원전에서는 방사성핵종의 체내 섭취에 따른 작업종사자의 내부 방사능을 측정하기 위하여 전신계측기(WBC)를 이용하고 있다. 이 계측기는 인체 내 방사성핵종의 침적위치를 고려하여 다양한 측정 모드를 선택하여 측정할 수 있으나, 대부분 전신 모드를 적용하고 있다. 그런데 전신 모드를 적용한 내부방사능 측정값은 WBC 측정 모드 중에서 가장 보수적인 값을 나타내는 특성이 있고, 따라서 내부피폭 방사선량이 과대평가되는 문제점이 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 WBC, 팬텀, 표준 방사선원을 이용하여 WBC의 측정 모드별 방사능측정 실험을 수행하였다. 이 결과에 대해 통계적 분석방법을 적용하여 WBC의 상부 및 하부 검출기 계측비율에 따라 WBC의 측정 모드를 선정할 수 있는 정량적인 기준을 제시하였다.

다양한 연구결과에도 불구하고 전신진동운동이 인체에 미치는 기전은 명확히 제시되고 있지 않으며, 진동이 하지관절의 운동역학적 변화에 대해 분석한 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 그러므로 이 연구는 어떠한 하지관절의 운동역학적 변인이 수직점프 능력에 영향을 미치는지 분석하고자 한다. 최근 6개월간 하지에 정형외과적 병력이 없는 건강한 성인 남성 5명과 여성 5명은 5분간 30Hz의 전신진동운동을 실시한 전 후로 스쿼트 점프를 각각 3회씩 실시하였고, 수직점프 시 하지관절의 운동역학적 변화를 분석하기 위하여 3D 영상분석 시스템을 활용하였다. 대상자들의 스쿼트 점프 높이는 전신진동운동 처치 이후 향상되는 것으로 나타났으며, 발목과 무릎관절에서 하지관절 모멘트와 파워가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 지면반력 값과 엉덩관절의 모멘트와 파워는 전신진동운동의 처치 전 후에 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 30Hz의 전신진동운동을 실시한 결과 발목과 무릎관절은 진동이 인체내 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나 엉덩관절의 경우 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

The purposes of this study were to determine the functions of actions of the limbs during each of the three support phases of the triple jump and their relationships with the performance of the triple jump. Four elite male triple jumpers were participated as subjects. The statistical analyses used were the Pearson product moment correlation coefficient for establishing relationships and simple regression analyses to determine and compare the relationships between the change of the horizontal velocity and the change of the vertical velocity during different support phases. A level of significance at p<.05 was set. The actions of the arms were responsible for about 25%, 25%, and 30% of the decrease in the horizontal velocity of the whole body center of gravity during the support phases of the hop, step, and jump, respectively. The change in the velocities of the whole body center of gravity due to the actions of the free limbs were significantly related with the whole body center of gravity during each support phase. The action of the support leg was associated with the decrease in the horizontal velocity and the increase in the vertical velocity of the whole body center of gravity during each support phase.

PURPOSE: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of whole body vibration exercise on balance, muscle strength and falls efficacy in the elderly. METHODS: In this blinded randomized allocation study, 27 elderly were assigned to a whole-body vibration exercise group (n=14), consisting of 25 min structured exercises for 2 days per week for 6 weeks and a control group (n=13) performing the same program without vibration. At baseline and after the 6-week intervention, balance was measured using the Korean version of the Berg balance scale (K-BBS), timed up and go (TUG) test and functional reach test (FRT). Muscle strength was determined using the 30-s chair stand test (CST). Fear of falling was assessed using the Korean version of falls efficacy scale (K-FES). Paired t-test and independent t-test were used for within and between group comparisons, respectively. RESULTS: After the intervention, the experimental group showed significantly higher changes in all the parameters (K-BBS score, TUG test, CST, K-FES score) (p<.05) compared with the control group. However, there was no significant change in all parameters in the control group (p>.05). CONCLUSION: The whole-body vibration exercise program may be helpful to improve balance, mobility, muscle performance and fear of falling in the elderly.

We have been researching upgrade version of a stereotactic whole body frame, used for evaluating daily setup accuracy of the patient positioning during fractionated extra-cranial stereotactic radiotherapy. Currently, we are focusing on the development of a new stereotactic whole body frame, and then will handle organ movement produced by breathing at the next stage. MeV-Green is chosen for the best immobilizer possible and the epoxy board is for the frame with the dimension of 110 em in length, 50 cm in width in order to maximize transmission rate of the beam from lateral or posterior direction and to fit CT and PET scanners with an aperture of 55 cm at least. The key point of an upgraded stereotactic whole body frame will be set on the collision-free rotation of the gantry with the frame, and the development of the checking structure for the daily patient repositioning regarding internal target.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of whole-body vibration training on the flexibility and agility of professional soccer players. Methods: Sixteen professional soccer players participated voluntarily in the study. Subjects were allocated to two groups: the experimental group received whole-body vibration (WBV) and team training, and the control group received only team training. Team training was conducted in 15 sessions of 70 min duration over 3 weeks. WBV training was applied at 40 Hz frequency, 5 sets (1 min-training, 1 min-resting) in a squatting position. Outcomes from sit-and-reach, side-step test, burpee test, and T-test were measured before and after training. To examine pre- and post-intervention differences between the two groups, a paired t-test was used. Independent t-tests were performed to compare pre- and post-test scores and the time difference of the two groups. Results: Significant improvements in sit-and-reach and agility variables were observed in the experimental group (p < 0.05). In particular, flexibility (sit-and-reach) and agility (the side-step test and the burpee test) were significantly different between the two groups (p < 0.05). Conclusion: These findings suggest that whole-body vibration training has a positive effect on performance enhancement for professional soccer players.

Objectives: To evaluate the impact of an oral exercise program including whole-body exercises on oral function in older people. Methods: The participants (aged ≥65 years) were divided into three groups: intervention group I (only oral exercise), intervention group II (oral exercise with whole-body exercises), and control group (no intervention). The oral health status, saliva flow rate, and oral muscle strength were evaluated. Analyses were performed to compare the three groups and identify the changes in the aforementioned parameters before and after the program. Results: The saliva flow rate significantly increased in intervention groups I and II after the program. Oral muscle strength evaluation using the Iow a oral performance instrument showed that the anterior tongue strength increased significantly in intervention group I; the posterior tongue strength and cheek strength also increased but not significantly. The anterior tongue, posterior tongue, and cheek strengths significantly increased in intervention group II. Conclusions: The oral exercise program including whole-body exercises showed positive effects on the saliva flow rate and oral strength. No significant differences were observed in the quality of life related to oral health.

This paper reviews the previous researches related to the effects of whole-body vibration on human performance. The physiological effects of vibration were reviewed in the first part, and the effects of vibration on vision and manual control performance were discussed. the relationships between vibration and ride quality were also discussed. ISO-2631 was briefly reviewed, and cautions and limitations were discussed to avoid misinterpretations when we accomodate Korean population to this standard. Further researches were recommended to get better understanding of response characteristics of Korean to whole-body vibration.

A large portion of total energy expenditure associated with ruminant livestock production goes towards maintenance. Approximately 55% of whole body energy use is consumed by visceral tissues (including internal organs) with the majority of this going to the liver and gastrointestinal tract. Muscle and adipose tissues consume about 27% of total body energy expenditure. Metabolic components within the viscera responsible for the majority of energy consumption include ion transport, protein turnover, substrate cycling, and urea synthesis (liver). Within muscle tissue of growing animals ion transport and protein turnover account for most of the energy expenditure. Protein synthesis consumes approximately 23% of whole body energy use and visceral tissues account for proportionally more of whole body protein synthesis than skeletal muscle. Research efforts focused on improving energetic efficiency of the tissues and metabolic mechanisms responsible for the majority of whole animal energy expenditure should provide information leading to more efficient production of an edible product.
