[Purpose] This study aimed to consider the influence of a three-month video exercise program on the physical function of older females. [Participants and Methods] Nineteen older females (aged 72.9 ± 3.64 years) participated in this study. We formed two groups-an experimental group that exercised (n=9) and a control group that did not exercise (n=10). Our study's exercise program focused on leg training. We conducted physical and cognitive tests before and after the program to determine the effects of the exercise program. [Results] The results of the second physical (post-intervention) test showed that the exercise group recorded significant improvement in the one-leg balance test with eyes open. However, no improvement was observed in cognitive function. [Conclusion] The static balance capacity of the exercise group improved. Thus, the three-month video exercise practice was effective for physical function improvement.
[目的]本研究旨在探讨为期三个月的视频锻炼计划对老年女性身体功能的影响。[参与者与方法]19名老年女性(年龄72.9±3.64岁)参与了本研究。我们将她们分为两组——进行锻炼的实验组(n=9)和不进行锻炼的对照组(n=10)。我们的研究锻炼计划侧重于腿部训练。在该计划前后进行身体和认知测试,以确定锻炼计划的效果。[结果]第二次身体(干预后)测试结果显示,锻炼组在睁眼单腿平衡测试中取得了显著改善。然而,未观察到认知功能有改善。[结论]锻炼组的静态平衡能力得到了提高。因此,为期三个月的视频锻炼实践对改善身体功能是有效的。
