8주간의 복합운동이 남자 대학생들의 자세균형, 어깨 기울기 및 거북목 자세에 미치는 영향

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to measure and analyze changes in postural balance, shoulder gradient and forward head posture after applying 8-week combined exercise to 25 male university students(13 of a combined exercise group, 12 of a control group) and the study result are as follows. First, the combined exercise group and the control group showed a 4.41% increase and a 2.17% increase respectively in the left postural balance and a 3.86% decrease and a 2.06% decrease respectively in the right postural balance, which means a statistically significant difference was only found in the combined exercise group(p<.05). Second, the combined exercise group and the control group showed a 16.48% decrease and a 5.60% decrease respectively in shoulder gradient, but there was no statistical significance. Third, the combined exercise group showed a 29.47% decrease in forward head posture, compared to the control group, which means there was a statistically significant difference(p<.01). In conclusion, resistance combined exercise positively influenced postural balance and correction of forward head posture and thus needs to be positively recommended in clinical sites.
