노화가 진행됨에 따라 근육은 감소 현상(sarcopenia)을 나타낸다. 근육의 감소는 노인의 의료비 증가와 직접적인 관련성은 없어 보이지만, 근육의 감소가 근력의 감소로 연결되어 체력의 약화, 활동성의 감소, 낙상의 증가 등과 같은 독립적인 생활을 감소시킨다. 이는 신체장애로 연결되며, 또다시 당뇨, 비만, 고지혈증, 고혈압 등과 같은 만성퇴행성 질환으로 연결된다. 결국, 근감소증은 사망률을 상승시키는 잠재 위험요인이 된다. 본 연구는 탄력밴드 운동을 통한 근감소증 예방과 관련된 변인인 신체조성 및 체력의 향상된 변화와 더불어 운동 중단에 따른 운동효과의 상쇄(相殺) 정도를 살펴보는데 있다. 본 연구의 피검자는 S시 J구 J노인복지관 운동프로그램에 참가하는 60-70대의 노인 14명으로 선정하였다. 12주 동안의 탄력밴드 운동은 주2회의 빈도로 실시하였다. 측정시기는 12주간의 통제전, 통제후(운동전), 12주간의 운동 후(운동중단 전), 12주간의 운동중단 후로 신체조성 과 체력 변인을 측정하였다. 12주간의 통제전·후 신체조성과 체력 변인에는 통계적인 유의차가 나타나지 않았으나, 12주간의 운동전·후 신체조성의 체중(t=2.978, p=0.001), 체질량지수(t=3.502, p=0.004), 체지방율(t=2.216, p=0.045), 근육량(t=-3.837, p=0.002), 내장지방면적(t=5.186, p<0.001), 허리-엉덩이 둘레비(t=3.045, p=0.009) 모든 변인에서, 체력의 2분 제자리 걷기(t=-6.891 p<0.001), 덤벨들기(t=-4.702, p<0.001), 의자에서 일어섰다 앉기(t=-4.860, p<0.001), 의자앉아 앞으로 굽히기(t=-5.910, p<0.001), 등 뒤에서 손잡기(t=-3.835, p=0.002), 244cm 왕복 걷기(t=7.560, p<0.001)의 모든 변인에서 운동의 효과를 나타내었고, 그 효과가 12주간의 운동중단 후에도 신체조성의 체중(t=2.323, p=0.037), 체질량지수(t=2.503, p=0.026), 근육량(t=-3.137, p=0.008) 변인에서, 체력의 2분 제자리 걷기(t=-6.489 p<0.001), 의자에서 일어섰다 앉기(t=-4.694, p<0.001), 의자앉아 앞으로 굽히기(t=-3.690, p=0.003), 244cm 왕복 걷기(t=7.539, p<0.001)의 변인에서 그 유지가 지속되었다. 노인에게 있어서 탄력밴드 운동은 신체조성 및 체력에 긍정적인 영향을 나타내며, 그 운동의 효과가 12주가 경과되어도 유지되고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Technical support of Window XP ended in March, 8, 2014, and it makes OS(Operating System) users fall in a state of confusion. Sudden decision making of OS upgrade and replacement is not a simple problem. Firms need to change the long term capacity plan in enterprise IS management, but they are pressed for time and cost to complete it. Individuals can not help selecting the second best plan, because the following OSs of Window XP are below expectations in performances, new PC sales as the opportunities of OS upgrade decrease, and the potential risk of OS technical support ending had not announced to OS users at the point of purchase. Microsoft as the OS vendors had not presented precaution or remedy for this confusion. Rather, Microsoft announced that the technical support of the other following OSs of Wndow XP such as Window 7 would ended in two years. This conflict between OS vendor and OS users could not happen in one time, but could recur in recent future. Although studies on the ways of OS user protection policy would be needed to escape from this conflict, few prior studies had conducted this issue. This study had challenge to cautiously investigate in such OS user's reactions as the confirmation with OS user's expectation in the point of purchase, three types of justice perception on the treatment of OS vendor, psychological contract violation, satisfaction and the other betrayal behavioral intention in the case of Window XP technical support ending. By adopting the justice perception on this research, and by empirically validating the impact on OS user's reactions, I could suggest the direction of establishing OS user protection policy of OS vendor. Based on the expectation-confirmation theory, the theory of justice, literatures about psychological contract violation, and studies about consumer betrayal behaviors in the perspective of Herzberg(1968)'s dual factor theory, I developed the research model and hypothesis. Expectation-confirmation theory explain that consumers had expectation on the performance of product in the point of sale, and they could satisfied with their purchase behaviors, when the expectation could have confirmed in the point of consumption. The theory of justice in social exchange argues that treatee could be willing to accept the treatment by treater when the three types of justice as distributive, procedural, and interactional justice could be established in treatment. Literatures about psychological contract violation in human behaviors explains that contracter in a side could have the implied contract (also called 'psychological contract') which the contracter in the other side would sincerely execute the contract, and that they are willing to do vengeance behaviors when their contract had unfairly been broken. When the psychological contract of consumers had been broken, consumers feel distrust with the vendors and are willing to decrease such beneficial attitude and behavior as satisfaction, loyalty and repurchase intention. At the same time, consumers feel betrayal and are willing to increase such retributive attitude and behavior as negative word-of-mouth, complain to the vendors, complain to the third parties for consumer protection. We conducted a scenario survey in order to validate our research model at March, 2013, when is the point of news released firstly and when is the point of one year before the acture Window XP technical support ending. We collected the valid data from 238 voluntary participants who are the OS users but had not yet exposed the news of Window OSs technical support ending schedule. The subject had been allocated into two groups and one of two groups had been exposed this news. The data had been analyzed by the MANOVA and PLS. MANOVA results indicate that the OSs technical support ending could significantly decrease all three types of justice perception. PLS results indicated that it could significantly increase psychological contract violation and that this increased psychological contract violation could significantly reduce the trust and increase the perceived betrayal. Then, it could significantly reduce satisfaction, loyalty, and repurchase intention, and it also could significantly increase negative word-of-month intention, complain to the vendor intention, and complain to the third party intention. All hypothesis had been significantly approved. Consequently, OS users feel that the OSs technical support ending is not natural value added service ending, but the violation of the core OS purchase contract, that it could be the posteriori prohibition of OS user's OS usage right, and that it could induce the psychological contract violation of OS users. This study would contributions to introduce the psychological contract violation of the OS users from the OSs technical support ending in IS field, to introduce three types of justice as the antecedents of psychological contract violation, and to empirically validate the impact of psychological contract violation both on the beneficial and retributive behavioral intentions of OS users. For practice, the results of this study could contribute to make more comprehensive OS user protection policy and consumer relationship management practices of OS vendor.
