본 연구에서는 디지털 풀리 기술을 이용하여 다양한 운동 형태에서 정량적인 1RM 측정이 가능한 국민건강관리 및 체력증진을 위한 스마트 1RM 시스템을 개발하고 이를 이용하여 훈련 시 그에 대한 효과를 검증하고자 하였다. 휴대용 근력 측정 장치, 블루투스 통신 기반 휴대폰 데이터 전송 및 회로도, 높낮이 조절이 가능한 시스템 몸체로 구성된 디지털 풀리 기반 스마트 1RM 측정시스템을 개발하였다. 피험자는 신체 건강한 20대 성인남녀 30명을 대상으로 15명씩 무작위로 개발된 시스템을 이용하여 훈련을 수행하는 그룹과 수행하지 않는 그룹으로 나뉘었다. 피험자는 스마트 1RM 시스템을 이용하여 팔꿈치, 요추, 무릎관절 신전/굴곡 운동을 10회씩 5세트를 수행하였고, 실험 기간은 주 3일, 총 8주간 진행되었다. 개발된 시스템에 대한 유효성 검증을 위해 주관절, 요추관절, 슬관절의 최대근력을 BIODEX System 3를 이용하여 측정하였고 운동 모드에 대한 유효성 검증을 위해 호흡가스분석을 평가하였다. 또한 개발된 1RM 시스템의 최대근력 평가 결과 값에 대한 유효성 검증을 위해 기존 검증된 시스템인 등속성 근기능 측정 모듈인 Biodex system3 결과 값과 비교 분석하였다. 실험결과, 훈련그룹에서 최대근력 증진 운동 전 후 주관절, 요추관절, 슬관절의 최대 근력이 유의하게 모두 증진되는 결과를 얻었다. 1RM 운동모드 중 산소섭취량은 근력강화 운동이 근지구력강화 운동 보다 약 10.91% 더 많은 산소소비량을 나타냈다. 또한 개발된 스마트 1RM 최대근력 측정데이터에 대한 유효성을 검증하기 위해 기존 Biodex system3 데이터와 신뢰도분석을 실시한 결과, 신뢰도는 0.895(*p<0.00)로 매우 높은 신뢰 수준 일치하는 결과를 얻었다. 본 연구는 향후 국민 건강관리 및 체력증진을 보다 정량적으로 활용하고 또한 고령자나 재활환자들의 조기 재활치료에 적용 가능하다고 생각된다.

본 연구에서는 복합운동프로그램이 근골격계 요통환자들의 생체역학적 기능회복에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 43명의 산업재해 요통환자들을 대상으로 프로그램 효과를 분석하였다. 분석 결과 복합운동프로그램이 요부근력과 근지구력을 유의하게 증가시켜 요부기능회복에 긍정적으로 작용하였고, 요통으로 인해 낮아진 유연성을 증가시켜 정상인 수준으로 높일 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 복합운동 프로그램이 자세의 교정 및 척추변형 정도의 개선에 효과적으로 기여하는 것으로 나타났고 들기, 사회생활, 통증지속시간, 통증발생빈도 감소에 효과적으로 기여하는 것으로 나타났다. 결국 본 연구의 결과 복합운동 프로그램이 작업관련성 요통환자들의 문제점을 개선하는데 효과적이고 적합하다는 사실을 알 수 있었다.

Purpose: This study evaluated the validity of measuring paravertebral muscle function with 3D-NEWTON (Hanmed, Korea) by assessing the correlation between Biodex (Biodex, USA) and surface electromyography (EMG). Methods: Nineteen healthy adults participated. The function of their paravertebral muscle was measured in three ways. Maximum endurance time was measured in seconds when 3D-NEWTON was inclined forward for assessing extensor function, and inclined backward for assessing flexor function. Using surface EMG, maximum muscle activity was obtained from the eractor spinae and rectus abdominis during the 3D-NEWTON measurement. Maximum muscle activity was the mean activity from 10 seconds when the root mean squared firing data was highest. Through Biodex the peak torques of the extensor and flexor were measured during isometric exercises. The Spearman correlation coefficiencts from 3D-NEWTON, surface EMG, and Biodex were calculated. Results: The data from surface EMG and Biodex were statistically correlated when measured for flexor function, but less so for extensor function. In the case of 3D-NEWTON, the correlation coefficient with Biodex was 0.50 (p=0.05), while the coefficient with surface EMG was 0.53 (p=0.02) when measured for extensor function. Similarly, the correlation coefficienct with Biodex was 0.60 (p=0.01), while the surface EMG was 0.51 (p=0.03) for flexor function. Conclusion: 3D-NEWTON was a useful method for measuring paravertebral muscle function and can give helpful information for treating people with diseases associated with the lumbar spine.

Background: This study was conducted in order to see if muscle strength is different according to fall experience in female elders by comparing their muscle strength of waist and knee, which is one of factors inducing fall. Method: For this study, 22 female elders aged over 65 sampled from senior centers in D City were surveyed on their fall experiences using a questionnaire asking clinical history. Then, 8 elders with fall experience (FE) and another 8 without (NFE) were selected and participated in the research. Isokinetic muscle strength was measured with isokinetic equipment BIODEX SYSTEM 3 PRO, and the peak torque was obtained from the highest of 9 measurements at angular velocity $60^{\circ}/sec$ according to the method recommended in the manual. Measured items were waist flexion and extension, and knee flexion and extension. Results: The FE group showed higher extensor and flexor muscle strength of the waist, but the difference was not significant (p<.05). In addition, no difference was observed in extensor muscle strength of the knee (p<.05). In flexor muscle strength, however, the FE group was significantly higher than the NFE group (p<.05). Conclusion: The application of regular exercise programs for improving muscle strength, endurance, etc. to those with fall experience will be effective in preventing falls among them.

[Purpose] The study aimed to determine the effects of bone-specific physical activity on body composition, bone mineral density (BMD), and health-related physical fitness in middle-aged women. [Methods] One hundred eighty-six middle-aged women aged 31-49 years participated in this study. The subjects were divided into tertile groups according to the level of physical activity (low-score group, n=62; middle-score group, n=62; high-score group, n=62). Bone-specific physical activity participation was assessed using the bone-specific physical activity questionnaire. Body composition and BMD were measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Health-related physical fitness test included isometric muscle strength (grip strength), muscular endurance (sit-ups), flexibility (sit and reach), and cardiorespiratory fitness (maximal oxygen uptake [VO_2max]). [Results] The high-score group had a significantly higher fat-free mass (p=.045, partial eta-squared value[η_p²]=.033) than the middle- and low-score groups, whereas the high-score group had significantly lower percent body fat (p=.005, η_p²=.056) than the other two groups. Whole-body BMD (p=.034, η_p²=.036) and lumbar BMD (p=.003, η_p²=.060) were significantly higher in the high-score group than in the low-score group. The high-score group performed significantly better for grip strength (p=.0001, η_p²=.101), sit-ups (p=.0001, η_p²=.108), and VO_2max (p=.0001, η_p²=.092) than the other two groups. [Conclusion] The present study suggests that bone-specific physical activity could be useful in improving body composition, BMD, and health-related physical fitness in middle-aged women, significantly enhancing their BMD and health conditions.
