This study is to compare muscle strength between isotonic exercise and isotonic & isokinetic exercise. Participants are 12-man and 10-woman whom they are healthy without medical history in shoulder, elbow and lumbar joint. We performed experiment total 4-weeks that exercise 3-days a week each exercise pattern. We measured shoulder, elbow and lumbar joint torque with BIODEX and circumference of muscle in upper arms once a week. The result showed that isotonic & isokinetic exercise pattern significantly more improved joint torque in shoulder, elbow, lumbar than isotonic exercise pattern. Because that isotonic & isokinetic exercise pattern supplied muscle strengthen and caused muscle contraction. This exercise pattern can be used new exercise training method for major athlete and normal people. Also this pattern can be used rehabilitation treatment.

The purpose of this study was to verify the validation of effect on improvement of muscle strength unbalance according to exercise load deviation during rowing exercise. We performed evaluation of muscular activity and joint torque before the test. We recruited twenty subjects who one side's muscle strength is bigger in more 20% than other side. Subjects divided two groups. One is dominant left side and the other was dominant right side. Subjects performed rowing exercise in electric load deviation rowing equipment (Robo.gym, Humonic Co., Ltd., Daegu, Korea). Exercise performed four sets a day including 25 times a set, and three days a week. Measurements consist of evaluation of muscular activity and joint torque. Exercise load deviation adapted that different value of muscle strength in both arms multiplied 1RM% and added 1RM 50%. The results in adapted load deviation showed that the differences of maximal peak torque in 22.75% were getting increase significantly during exercise in 5.72%. This interpreted that rowing exercise with loading deviation types could provide muscle strength and muscular endurance exercise in same time for balance. Our study found out that loading deviation could provide muscle strength and muscular endurance exercise for improving muscle unbalance.

With an increasing aging population and improved standards of living, more attention has been paid to health. Although walking exercise is known as an aerobic exercise, it imposes repeated and continuous impacts on the joints of the lower extremities. Therefore, when overweight gives a burden to the lower extremity or there is a joint disease, exercise limit occurs. The articular cartilage, weakened with age, also makes it difficult for the elderly to perform walking exercises. Accordingly, this study conducted a comparative analysis between regular walking using only the lower extremity and Nordic walking, which has been known as stable. For analysis, electromyography (EMG) was performed and the ground reaction force of the upper and lower extremities were measured in the same exercise. Integrated EMG (iEMG) revealed that the upper extremity muscles were more active in Nordic walking than in regular walking, where lower extremity muscles were relatively more inactive. In addition, when EMG measurements were performed at each measurement point during walking exercise, the pattern was different. Nevertheless, the result was the same as in iEMG. The load that occurs in each exercise was measured using the ground reaction force system. As a result, Nordic walking had a lower load than regular walking. Therefore, it was found that Nordic walking minimized the load on the lower extremities owing to the effect of whole-body exercise and was a safer and more efficient exercise method.

줄넘기 운동은 간단하면서도 매우 효과적인 운동 효과를 갖고 있지만, 높은 강도의 단조로운 운동 패턴으로 인해 지속적으로 운동을 시행하기 어려운 단점이 있다. 한편 줄넘기를 할 때 수반되는 운동에너지로부터 전기에너지를 생성하는 자가발전이 가능하며, 이전 연구에서 자가발전이 가능한 에너지 자립형 줄넘기로써 그 가능성을 확인한 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 에너지 자립형 줄넘기의 내부에 자체 생산된 전력으로 구동되는 초소형 임베디드 시스템을 내장하여, 줄넘기 운동 중의 가속도를 측정하고 스마트폰으로 무선 전송하도록 하였다. 스마트폰에서는 전용 앱을 통해 전송받은 가속도 데이터로부터 사용자의 점프를 감지하여 음악 줄넘기를 접목한 게임 콘텐츠와 실시간 연동할 수 있도록 하였다. 개발된 스마트 줄넘기 프로토타입은 사용자 테스트를 통해 줄넘기 운동의 지속적인 동기부여 방법으로써 유용함을 확인 할 수 있었으며, 축적된 운동 데이터를 기반으로 사용자에게 체계적인 피드백을 제공함으로써 줄넘기 운동의 효과를 보다 높일 수 있을 것으로 기대한다. 아울러 건전지 교체가 불필요한 에너지 자립 특성은 비용 절감과 더불어 사용성과 지속가능성 향상에도 크게 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

연구배경 : 정상인에서는 운동부하시 증가되는 환기량의 요구를 초기에는 상시호흡량의 증가로 후기에는 호흡수의 증가로 충족시키며, 호흡수 증가에 따라 유발되는 호흡주기의 감소를 보상하기 위해 흡기책임비율이 50% 이상까지 증가하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 반면 만성기도폐쇄 환자에서는 환기능력의 감소와 생리적 사강 호흡의 증가로 인해 최대운동부하시 얕고 빠른 호흡양상을 보인다고 알려져 있지만 책임비율의 변화에 대해서는 연구가 많지 않고 이와 기도폐쇄정도와의 관련성에 대해서는 보고가 없는 실정이다. 방 법 : 12명의 만성기도폐쇄 환자와 10명의 정상인을 대조로 점진적 최대운동부하검사를 실시하였다. 결과 분석은 안정시에서 최대운동부하시점까지의 시간을 100%로 하여 rest, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, max 등% control duration으로 분획한 후 각 시점에서 1분 환기량, 상시호흡량, 호흡수, 생리적 사강비율, 흡기책임비율 등의 지표를 양군 간에 비교하였다. 결 과 : 1분환기량과 상시호흡량의 안정시에서 최대운동시까지의 변화는 양군 간에 유의한 차이가 관찰되었으나 호흡수는 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 생리적사강 비율은 정상대조군에 비해 만성기도폐쇄군에서 그 감소가 유의하게 낮았다. 흡기책임비율은 정상대조군에서 $38.4{\pm}3.0%$에서 $48.6{\pm}4.5%$로 증가한 반면 만성기도폐쇄군에서는 $40.5{\pm}2.2%$에서 $42.6{\pm}3.5%$로 별 변화가 없어 양군간에 유의한 변화의 차이가 있음을 확인할 수 있었고 이러한 흡기책임비율의 변화는 기도폐쇄정도 (FEV1%)와 유의한 상관관계가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. (r=0.8151, p<0.05). 결 론 : 이상의 결과에서 만성기도폐쇄 환자는 최대운동부하시 정상에서 관찰되는 흡기책임비율의 증가가 발생하지 않으며 이는 기도폐쇄의 정도와 유의한 상관성을 갖고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to examine if there is any correlation between pelvic tilt angle and trunk motion and trunk extensor during trunk forward flexion and to measure trunk motion, onset time of trunk motion, and onset time of trunk extensor activation. Methods : The subjects of this study were 42 healthy adults. The subjects had no back pain due to neurological disease and no experience of back surgery. After pelvic tilt angle was measured, each trunk forward flexion was performed three times. Trunk motion and onset time of trunk motion were measured using Myomotion. Four sensors were used, with one located at the upper thoracic (below $C_7$), the lower thoracic ($T_{12}-L_1$), the sacrum ($S_1$), and at the center of the anterior femur. Onset time of trunk extensors (spinalis, longissimus, gluteus medius, gluteus maximus, biceps femoris, and gastrocnemius) activation was measured using a wireless surface EMG. The EMG amplitude was normalized by using the reference voluntary contraction (RVC). The statistical significance of the results were evaluated using Pearson's correlation test. Results : The correlation between pelvic tilt angle and lumbar motion, onset time of pelvis motion, and onset time of gluteus medius activation was statistically significant in a positive direction (p<.05). The correlation between pelvic tilt angle with pelvis motion, onset time of lumbar motion, and onset time of longissimus activation showed a statistically significant negative correlation (p<.05). Conclusion : The study results provide a significant contribution to our understanding of the lumbar load at the initial stage of trunk flexion. Therefore, it may be possible to provide basic data for evaluation and treatment, such as orthodontic treatment for alignment of the spine and back pain. In addition, it is necessary to focus on normal exercise pattern reeducation as well as pelvic correction during exercise in daily life or in industrial fields.
