Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the effects on pulmonary function and exercise fitness after applying 10 weeks of SAQ exercise and treadmill exercise.<BR> Method: The subjects of the study were healthy male college students in their twenties, who were explained the purpose and method of this study fully and voluntarily expressed their intention to participate (N=30). The group was randomly set into a SAQ exercise group (=n10), a treadmill exercise group (n=10) and non-exercise group. The subjects exercised for 60 minutes, three day as week for 10 weeks. Measurement variables were pulmonary function (FVC, SVC, MVV) and physical fitness (long jump, side step, and static balance with open & close eyes). All statistics were analyzed by SPSS version 25.0. Two-way repeated measure ANOVA was used to verify the differences between before and after exercise. To check differences between groups at each period, one-way ANOVA was performed. All statistical significance levels were set at p<.05.<BR> Results: The results of this study are as follows. 1) FVC and MVV showed statistically significant interaction effects. FVC showed statistically significant changes between groups and according to a post-hoc test, SAQ and TEG showed positive effects compared with NEG. MVV showed statistically significant changes in times. 2) The long jump, sidestep and static balance with closed eyes and open eyes showed a statistically significant interaction effect. The long jump showed significant changes in times, sidestep showed significant changes in both groups and times and static balance with closed eyes & open eyes showed significant changes in times. According to a post-hoc test, sidestep and static balance with open eyes, SAQ and TEG showed positive effects compared with NEG. And as for static balance with closed eyes, SAQ showed a positive effect compared with TEG and NEG.<BR> Conclusion: In summary, the findings in this study confirm that SAQ exercise is effective in pulmonary function and has a positive effect on improving physical fitness. It is possible to be recommended for new exercise.
