The purpose of this study was to examine the function, health status, and efficacy effects of a combined exercise program using an iPad among older women in Korea, a tech-savvy country.
The study employed a pretest and posttest experimental design with a control group. The experimental group of subjects comprised 16 female older adults and the control group comprised 10 who were aged 65 years or older. The experimental group participated in a supervised group-based exercise program and an individualized home-based exercise program that involved the use of an iPad. The combined group and home-based exercise program consisted of group exercise, which took place in a senior center for 30 minutes weekly, and a home-based iPad exercise program, which the subjects followed at least 3 times a week. The collected data were analyzed using the Statistical Analysis System (SAS ver. 9.3 TS Level 1M0) program, which utilized a chi-square test, a Fisher exact test, a t-test, and a repeated-measures ANOVA.
The results showed that cognitive status changed significantly over time, and there was an interaction between group and time. Further, self-efficacy for exercise and outcome expectations for exercise changed significantly over time.
Exercise programs using iPad interventions may be useful for the management of cognitive functioning and the integration of functional physical abilities in older adults.
本研究旨在探讨在韩国这个技术普及程度较高的国家,使用iPad的综合锻炼计划对老年女性的功能、健康状况和功效影响。
本研究采用了带有对照组的前测和后测实验设计。实验组由16名老年女性组成,对照组由10名65岁及以上的老年人组成。实验组参加了一个有监督的基于小组的锻炼计划和一个涉及使用iPad的个性化居家锻炼计划。综合小组和居家锻炼计划包括每周在老年中心进行30分钟的小组锻炼,以及受试者每周至少进行3次的基于iPad的居家锻炼计划。使用统计分析系统(SAS ver. 9.3 TS Level 1M0)程序对收集的数据进行分析,该程序采用卡方检验、Fisher精确检验、t检验和重复测量方差分析。
结果表明,认知状态随时间有显著变化,且组间和时间之间存在交互作用。此外,锻炼的自我效能感和锻炼的结果期望随时间有显著变化。
使用iPad干预的锻炼计划可能有助于管理老年人的认知功能和整合其功能性身体能力。
