PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of high intensity intermittent training on cardiopulmonary capacity in canoe and kayak paddlers. METHODS: A total of 16 canoe and kayak paddlers were participated in this study. Experimental group(n=8) was performed high-intensity intermittent training and control group(n=8) was moderate intensity training. All subjects performed a treadmill test in order to compare the difference before and after the intervention. Finishing the test, all subjects were measured to their heart rate(HR), forced vital capacity(FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and forced expiratory ratio(FEV1/FVC). Recovery of heart rate(RHR) was calculated using the HR. HR and pulmonary flow values was measured before and during the intervention period per 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks. To compare the differences over time between experimental group and the control group, used(time${\times}$group) two-way repeated measures ANOVA. One-way repeated ANOVA was performed to determine where differences over time within-group. RESULTS: One-way repeated ANOVA revealed a significant difference in the experimental and control group. In experimental group, %RHR3min and FEV1 were significantly increased after 4 weeks(p<.05). Also, %RHR1min, FVC and FEV1/FVC were significantly increased after 6 weeks(p<.05). In control group, %RHR1min, %RHR3min, FVC, FEV1 and FEV1/FVC were significantly increased after 6 weeks(p<.05). CONCLUSION: Not only moderate training but also high-intensity intermittent training contributes to cardiopulmonary capacity in canoe and kayak paddlers. Although high-intensity intermittent training is very short time, the training has high degree of efficiency. Therefore, developed this training in the future, it will be better to improve the cardiopulmonary capacity for athletes and healthy people.

The purposes of this study is to analyze the effects of repeated mountain trekking experience in adolescent sociality. Fifty-eight adolescents who took part in Baekdu-daegan trekking program were analyzed as research subjects. The subjects were divided for comparative analysis. Those who participated 40 times or more from 2014 to 2015 were designated as repetitive participants, and those who participated 5 times or fewer from March 2016 to April 2016 were designated as temporary participants. The general attributes of the subjects were examined by using descriptive analysis. A correlation analysis was carried out to compute the correlation coefficients between the five sub-components of sociality, and an independent sample t-test was executed for comparative analysis of sociality. The results of the analysis showed that sociality was higher in adolescents who repeatedly participated in trekking. Repetitive participants scored higher than temporary participants in all measures of the sub-components of sociality: autonomy, lawfulness, diligence, cooperativeness, and interpersonal relationships. We have verified positive influence of repetitive trekking experiences based on the research results thus far. Therefore, it supports the need of forest education as a fundamental approach to solving adolescent problems.
