범이론모형과 장수운동프로그램이 고령 고혈압여성의 건강관련체력, 혈압 및 내중막두께에 미치는 영향

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of intervention of longevity exercise program (muscular strengthening exercises, aerobic dance, traditional dance) and the theoretical model on health related physical fitness, blood pressure and intimal thickening (vascular function) in elderly women with hyper-tension.BR Method: The subjects were 21 elderly women (over 65yrs) with hypertension (systolic blood pressure≥140 ~ 159mmHg or diastolic blood pressure≥90 ~ 99mmHg) who wanted to participate voluntarily. They were classified into longevity exercise program group (n= 10) and control group (n= 11). The following results were obtained (body composition, physical fitness, blood pressure, CCA)BR Results: Luminal diameter (LD) increased by 0.05 cm and peak systolic flow velocity (PFV) also significantly increased at 12.53 cm / sec. In particular, the intima-media thickness (IMT) of the carotid artery was found to be statistically significantly reduced. On the other hand, end-diastolic flow velocity (EFV) did not change. This study suggests that the longevity exercise program may be a factor to improve circulatory cardiovascular function such as blood pressure and vascular function of older women with hypertension.BR Conclusion: Considering the rapidly decreasing physical strength with increasing age, it is an excellent exercise program that improves the quality of life by bringing healthier people to even healthier people and longevity exercise program.
