Purpose: The research was to investigate the effect of stepbox exercise program on both male and female elderly' physiological index such as cardiovascular and to improve exercise efficacy. Methods: The research design was a non-equivalent control group, quasiexperimental study. From 2011-05-10 to 2011-07-26, 3 times a week for 12 weeks, the 43 elderly of health center of D district in G city who participated in the program and pre and post test at the same time were investigated. Results: Statistical significant differences had not been detected in systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure, pulse showed a statistical significant differences. After test of physiological index, weights of participants showed decreasing tendency. body fat mass, skeletal muscle mass, BMI, body fat rate and waist-hip-ratio had also showed statistically significant differences. Conclusion: In conclusion, stepbox exercise program has positive effects on physiological index, blood pressure and pulse. Therefore, dynamic stepbox exercise program is considered to be a helpful intervention to improve comprehensive health conditions by giving the elderly both easy and less-pain exercise and the opportunity to manage their own health.

본 연구는 누구나 일상생활에서 개인의 체력상태를 진단하고 평가하여 건강을 유지할 수 있도록 체력측정이 가능한 스텝박스를 개발하고 이를 통해 본인의 체력수준을 예측하고 수집된 데이터를 활용하여 이력을 관리함으로서 체력저하에 따라 유발될 수 있는 질환이나 질병을 예방하고 개선하는데 목적이 있다. 저비용, 실용성, 반복성, 휴대성 등의 이점을 지닌 IT기반의 스텝박스는 현재 국내 개발되어 있는 건강체력 측정 장비의 한계점을 보완하여 체력상태 및 결과 진단뿐만 아니라 연령대별 건강 척도를 제시함으로서 신체활동 참여를 유도할 수 있다.
