Abstract

The purpose of this study was to verify the effect on the general mood scale and upper and lower limb muscle activity according to participation in the HealSwing exercise. The subjects of the study randomly selected 8 middle school students and compared the difference in mood and muscle activity when performing the HealSwing exercise(HSE) and bicycle exercise(CE). The exercise protocol consisted of warm-up, this exercise, and the cool-down, and this exercise was carried out in three stages in both HSE and CE. The general mood scale factor in the measurement items was measured before and after the exercise with a sevenstep score that increased from one point to seven points from positive emotion to negative emotion. The upper and lower limb activity factors measured the upper and lower limb muscle activity factors: biceps brachii caput longus, flexor caput radialis, rectus femoris, gastrocnemius medialis muscles. The results showed a significant difference between the main effects(p.001) and the interaction effects(p.01) in the analysis between the exercise form and the measurement period. In muscle activity variables, the upper limbs were significantly higher in area, mean, and peak during the HealSwing exercise than in the bicycle exercise at all stages of exercise. The rectus femoris muscles of the lower limbs were significantly higher in area, mean, and peak during the HealSwing exercise than in the bicycle exercises in all stages of exercise, but the gastrocnemius medialis muscles were not different. In conclusion, the HealSwing exercise applied to this study showed significant effects in mood, and in upper and lower muscle activity, the upper and lower muscle activity showed significant effects on the biceps brachii caput longus muscles, the flexor caput radialis muscles and the rectus femoris muscles, but the gastrocnemius medialis muscles showed no significant difference. Therefore, it is expected that the application of the HealSwing exercise program in the sports field will contribute to the health management and promotion of the people and the quality of life.
