본 연구는 40세 이상 중년의 남자 근로자 253명을 대상으로 신체 적합도 및 여가중 신체 활동과 혈중 지질 중 심혈관질환 발생에 특히 중요한 혈중 총콜레스테롤 값, HDL 콜레스테롤 값 및 총콜레스테롤/HDL 콜레스테롤 비와의 관련성을 알아 보기 위하여 시도된 단면조사연구이다. 단순분석에서 혈중 총콜레스테롤 값과 유의한 상관 관계가 있는 변수는 신체 적합도(r=-0.27), 비만지수(r=0.27)였다. 여가중 신체 활동은 총콜레스테롤 값이 170mg/dl 이상군에서만 총콜레스테롤 값과 유의한 상관관계(r= -0.20)가 있었다. HDL 콜레스테롤 값과 유의한 상관관계가 있는 변수들은 신체 적합도(r=0.15), 비만지수(r=-0.22)및 1주간 음주량(r=0.14)이였다. 총콜레스테롤/HDL 콜레스테롤 비와 유의한 상관관계가 있는 변수들은 신체 적합도(r=0.23), 비만지수(r=0.32), 총흡연지수(r=0.13), 1주간 음주량(r=-0.13) 및 야채 선호도(r=0.13)이었다. 신체 적합도는 안정시 맥박수와 중등도의 상관관계(r=-0.66)가 있었고, 여가중 신체 활동(r=0.19)및 비만지수(r=-0.18)와도 유의한 상관관계가 있었다. 다중회귀분석(Multiple linear regression) 결과 혈중 총콜레스테롤 값과 유의한 관련성을 보이는 변수는 신체 적합도(beta=-0.23)와 비만지수(beta=0.18)이었다. HDL 콜레스테롤 값과 유의한 관련성을 보이는 변수는 비만지수(beta=-0.25)뿐이었다. 총콜레스테롤/HDL 콜레스테롤 비와 유의한 관련성을 보이는 변수는 비만지수(beta=0.30)와 신체 적합도(beta=-0.16) 및 야채선호도(beta=0.14)이었다. 결론적으로 중년 남성 근로자들에서 신체 적합도는 비만지수와 함께 혈중 총콜레스테롤 값, HDL 콜레스테롤 값, 총콜레스테롤/HDL 콜레스테롤 비의 중요한 관련 요인이었다. 여가중 신체 활동은 혈중 총콜레스테롤 값이 170mg/dl 이상인 군에서만 혈중 총콜레스테롤 값과 관계가 있었고, 신체 적합도와는 관련성이 유의하지만 크지 않았다. 따라서 신체 적합도가 여가중 신체 활동보다 혈중 지질 농도의 더 중요한 관련요인이며, 앞으로 신체 활동에 관련된 역학적 연구에서 신체 적합도가 독립적이고 중요한 요인으로 추가되어야 할 것이다.

본 연구에서는 초등학교 4-6학년을 대상으로 첫째, 비만도에 따른 아동의 심리사회적 적응과 체력 수준의 차이를 밝히고, 둘째, 비만도와 체력이 과체중 이상 아동의 심리사회적 적응에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 과체중 이상 아동은 '한국 비만 아동의 신체 활동과 건강(KOCPA)' 연구의 비만 캠프 프로그램에서, 대조군 아동은 서울 시내 초등학교에서 표준 성장도표의 체질량지수를 기준으로 모집되었다. 심리사회적 변인으로 자아 효능감 검사(식이 자아 효능감, 체중 조절 효능감, 신체 효능감), 자아개념검사, 소아용 삶의 질 검사가 사용되었으며, 신체 계측 및 체력은 직접 측정되었다. 연구 결과, 비만도가 증가할수록 심리사회적 적응과 체력 수준이 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 과체중 및 비만 아동은 정상체중 대조군에 비해 유의하게 낮은 효능감 및 자아개념, 삶의 질을 보고하였다. 과체중 및 비만 아동을 대상으로 심리사회적 적응에 비만도와 체력, 두 변인의 상호작용이 미치는 영향을 알아본 결과, 체력이 좋을수록 높은 체중조절 효능감, 신체 효능감, 삶의 질이 예측되었다. 또한 비만도와 체력의 상호작용 효과가 비만 아동의 자아개념 수준을 예측하였는데, 이는 비만도가 그리 높지 않은 아동들은 체력 수준의 향상이 자아개념을 유지할 것이라고 예측 가능하지만 비만도가 상대적으로 매우 높을 경우에는 우선적으로 비만도의 감소가 우선적으로 이루어져야 함을 시사한다. 본 결과를 바탕으로 본 연구의 함의와 한계점에 대해 논의하였다.

This study was done to investigate levels of physical fitness, self efficacy(SE), instrumental activities of daily living(IADL), and quality of life (QL), and their relationships among the elderly Data were collected from 47 noninstitutionalized elderly dwell-ing in their own homes and 43 institutionalized elderly living in homes for older people. The ages of the subjects were 65 years and over. The data were col lected from January 20th to February 20th, 1995. Physical fitness was measured with T.K. K dyna mometer, grip dynamometer, stop watch, and Purdue pegboard. Structured questionnaires developed by Kim by Lawton & Brody, and by Ro were adopted to measure SE, IADL, and QL, respectively. The data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficients. The results were as follows : 1. The noninstitutionalized elderly had higher scores in such measures of physical fitness as body weight, skinfold thickness, flexibility and coordination as compared to the institutionalized elderly. 2. On the following measures of physical fitness, men showed higher levels than women ; in height when standing, height when sitting, body weight, and muscle strength. Women had more trunk flexibility than men. 3. Muscle strength was positively correlated with height when standing, height when sitting, and body weight. The following measures of physical fitness, muscle strength, flexibility and coordi nation, were negatively correlated with "up and go”. 4. The noninstitutionalized elderly had higher scores in SE(t=2.28, p<0.05), IADL(t=2.24, p<0.05), and QL(t=2.41, p<0.05) as compared to the institutionalized elderly. 5. SE was positively correlated with both IADL(r=0.41, p<0.001) and QL(r=0.54, p<0.001), and the latter two variables were a positively correlated (r=0.30, p<0.001). 6. SE was positively correlated with the physical fitness measures of height when standing, body weight, strength of leg muscles, strength of back muscles, grip strength, and level of touching the floor, but negatively correlated with "up and go”. 7. Positive correlations were revealed between IADL and the physical fitness measures of height, strength of leg muscles, level of trunk muscle extension, level of touching the floor, and coordination. The IADL was negatively correlated with “up and go”. 8. QL was positively correlated with body weight (r=0.28, p<0.01) and skinfold thickness (r=0.26, p<0.05). 9. Age was negatively correlated with the physical fitness measures of height when standing, height when sitting, “up and go”, strength of leg muscles, strength of back muscles, grip strength, level of trunk muscle extension, and coordination. 10. Age was also negatively correlated with SE (r=-0.24, p<0.05) and IADL(r=-0.22, p<0.05). The above results suggest that caring elderly in their own homes were more effective and that nursing interventions to enhance physical fitness, SE, IADL, and QL especially for the institutionalized elderly are stressed.

The purpose of this study was to compare the level of physical fitness and isokinetic strength, between EMT student and physical education students. Nine a major in EMT student volunteers, and nine a major in physical education student volunteers participated in that study as subjects. The basic physical body composition, fitness and isokinetic strength were measured. The data obtained in the study was analyzed by SPSS PC+ for window version 10.0. The difference in the mean of each variable between the two groups was analyzed by using the independent t-test and the significance level for all analysis was set at <.05. The results were as follows ; 1. There was a significant difference in the basic physical fitness between the two groups with the exception flexibility. The difference showed the statistical significance on back strength, balance and power in physical education students. 2. There were significant difference in body composition between the two groups with the exception of lean body fat. The difference showed the statistical significance on body fat%, body fat mass in the physical education students. 3. There was significant defference in the isokinetic strength between the two group. The difference showed the statistical significance on peak torque, peak torque B/W%. It was concluded that the physical education students may not have an effect of flexibility; however, back strength, balance, power, body composition, isokinetic strength, could be enhanced due to the long-term period of training. Based on the findings of this study, the regular participation of regular exercise help the untrained men achieve health-related fitness.

The purpose of this study is to review the effect of previous research data with virtual reality-based Physical Activity Therapy Programs(PATPs) in adult on the physical fitness factors. Research articles were retrieved from 2008 to 2021 with the Research Information Sharing Service(RISS) and Pubmed database. The main search terms were 'care', 'therapy', 'healing', 'exercise' or 'physical activity', and 'virtual reality'. The criteria for selecting articles of this study were the originality, duplication, Randomized controlled trial(RCT) experiment and subject. Finally, 18 papers were selected among 318 articles, which were excluded if any of the criteria was not satisfied. Most of papers(15) were conducted in the last 5 years, because of the high interest due to the development of virtual reality implementation technology and COVID-19 pandemic. The participants were mainly patients(8), and the types of diseases were stroke(2). The physical fitness factors were mostly balance ability(7), muscle strength(7), and range of motion(6). All the physical fitness factors were significantly improved after PATPs. However, 11 studies were conducted for less than 4 weeks, including 6 studies were performed a bout of acute exercise. Also, 14 studies did not clearly present the intensity of PATPs. In addition, there were 9 studies, that simply applied games without specialized programs. In conclusion, it seems that virtual reality-based PATPs have a positive effect on physical fitness factors. However, VR-based PATPs should be specialized and developed in order to verify their effectiveness for the further research.
