  • In Chinese medicine, the activities of removing and solving the inner cause are called the regimen in preventing the disease and the good condition of mind emphasizes us to practice ourselves the doctrine of regimen of the mind to promote the health and long life of the living body, in other words, it means we should have clean mind, less desire, less thought, less agony and widely open our emotion and will, and it also means the raising of good nature, the moral cultivation, and we can be healthy when we live by good virtus as the root of regiem. The meaning of the Qi has been expanded more and more since its origination throught the process of practice and perception of man. 1) Matter is changed to the smoke when burned, the energy of water becomes the rain in the sky and the rain raises all living creatures by making them wet. Throught these changes of circulation, men could realize the energy to be the common and original matter of forming all the creatures. 2) The direction of showing the breathing of men in and out has been expended. 3) It was widely understood as the meaning of showing vitality of men, and it was the original root of chinese medicine. 4) It was expended to be showing spirit of nature such as the sun, moon, star, sky, land, mountain and the moral spirit of men as peacefullness. By the original meaning of the word of energy expanded to the wider side of sky, land, men and things, nature, society, man and the moral spirit could get the unified basis of the matter. As the above, the word of Qi has been used in wider meaning at this time from the past. In other words, all things in the universe come into being and extinct by the chang of motion of the Qi and it is recognized to be the living activity in human body. The Qi-kong based on this energy and the motion applied to our daily life are very extensive (Lee, Hye - lung, 1997). Here are the summaries of the effect of the Qi-kong ; 1) The physical constitution is strenthened, physiological function is prosperous and we are free from various geriatric disease and psychosomatic disease not to mention the cold and indigestion. 2) It maintains the clear spirit, elevates intelligence, strengthens the spiritual power and demonstrates the potentiality at the amximum. 3) It maintain beautiful figure and clean skin never losing the charm but full of energy and vitality. 4) It keeps the balanced body never suffering from the unbalance of the bones, various and neuralgia. 5) It maintain the spiritual comfort, the natural posture in everything and real happiness (Lee, Hye-Jung, 1997 : Suh, Yong Kyu, 1989). Chinese medicine mentions the motion by Qi with Qi - kong. But the motion does not require special method in Western medicine. I t is the only way of living of our ancestor indaily life. It is maintaining the healthy lifr by training the Qi, and it is the motion of being with the nature with the open mind in breathing rather than artificially restricting our daily life, it is the motion of the body.

  • 본 연구는 건강보험공단의 기준에 의해 부분도움 또는 완전도움이 필요한 등급을 받은 정신적, 신체적 기능장애를 가진 노인을 대상으로, 고무의 탄성을 이용하여 관절과 근육이 무리를 덜 주는 저항성 운동프로그램들 개발하고, 이 운동이 노인의 보행능력, 균형능력 및 근력 향상에 미치는 효과를 분석한 연구이다. 경기, 충청권의 주간보호센터 세 곳을 대상으로 노인들 58명에게 12주간의 운동 프로그램을 진행한 후, 운동 참여 전과 후의 수치에 대해 종속 t-검증을 실시하였다. 그 결과 전체 참여자들이 보행능력, 균형능력, 근력에서 평균적인 향상을 보였다. 특히 모든 등급에서 검증된 균형능력의 유의한 향상(p<.01)은 균형능력이 일상생활 능력을 향상시키고 낙상 위험을 감소시킨다는 측면에서 노인 삶의 질 향상의 의미가 크다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 운동프로그램을 전체 노인으로 대상을 확대하고 활성화시킨다면, 건강한 노인이 치료가 필요한 취약계층으로 이동하는 것을 방지하고 허약노인이 장애노인으로 진행되는 것을 지연시킬 수 있어 개인적, 국가적 손실을 최소화할 수 있는 예방적 방법 중 하나가 될 것으로 기대된다.

  • The purpose of this study was diagnosed to grasp the needs for the elderly-elderly care activity in rural areas. The research was conducted in questions and case studies in 7 farming villages. The major findings of this study as follows: First, the senior citizens in rural areas were not in good health, and the illnesses were revealed to be arthritis, high blood pressure, and diabetes. At the occurrence of an illness, they complained about the discomfort in doing daily life routines and expected eir spouses or offsprings to te care of them. Elders in the rural community responded that they had difficulty and financial problems in family maintenance. Leisure activities included watching TV, playing card/board games, or spending time without any specific activities. Second, recipients of elderly-elderly care expected to receive services from a woman in her 50s $1{\sim}2$ hours, once to twice a week. Third, the service providers wanted to be elderly-elderly care takers, hoping to work once a week for $2{\sim}3$ hours. They wanted the education for the elderly-elderly care to be once a week for 3 hours, with understanding the elderly, consultation, preventing senile dementia, and health as the contents.

  • We studied the antioxidant, the anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic, and antiobesity activities of seven different kinds of edible plants. 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and ABTS radical scavenging activities were determined as a measurement of antioxidant activity. NO production inhibition by the macrophage cell line (Raw 264.7) treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was carried out to assess anti-inflammatory activity. Thrombin inhibitory activity was measured for its antithrombotic function and inhibition of 3T3-L1 cell differentiation was evaluated as a measurement of antiobesity activity. Total phenolic components and total flavonoid contents were measured to determine functional materials in medicinal plants. Common sage, Japanese lady bell, and hairy agrimony showed high antioxidant activity ($IC_{50}$) of less than $100{\mu}g/mL$. All samples used in this study showed anti-inflammatory activity. Common sage, hairy agrimony, and hooker chives showed antithrombotic effects. Hairy agrimony showed the highest antithrombotic effect (98.1%). Common sage, Japanese lady belly, hairy agrimony, and hooker chives showed reduced 3T3-L1 cell differentiation and hooker chives strongly inhibited lipid accumulation in the cells compared to other medicinal plants. Common sage and hairy agrimony contained more than 1 mg GAE/g of phenolic compounds and more than 1 mg CE/g of flavonoids. Functional activities were different by plant part and extraction method from each sample. These results suggest that common sage, Japanese lady belly, hairy agrimony, and hooker chives may be used as healthy food sources with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic, and antiobesity activities, and appropriate extracting methods from each plant need to be developed.

  • The purpose of this study is to provide the basic data for the leisure space planning desirable for adolescents through survey on their using leisure space. Four hundred sixty-six middle and high school students living in Chongju city, Gwesan-gun and Eumsung-gun responded the first basic questionnaire and 160 students among them answered again the second questionnaire for more information on the site of leisure space they want. Frequency, percentage, $x^2-test$ and Multi-Dimensional Scale were methods of analysis. The results are as follows. Adolescents are wasting their leisure time because of insufficient facilities for productive activities. They use the time, when observed in one week, roaming around downtown, studying in off-school academies, visiting shops and playing in the game rooms. And when observed in a month, they use time meeting friends in coffee shops, visiting restaurants, studying in the libraries, playing in the ground and visiting sports facilities. Adolescents' leisure time were different according to sex, age, father's educational level, mother's occupation, household income, and living area. Students hoped the leisure spares to be located in the neighborhood where they can access easily, and facilities they wanted were small shop-buildings, game rooms, off-school academies, schools, sports facilities, studying moms and libraries. It is necessary that adolescents have opportunities to learn how to use their leisure time healthy in the leisure space. And consideration on adolescents living in the remote rural area have to be dealt importantly in the beginning of various planning.

  • 본 연구에서는 다자유도 동적 하네스 시스템을 개발하고 동적 하네스 체중지지에 따른 인체 영향평가를 하고자 한다. 건강한 성인 남성 20명을 대상으로 실험을 진행하였으며 평지보행, 앉기, 서기, 계단 오르기, 계단 내려오기 5가지 일상생활 동작을 수행하였다. 일상생활 동작 수행 시 각 피험자 체중의 0%, 30%, 50%에서의 근육 활성도와 족압 분포를 측정하였다. 근육 측정부위는 대퇴직근, 대퇴이두근, 전경골근, 외측 비복근이다. 하네스 체중지지율 증가에 따라 족압의 평균값은 전체적으로 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 평지보행에서는 체중지지율 증가에 따른 전족부의 압력의 감소폭이 크게 나타났으며 비복근과 대퇴이두근의 활성 감소를 보였다. 앉기 동작에서는 후족부의 족저 압력 감소폭이 크게 나타났으며 체중지지율에 따라 전경골근의 근육 활성이 감소하였다. 계단 내려오기 동작에서는 체중지지율 증가에 따라 전족부의 압력이 크게 감소하였고 대퇴직근의 활성감소가 크게 나타났다. 의자에서 일어나기동작과 계단 오르기 동작에서는 동적 하네스 체중지지효과가 미비하였으며 이는 속도가 건강한 성인 남성의 동작 수행 속도보다 느리기 때문이다. 후속 연구에서는 본 시스템을 개선하기 위한 연구가 지속되어져야 할 것이다.
