여대생의 코어운동 형태에 따른 척추측만증 개선 효과 : 운동 충실도의 관점에서

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of core exercises for female university students with scoliosis patients(Cobb’s angles ranging from ten to 15 degree) through a 15 week core exercise program, and the effects of the core exercise were further investigated by comparing those with doing individual core exercises and those with doing group core exercises. For the purpose, data was collected from 19 female M university students in C city. For 15 weeks, 9 female university students and 10 female university students had participated in individual core exercises and group core exercises respectively. Cervicothoracolumbar scenography was used to assess the effects of core exercises for scoliosis patients. Split plot Factorial Design and Repeated Measures ANOVA with three time points were conducted for data analysis using SPSS 19.0. Findings showed that group core exercises made significant improvements of Cobb’s angle symptoms both eight weeks and 15 weeks of measurement points, but individual core exercises showed a significant improvement of Cobb’s angle symptom only on 15 weeks of measurement point. These findings indicated that group core exercise programs are more efficient than individual core exercise programs. In the light of exercise adherence, theoretical and practical implications were provided in the discussion section.
