According to a survey conducted by the Taiwanese government, the elderly spend most of their time watching TV for their daily leisure activities, and most do not pant or sweat during exercise. Relevant studies have shown that physical activity has benefits and importance for the physical functions of the elderly. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of exercise training on the functional fitness of elderly females in the community. The women subjects were from the community of Kaohsiung City, Taiwan. In total, 34 females were randomly divided into an intervention group and a control group. The ages of the subjects ranged from 65 to 80 years old, with an average age of 75.13. The experimental group continued their physical activity intervention for 20 weeks. The control group had no training plan. The results of the study showed that after 20 weeks of intervention, participants in the intervention group experienced improvements in back grasping, right-hand grip strength, sitting to standing, right hip flexion, right knee extension, right ankle dorsiflexion, right sitting forward extension balance, and sitting back around objects. Six-minute walking distances also showed a significant difference in all cases. The results demonstrated that the 20-week physical activity program intervention used in this study can assist in improving back grasping, right-hand grip strength, sitting to standing, right-hand sitting posture, forward balance, sitting back around objects, and six-minute walking distance among older women in the community. In summary, we recommend a moderate-intensity physical activity exercise program for older women in the community.
根据台湾地区政府进行的一项调查,老年人在日常休闲活动中大部分时间都在看电视,而且大多数人在运动时不会气喘或出汗。相关研究表明,身体活动对老年人的身体机能有益且重要。本研究的目的是调查运动训练对社区老年女性功能性体能的影响。女性受试者来自台湾高雄市的社区。总共34名女性被随机分为干预组和对照组。受试者年龄在65岁至80岁之间,平均年龄为75.13岁。实验组持续进行了20周的身体活动干预。对照组没有训练计划。研究结果表明,经过20周的干预,干预组参与者在背部抓握、右手握力、从坐到站、右髋关节屈曲、右膝关节伸展、右踝关节背屈、右坐姿前伸平衡以及围绕物体向后坐等方面都有改善。六分钟步行距离在所有情况下也显示出显著差异。结果表明,本研究中使用的20周身体活动计划干预可以帮助改善社区老年女性的背部抓握、右手握力、从坐到站、右手坐姿、前平衡、围绕物体向后坐以及六分钟步行距离。总之,我们建议为社区老年女性制定中等强度的身体活动锻炼计划。
