황을 파악할 수 있는 자료를 작성하였고, 숲체험 효과를 높이기 위한 공간 개선 방안을 제시하였다. 이는 사업시행 약 10년이 지난 시점에서 유아숲체험장의 질적 수준 향상을 위한 연구의 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있다.
