Purpose: This study aimed to develop an app-based self-management program based on the transtheoretical model (TTM) for breast cancer survivors' exercise practice, as well as to investigate the program's effects on the stage of change for exercise, exercise self-efficacy, exercise decisional balance, exercise amount, and body composition. Methods: This non-randomized controlled study included 52 participants (26 in each of the experimental and control groups, respectively). An app-based self-management program based on the TTM was conducted with the experimental group for a 12-week period. The program comprised three components: individual coaching for each stage of change for exercise based on TTM, amount of exercise and body composition monitoring, and online self-help meetings. Results: Compared with the control group, the experimental group had significantly higher stages of change for exercise (p < .001), exercise self-efficacy (p < .001), exercise decisional balance (p = .002), exercise amount (p < .001), and body composition (body weight [p = .006], body mass index [p = .005], and body fat percentage [p = .010]) immediately and four weeks after the intervention. Conclusion: An app-based self-management program based on the TTM improves exercise behaviors in breast cancer survivors and provides physical benefits.

This study focusses on the development of a motion-sensing smart leggings prototype with the help of a module that monitors motion using a fiber-type stretch sensor. Additionally, it acquires data on Electrocardiogram (ECG), respiration, and body temperature signals, for the development of smart clothing used in online exercise coaching and customized healthcare systems. The research process was conducted in the following order: 1) Fabrication of a fiber-type elastic strain sensor for motion monitoring, 2) Positioning and attaching the sensor, 3) Pattern development and three-dimensional (3D) design, 4) Prototyping 5) Wearability test, and 6) Expert evaluation. The 3D design method was used to develop an aesthetic design, and for sensing accurate signal acquisition functions, wearability tests, and expert evaluation. As a result, first, the selection or manufacturing of an appropriate sensor for the function is of utmost importance. Second, the selection and attachment method of a location that can maximize the function of the sensor without interfering with any activity should be studied. Third, the signal line selection and connection method should be considered, and fourth, the aesthetic design should be reflected along with functional verification. In addition, the selection of an appropriate material is important, and tests for washability and durability must be made. This study presented a manufacturing method to improve the functionality and design of smart clothing, through the process of developing a prototype of motion-sensing smart leggings.

한국은 고령화 사회에 접어들었으며, 노인의 일상생활에 직접적인 영향을 주는 근골격계는 근육운동과 유연성이 필수적이다. 특히 요가는 정신과 신체를 완화시키고 스트레스 대처 능력을 향상시킨다. 이에 요가와 관련된 키워드를 알아보기 위해 뉴스분석시스템인 빅카인즈(BIGKinds)에서 제공하는 신문기사를 활용하여 2019년 1월 1일부터 2021년 12월 31일까지의 기사를 수집하였으며, 월별 키워드 분석과 가중도에 따른 관계도 분석을 실시하였다. 결론적으로 첫째, 요가는 계절로 볼 때 봄과 가을에 관심이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 최근 요가는 비대면 방식을 통해서 실시되고 있으며, 다양한 SNS를 활용하여 운영되고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 요가를 지도하는 요가강사, 트레이너의 관련 기사가 높게 나타났으며, 이에 따라 온라인 지도의 중요성과 관심도를 알 수 있다. 향후 요가 관련 운동프로그램 개발과 국민 생활체육 발전을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 것을 기대한다.
