The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the perceived exertion and fatigue of daily activities and the age-related decline of physical functions. Eighty-five male job applicants aged from 55 to 65 years old were asked to answer the questionnaire inquiring about perceptual effort and fatigue of daily activities, and then were examined on more than ten kinds of physical functions. The significance of the correlation coefficients between factors extracted from 35 subjective variables and those from 38 objective variables were tested. Main findings were as follows: (a) The perceived exertion of daily activities using lower limbs seems to be influenced by the decline of muscle strength. (b) The perceptual effort of daily activities using upper limbs seems to be connected with the obesity rate and also with the decline of hearing. (c) The subjective fatigue seems to be related with the level of blood pressure and also with the decline of hearing.
本研究的目的是调查日常活动中的感知运动强度和疲劳与身体功能随年龄下降之间的关系。85名年龄在55至65岁之间的男性求职者被要求回答关于日常活动中感知努力和疲劳的问卷，然后接受十多种身体功能的检查。对从35个主观变量中提取的因素与从38个客观变量中提取的因素之间的相关系数的显著性进行了检验。主要结果如下：(a) 下肢日常活动的感知运动强度似乎受肌肉力量下降的影响。(b) 上肢日常活动的感知努力似乎与肥胖率以及听力下降有关。(c) 主观疲劳似乎与血压水平以及听力下降有关。
