Changes Of Indoor Air Quality According To Exercise Types, Intensity, And Number Of Exercisers

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to examine the changes in indoor air quality according to exercise types, intensity, and the number of exercisers. METHODS: Twelve college students (6 men: 20.8 ± 1.5 yrs, 74.8 ± 5.6 kg; 6 women: 21.0 ± 0.8 yrs, 56.9 ± 8.6 kg) participated in 3 testings; 1) a 16-meter shuttle run, 2) rhythmic rope skipping, and 3) soccer tricks (trapping, passing, and dribbling). In each testing, they exercised at 3 intensities according to the ACSM classification; low (LI: 57-63%), medium (MI: 64-76%) and high (HI: 77-95% of maximal heart rate). Each testing lasted for 80 min consisted of 20 min exercise at LI, 10 min resting, 20 min exercise at MI, 10 min resting, and 20 min exercise at HI. The ventilation system of the gym of 10 × 18 × 3.3 (594 m3) at 23-24 °C with 60-70% relative humidity was shut off. During testings, their HR was monitored. For examining the influence of the number of persons exercising, 4 and 8 participants were retested for the 16-meter shuttle run. Indoor air quality was measured (Kweather IAQ-SC, IAQ-CW1, Korea) continuously during the testings for PM10, PM2.5, CO2, and volatile organic compound (VOC). RESULTS: The average HR was ranged from 118-120, 136-142, and 155-170 bpm in LI, MI, and HI, respectively (p < 0.05). The PM10 and PM2.5 during shuttle run increased from 4.7 ± 0.2 and 3.5 ± .01 at baseline to 17.9 ± 0.7 and 11.3 ± 0.2 μg/m3 at the end, respectively (p < 0.01). During rope skipping, CO2 increased from 615.4 ± 24.5 to 1950.4 ± 56.3 ppm, and VOC increased from 16.4 ± 2.7 to 243.7 ± 55.4 ppb (p < 0.01). When comparing the number of exercisers, 12 was the greatest in both PM10 and PM2.5 (p < 0.01). CO2 was also the greatest during 12 exercisers as it changed from 792.6 ± 23.0 to 2123.2 ± 28 ppm (p < 0.01). VOC was the greatest during 4 exercisers as it changed from 6.6 ± 1.5 to 117.4 ± 2 ppb (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Physical activity such as shuttle run in a small gym evoked a most negative indoor dust particle quality. Rope skipping produced the most quantity of CO2 and VOC compared to other activity types. The more people exercise, the more air pollutants are produced. This work was supported by the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation (KSPO) and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (MCST) of the Republic of Korea (No. S2020-04-02).

Estimation of Functional Fitness of Korean Older Adults Using Machine Learning Techniques: The National Fitness Award 2015-2019.

Measuring functional fitness (FF) to track the decline in physical abilities is important in order to maintain a healthy life in old age. This paper aims to develop an estimation model of FF variables, which represents strength, flexibility, and aerobic endurance, using easy-to-measure physical parameters for Korean older adults aged over 65 years old. The estimation models were developed using various machine learning techniques and were trained with the National Fitness Award datasets from 2015 to 2019 compiled by the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation. The machine-learning-based nonlinear regression models were employed to improve the performance of the previous linear regression models. To derive the optimal estimation model that showed the best estimation accuracy, we developed five different machine-learning-based estimation models and compares the estimation accuracy not only among the machine learning models, but also with the previous linear regression model. The coefficient of determination of the FF variables was used to compare the performance of each model; the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and standard error of estimation (SEE) were used to evaluate the model performance. The deep neural network (DNN) model presented the best performance among the regression models for the estimation of all of the FF variables. The coefficient of determination in the HGS test was 0.784, while those of the others were less than 0.5 meaning that the HGS of older adults can be reliably estimated using easy-to-measure independent variables.
