소도구 협응운동이 여성노인의 낙상관련 체력 및 하지근기능에 미치는 영향

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 12 weeks of personal equipment exercise on fall-related physical fitness and lower extremity muscle function in elderly women. For this purpose, Personal equipment exercise was performed at an intensity of 40 to 70% of the maximum resting heart rate for women aged 65 and over(experimental group 15, control group 15) for 60 minutes at a time, 3 times a week, for 12 weeks, and the results are as follows. First, among the fall-related physical changes, significant differences were found in lower extremity strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination. Second, there was a significant difference in hip extension and hip flexion among the changes in lower extremity muscle function, but no significant difference was found in knee extension and knee flexion. Through the above results, it is considered that periodic small tool coordination exercise has a positive effect on fall-related physical strength and lower extremity muscle function in elderly women. It is thought that additional research on the gender and age of the elderly should be conducted in the future.
