This study aimed to investigate the effect of the abdominal drawing-in maneuver (ADIM) and abdominal expansion maneuver (AEM) on trunk stabilization, as well as trunk muscle activities and differences in quadruple visual analogue scale, Korean Oswestry Disability Index, and Fear Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire scores, in patients with chronic low back pain and lumbar spine instability. To increase intra-abdominal pressure during the trunk stabilization exercise, the technique of pushing the abdomen out using diaphragmatic abdominal breathing suggested by Pavel Koral was used, which we termed the AEM. Fifty patients who tested positive on more than three of the five lumbar spine instability tests were separated from 138 patients with chronic low back pain of these patients, 16 were placed in the control group (trunk stabilization exercise), 17 were placed in the ADIM group (trunk stabilization exercise with ADIM), and 17 were placed in the AEM group (trunk stabilization exercise with AEM). Each group participated in the study for 30 minutes three times weekly for 4 weeks. Surface electromyography was used to measure the trunk muscle activities during the kneeling forward and supine bridging positions, and one-way repeated analysis of variance was used to determine the statistical significance of the trunk muscle activities in the rectus abdominis, internal oblique (IO), erector spinae, and multifidus (MF) muscles. The ADIM and AEM groups showed relatively larger improvements in psychosocial and functional disability level than control group. There were significant changes among the three groups, those from the measured values of the AEM group was significantly higher than the other two groups in changes in IO and MF trunk muscle activities (p<.05). This finding demonstrates that trunk stabilization exercises with AEM is more effective than ADIM for increasing trunk deep muscle activity of chronic low back pain patients with lumbar spine instability.

Background : Pulmonary rehabilitation, called pulmonary rehab or PR, is a broad program that helps improve the well-being of people who have chronic (ongoing) breathing problems. Purpose : The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the effects of the upper abdominal exercise and balloon blow-up on the abdominal muscle strength and Respiratory ability for 20's adults. Method : Recruited Subjects were healthy students attending H university. Twenty-one subjects who agreed to participate in this study were randomly assigned to 3 groups; I group applied upper abdominal exercise, IIgroup applied balloon blow-up, III group applied both upper abdominal exercises and balloon blow-ups. Upper abdominal muscle exercises was applied supine position and $30^{\circ}{\sim}40^{\circ}$ in the upper body lift braced for about 3 seconds, and balloon blow-ups was performed 10 times a day. The exercise programs were performed three times a week for 5 weeks. Results: After 5 weeks of exercises, all three groups were comparable with abdominal muscle strength and respiratory ability. Subjects in upper abdominal exercise group, balloon blow-ups group, and upper abdominal exercises and balloon blow-ups group had significantly increased the average of abdominal muscle strength(p<.05) The statistical comparison among the groups indicated that there was a signigicant increase in respiratory ability. In comparison of abdominal muscle strength and respiratory ability, there were no significant differences among 3 groups. Conclusions: These findings suggest that upper abdominal exercises and balloon blow-ups may have a significant impact in abdominal muscle strength and respiratory ability.

The fit of a respirator to the face of an individual can be determined by a qualitative fit test (QLFT) or a quantitative fit test (QNFT). The pass/fail decision from a QLFT or QNFT for the same respirator on the same individual may vary from one wearing to the next, because the human facial features are complex and the respirator may not fit to the face in the same way every time it is worn. This study reports how the fit factors (FF) resulting from a QNFT on an individual vary from day to day and depend on the movements in the six fit test exercises. The reported FFs provide an objective and numerical basis (FF) which does not depend on the subject's voluntary or involuntary response. Four half-mask (H1-H4) and four full-facepiece respirators (F1-F4) were fit tested on one wearer 10 times a day for 5 days with a PortaCount (model 8010, TSI). The FFs obtained for each set of 10 fit tests on a specific day and 50 fit tests on five days involving one of the six exercise regimes have been recorded as log-normal distributions. All of the geometric standard deviations (GSD) of the overall FFs varied widely among every wearing and day except for H1 and F3, and the variability of the half-mask respirators was larger than that of the full-facepiece respirators. Among the six exercise regimes, reading or talking (RT) had markedly the lowest exercise FFs on the tested individual. Generally, there were significant differences between the first normal breathing (NB1) FFs and the remaining exercise FFs.

산소공급은 신체 요구 중 가장 기본적인 것이다. 호흡은 뇌의 연수(medulla oblongata)에 있는 호흡중추와 폐의 정상적 기능에 의해 조절된다. 즉 폐와 환경 사이의 공기 이동인 외 호흡과 헤모글로빈과 단세포 사이의 세포수준에서의 산소 이동인 내 호흡을 말한다. 성인의 호흡수는 보통 1분에 15-20회이나 연령, 운동, 기온, 심리적 변호, 질병상태, 대기의 산소 함량, 약물 투여 등에 따라 차이가 난다. 호흡측정은 대상자가 쉬고 있을 때 하는 것이 중요하다. 호흡 측정은 측정하고 있다는 사실을 대상자가 모르도록 기술적으로 해야한다. 현재 사용하는 방법은 주의를 끌지 않도록 대상자의 팔목에 손을 댄 채로 맥박을 측정한 바로 직후 계속해서 대상자의 가슴의 움직임을 관찰하면서 호흡을 측정하는 것이다. 본 논문에서 구현하고자 하는 것은 관성의 오차 및 압력의 오차에 영향을 거의 받지 않는, 그리고 반영구적으로 사용이 가능한 초음파 센서를 이용한 임베디드 환경의 호흡 량 측정기이다.

These days many p대ple are disterbed from eyestrain and the number is on the increase. So, through the oriental and occidental books I studied pysical and breathing exercises to help overcome eyestrain. The result were as follows; 1. The most common way is to close your eyes and rub them with warm palms. Then press or rub your eyeballs simultaneously. 2. There are two ways to exercise the eyeball by itself. One way is by looking at only one spot and the other way is to look four ways-first up, down, left and right-and then rotate right and left. 3. There are many different opinions that of the degree of strenth to be used in pressing the eyeball. I came to the conclusion that if we want to relex the eyeball, you must press it gently but to strenthen it, you must press it hard. 4. This method is a common way to press orbit or acupuncture points of the peripheral eyeball. For example B-1(晴明), S-2(四白), B-2(찬죽), Tae-Yang(太陽), TE-23(絲竹空), etc. 5. Since eyestrain is related to the whole body, it is known that you can relex your whole body by pressing the acupuncture points located in the head and posteriores cerviicis or by stretching the upper half of the body. 6. The best time to pratice is early in the morning or when you feel eyestrain. But I couldn't find a consistent on breathing method or the amount of time to practice.

Background : Qigong is an exercise therapy based on the principles of Traditional East Asian Medicine. The exercises combine the practice of motion and breathing, both guided by mental imagery. Beneficial effects of qigong have been reported on a variety of complaints in chronically ill patients and on gait imbalance in the elderly. Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects neurophysiological function, movement abilities, and quality of life. Objectives : We developed a qigong program based on the Traditional East Asian medical theory regarding the improvement of clinical symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Methods and Results : Our qigong program consists of three parts. The first one includes movements which stimulate the meridians that run from the toes to the top of the head. The second one is composed of breathing and qigong movements that create harmony and balance with the circulation of Qi and blood on the Meridians. The third is a stage of finger pressure therapy and massage from Daoyin medical qigong to maintain meridian stability. Conclusions : These qigong program would help relieve the clinical symptoms of Parkinson's disease patients.

Oxygen consumption, pulmonary ventilation, heart rate, and breathing frequency were measured on 8 men walking on a treadmill carrying load of 9 kg on hand, back, or head. Besides measurements were made on subjects carrying loads of 2.6 kg each on both feet. The speed of level walking was 4, 5, and 5.5km/hr and a fixed speed off km/hr with grades of 0, 3, 6, and 9%. Comparisons were made between free walking without load and walking with various types of loads. The following results were obtained. 1. In level or uphill walking the changes in oxygen consumption, pulmonary ventilation, breathing frequency and heart rate were smallest in back load walking, and largest in hand load walking. The method of back load was most efficient and hand load was the least efficient. The energy cost in head load walking was smaller than that of in hand load walking. It was assumed that foot load costed more energy than hand load. 2. In level walking the measured parameters increased abruptly at the speed of 5.5 km/hr. Oxygen consumption in a free walking at 4 km/hr was 11.4ml/kg b.wt., and 13.1 ml/kg b.wt. 5.5 km/hr, and in a hand load walking at 4 km/hr was 13.9, and 18.8 ml/kg b. wt. at 5.5 km/hr. 3. In uphill walking oxygen consumption and other parameters increased abruptly at the grade of 6%. Oxygen consumption at 4 km/hr and 0% grade was 11.4 ml/kg b. wt., 13.6 at 6% grade, and 16.21/kg b. wt. at 9% grade in a free walking. In back load walking oxygen consumption at 4km/hr and 0% grade was 12.3 ml/kg b.wt.,14.9 at 6% grade, and 18.7 ml/kg b.wt. In hand load walking the oxygen consumption was the greatest, namely, 13.9 at 0% grade, 17.9 at 6%, and 20.0 ml/kg b. wt. at 9% grade. 4. Both in level and uphill walking the changes in pulmonary ventilation and heart rate paralleled with oxygen consumption. 5. The changes in heart rate and breathing frequency in hand load were characteristic. Both in level and uphill walk breathing frequency increased to 30 per minute when a load was held on hand and showed a small increase as the exercise became severe. In the other method of load carrying the Peak value of breathing frequency was less than 30 Per minute. Heart rate showed 106 beats/minute even at a speed of 4 km/hr when a load was held on hand, whereas, heart rate was between, 53 and 100 beats/minute in the other types of load carriage. 6. Number of strides per minute in level walking increased as the speed increased. At the speed floater than 5 km/hr number of strides per minute of load carrying walk was greater than that of free walking. In uphill walk number of strides per minute decreased as the grade increased. Number of strides in hand load walk was greatest and back load walk showed the same number of strides as the free walk.

국내 중고교 엘리트 사이클 선수를 대상으로 점진부하 운동 시 유산소반응과 폐환기 반응을 분석하는데 목적을 두었다. 남자 사이클 선수($17{\pm}1$ 세, $175{\pm}5\;Cm$, $70{\pm}9\;kg$) 12명이 신체계측, 점진부하 운동 검사, 폐기능 검사에 참여하였다. 사이클 에르고미터를 이용한 점진부하 운동 중 이들의 최대산소섭취량($VO_2max$)과 최대파워 (Wmax), 환기량, 산소 및 이산화탄소호흡당량($V_E/VO_2$, $V_E/VCO_2$), 호흡율, 일회호흡량 등이 측정되었다. 호흡반응의 시간변인으로 흡기시간(Ti), 호기시간(Te), 일회호흡시간(Tb), 흡기의무사이클(Ti/Tb), 흡기율($V_T$/Ti)이 분석되었다. 폐기능으로는 폐활량, 일초호기량, 일초율, 최대호기량 등이 측정되었다. 선수들은 최대운동시 $57.5{\pm}3.9\;ml{\cdot}kg^{-1}{\cdot}min^{-1}$의 $VO_2max$, $194.1{\pm}8.6\;beat{\cdot}min^{-1}$의 최대심박수를 보였으며, Wmax 는 평균 452 W에 도달하였다. $VO_2max$은 신체계측 변인들과 상관관계를 보이지 않았다. 대부분의 환기반응은 운동강도가 점차적으로 증가하면서 동반 증가하였다. 운동강도의 증가와 함께 Ti, Te, Tb는 감소하였으며, Ti/Tb는 대략적으로 일정하게 유지되었다. 250 W 이하에서 신장, 체중, 신체질량지수, 체표면적은 $V_T$/Ti 그리고 Ti/Tb 와 높은 상관관계를 나타냈다(p<0.05). 결과적으로, 엘리트 사이클 선수들의 최대유산소능력은 성인에 비해 낮은 것으로 보이며, 이는 성인과 호흡조절 양상이 다른 것으로 추정된다. 신체계측 변인은 $VO_2max$와 상관성이 존재하지 않았다. 호흡반응의 시간 변인은 운동강도 250 W 이하에서만 체격과 연관성을 가지는 것으로 보인다. 흡기율은 어린 선수들의 운동지속시간과 연관 있어 보이지만, 흡기의무사이클은 성인과 유사한 것으로 보인다.

생리적 특성이 독특한 횡경막의 운동시 당원이 용양상과 운동 후 경구 투여한 당이 당원으로 재축적되는 과정을 적색비복근과 비교하여 횡경막의 생리적 특성의 일단을 규명하고자 시도한 연구 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 대조군에서 횡경막의 당원농도는 적색비복근보다 높은 경향을 보였으며, 운동군에서 운동부하 첫 1시간에 횡격막의 당원농도는 약 1/2로 감소하였고 그 후 지속되는 1시간동안에는 별 차이를 보이지 않았으며 적색비복근의 당원농도와는 유의한 차이를 발견할 수 없었다. 그러나 당원 감소속도를 분석한 결과 횡격막이 적색비복근보다 빠른 경향을 보였다. 횡격막의 당원 재축적량 및 재축적속도를 분석한 결과 운동부하군에서 최대축적량은 적색비복근보다 낮았으며 재축적속도는 대조군에서는 양근에서 비슷하였으나 운동부하군에서는 적색비복근이 빨랐다. 당투여에 의한 골격근의 당원축적은 주로 근원섬유사이에 분포함을 전자현미경 관찰을 통해서 알 수 있었다. 이상의 결과로 미루어보아 횡격막은 운동부하시 당원의 소모는 비교적 빠른 경향이었으나 당투여에 의한 재축적은 느린 것을 알 수 있었다.
