단기간 케틀벨 운동이 노인여성의 족저압 및 하지근력에 미치는 영향

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to find out about the effects of short-term Kettlebell exercise on the Foot pressure and Leg muscle of the elderly in order to prevent injuries such as physical activity of the elderly due to rapid aging society. The study was conducted 3 times a week for 6 weeks on local elderly women aged 65 or older. Kettlebell weights ranging from 4 to 8 kg were used for Kettlebell deadlifts as well as Kettlebell double arm swings, which are appropriate weights for female beginners. It is important to note that all participants were under minimal physical strain and if at any point the exercise had caused them too much pain, it was stopped immediately. The same number of sets (a total of five sets) was set for each exercise. The rest time between sets were applied to allow breathing to return. The test was performed to observe the static foot pressure distribution. The legs were spread over the Gaitveiw plate with shoulder width and stable posture, and the gaze was kept for 10 seconds while gazing at the front. Left, Right, Forefoot, and Rearfoot were measured as static low pressure test items. For the Leg muscle test of the participant, the lower core function test (measurement of standing on the chair) was performed. The results of the application of the Kettlebell movement are as follows. The Leg muscle test showed that exercise group showed more significant difference than control group(p.001). Foot pressure test showed no significant difference(p.05). These results suggest that short-term kettle-bell motion is an effective exercise for women of the elderly, and that for the Foot pressure it is necessary to verify more clearly the effects through additional re-measurements.
