The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of elastic-band resistance exercises combined with breathing techniques on pulmonary function in female seniors. Forty-five female seniors 65 years or older were recruited from a welfare center and assigned to an experimental (n=23) or control (n=22) group. The experimental group used an elastic band with a resistance exercises while concurrently using specific breathing techniques. The control group conducted the same resistance tasks without the respiration exercises. Respiratory function data were collected before and after the 6-week intervention. The experimental group showed a significant increase in forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume 1 sec (FEV), and in FEV as a percentage of FVC. In addition, there were significant differences in the FVC and FEV levels between groups. The results show that resistance accompanied by breathing techniques positively affects senior respiratory function when an elastic band is used for exercise.
本研究旨在探讨弹力带抗阻训练结合呼吸技术对老年女性肺功能的影响。从一个福利中心招募了45名65岁及以上的老年女性,并将她们分为实验组(n = 23)或对照组(n = 22)。实验组使用弹力带进行抗阻训练,同时采用特定的呼吸技术。对照组进行相同的抗阻任务,但不进行呼吸训练。在为期6周的干预前后收集呼吸功能数据。实验组的用力肺活量(FVC)、第1秒用力呼气量(FEV)以及FEV占FVC的百分比均显著增加。此外,两组之间的FVC和FEV水平存在显著差异。结果表明,当使用弹力带进行锻炼时,结合呼吸技术的抗阻训练对老年女性的呼吸功能有积极影响。
