A quasi-experimental study was conducted to investigate the effects of health promotion program on health of the clients with arthritis. In this study. the health promotion program consisted of self appointment and confirmation. discussion, health education. group counsel, and exercise. And the program focused on self - help group meeting. A total of 68 subjects was randomly assigned into either the control group(n = 24) or the intervention group(n =44). The results of the study analyzed using a SPSS win, were as follows: 1) In physical function of physical health. there was a significant improvement in flexibility of the shoulder joint(hold the hand upward and downward behind the back). sit and reach, extension of the knee joint in the intervention group, compared to the control group, while no difference in flexibility of the shoulder joint(raising the arm), flexion of the knee joint, and grip strength. There was a significant improvement in physical functional disability in the intervention group, compared to the control group, but no difference in fatigue and pain. 2) The health promotion program resulted in improvement in psychosocial health(e.g. increase of self-efficacy and decreases of social functional disability) in the intervention group, compared to the control group. It was concluded that the health promotion program(weekly session for 6 weeks) employed in this study was appropriate for the clients with arthritis in primary health care center and had a positive effect on health in general.

Sulfuric acid group을 도입하여 열가소성 폴리우레탄을 제조하였으며, sulfuric acid의 함량을 변경하여 acid 함량에 따른 특성 변화를 연구하였다. 그리고 carboxylic acid를 도입한 폴리우레탄을 제조하여 비교 분석했다. 연구 결과 acid group을 도입함으로써 인장강도, 마모 등 기계적 물성 및 그립 특성이 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, Acid 함량별로 물성을 측정한 결과, 일정한 함량까지 기계적 물성은 증가하며 일정 함량 이상에서는 기계적 물성이 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. Wet slip의 경우 또한 acid group 도입에 의해 친수성이 증가함으로 acid 함량이 증가할수록 wet slip은 증가 하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. Carboxylic acid를 도입한 폴리우레탄과 비교 결과, 수소결합력이 약해 기계적 물성은 낮게 나타났으나 rebounding 특성은 더 높게 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of an 8-week competitive exercise program on physical fitness, psychological variables, and video-game playtime in game-addicted adolescents. Methods: All subjects were screened by a game behavior diagnosis scale questionnaire, and a total of 7 game-addicted, male adolescents ($16{\pm}2$ yrs of age) participated in the study. All subjects were informed of the study's purpose, procedures, and risks, and a consent form was obtained from each subject. The 8-week soccer and basketball exercise program included twice-weekly sessions of 120 minutes per session. All data were presented as $mean{\pm}SE$, and the variables were analyzed with a paired t-test. Results: Following the 8-week intervention, cardiovascular endurance and grip strength were significantly increased (approximately 17 and 7%, respectively [p<0.05]). Although there was no statistical significance on flexibility, vertical jump, and zigzag-run, all variables showed an increasing tendency. Anxiety levels changed from a mild anxiety state to a normal state, and depression levels also altered from moderate to a normal state. The video-game playtime was reduced about 20% during weekends and vacation periods. Conclusion: Given these combined results, 8 weeks of regular participation in competitive exercise (soccer/basketball) may contribute to positive effects on physical fitness, psychological variables, and video-game playtime in computer-game addicted adolescents.

This study was conducted to investigate the correlations among body composition, athletic ability and nutritional status according to BMI in Korean college students. The anthropometric measurements of three groups showed significant differences in weight, body fat, waist, hip, WHR, skinfold thickness(p<0.001). There were significant difference in vitamin A and niacin by their BMI(p<0.05). There were significant increase in trunk flexion(p<0.05) and maximal oxygen uptake(p<0.05) in subjects as their BMI. There were negative correlation between weight and foot balance, maximal oxygen uptake. Also, foot balance and maximal oxygen uptake were negatively related with BMI. There was a significant positive correlation between BMI and flexion(p<0.50). Grip strenth(p<0.01) and back strenth(p<0.05) were positively related with WHR. Overweight group was significantly inferior in muscular power and endurance but was better in muscular strength than the other groups. Based on this study, the further studies on obesity indice are required for health promotion among young women population.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate homebound status and significant related factors for community-dwelling female elders according to age. Methods: The participants were female elders over 65 years of age registered in public health centers. Data were collected by interviewing the elders, who voluntarily completed the entire survey. For data analysis, descriptive statistics and multiple logistic regression were performed using SPSS version 18.0. Results: There were statistically significant differences in homeboundness and related factors between the young-old (65 to 74 years of age) and the old-old (75 years of age or older). The level of homeboundness of the old-old was higher than that of the young-old. Multiple logistic regression showed, timed "up and go", depression, and fear of falling as significantly associated with homebound status of the young-old, while hand grip strength (right), timed "up and go", static balance ability, severity of urinary incontinence, and fear of falling as significant for the old-old. Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that homebound status and related factors for elders are different according to age, and therefore, interventions to prevent and help homebound elders get over being homebound should be developed according to age.

In this study, we tested anti-fatigue effect of Kyung-Ok-Ko (KOK). We examined the exercise performance effects of KOK (600 mg/kg) at 2nd, 3rd and 4th week. The exercise performance of KOK treated group was significantly improved than that of vehicle control (VC) group on grip strength (2nd week), exhausted time of treadmill (3rd week) and exhausted time of weight loaded swimming (4th week). We also investigated the effects of KOK on the change of fatigue parameters in blood, skeletal muscle and liver after swimming exercise. KOK significantly reduced lactate level and enhanced glucose level in blood. Equally KOK significantly increased glycogen in skeletal muscle. However, the glycogen level of KOK in the liver was not significantly increased compared to VC group. These results show that supplementation of KOK may improve the anti-fatigue activity and exercise capacity.

The purpose of this study was to develop a checklist of risk factors for quantitative assessment of musculoskeletal complaints in shipbuilding workers. A key point was to develop comprehensive a checklist including the worker's physical ability, as ergonomic and workload factors. ln the first, through correlation analysis between musculoskeletal complaints and physical abilities in shipbuilding workers, risk factors related to physical abilities were selected. In the second, after the development of a checklist was composed of physical, ergonomic and workload factors, factor analysis was used to test the validity of the developed checklist. Each factors selected finally showed that physical factors were hand grip strength, spinal curvature, and flexibility (sit to reach), ergonomic factors were posture, total exposed time, duration, and force of working, and workload factors were physical and psychological workload perceived by worker. The results showed that musculoskeletal complaints was associated with physical abilities (p<.05). The developed checklist had a reliability of .761 (Cronbach=.761) and a validity and explanation of 54.9%. The criterion of management was classified in 4 stages by relative weights of each factor. It is suggested that active intervention is needed to reduce musculoskeletal complaints in workers with more than a 14.31 score.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to determine the changes that occur due to the real-time monitoring of paddle pressures which has an important influence on the defibrillation success rate in defibrillation treatment known as the only treatment for cardiac arrest patients with VF. Methods : 40 people participated in the cardiac arrest simulation training and played the role of the defibrillation operator. Investigators measured the pressure of paddle while defibrillating by using instrument which was developed by the investigator. Results : Through real-time monitoring of the paddle pressures of defibrillator by indicator, the front sternum paddle showed a 77.5% success rate and the apex paddle showed a 40% success rate. While the values without monitoring the paddle pressures, the front sternum paddle showed a 51% success rate and the apex paddle showed a 20% success rate. These experiment revealed statistically significant(p <.001) low success rate. Conclusion : The method of monitoring the paddle pressures during defibrillation showed that the paddle can be precisely gripped. The success rate of paddle pressures is significantly correlated with height, weight and grip strength.

Due to its profound intestinal first-pass metabolism, oral eperisone hydrochloride produces a very low bioavailability and a very short muscle relaxant activity. To improve the efficacy and compliance of eperisone, we designed a new dosage form, the transdermal patch and evaluated the muscle relaxant effects of this patch in rats. The muscle relaxant activity was assessed by measurement of forelimb grip strength and hanging test in rats. The transdermal patch of eperisone hydrochloride showed significant muscle relaxant activity at 0.5, 1.5 and 3 cm$^2$/200 g rat (1.39, 4.17 and 8.33 mg of eperisone hydrochloride/kg, respectively) in a dose-dependent manner and the effects were lasted over 24 hours. The oral eperisone hydrochloride showed significant activity at 12.5, 25 and 50 mg/kg in a dose-dependent manner but the activity was within 1 or 2 hours after administration. These results suggest that the eperisone hydrochloride is absorbed efficiently from transdermal patch and the patch can exert potent and long-lasting muscle relaxant activity. This transdermal patch will increase the efficacy and compliance in the clinical use of eperisone hydrochloride.
