걷기운동이 여성노인의 신체조성, 혈압 및 대뇌피질활성화에 미치는 영향

Abstract

A total of 14 healthy elderly females participants with the age between 59~63 were enrolled in this study, who did not show any medical complication or take muscle and skeletal disease medicine and underwent walking exercise for 12 weeks (60~65%HRmax). Also the results of this study were as follow. Thus, the importance of the exercise related to aging is one of the most important hetahl management aspects for elderly female patients. Hence, the purpose of this study is to analyze waking xeercise for the changes of body composition ,blood pressure and the activation of cerebral cortex in elder lyfemale patients and search for the health ma-n agement promotion and the method for elderly people. Accordingto the analysis results of the change diffe-r ences between pre-study and post-study, there showed no changein the pre-study, while there showed the changing aspects of cerebral cortex activation in Rt. Frontal lobe cortex, Lt. Frontal lobe cortex, Rt. Parietal lobe subcortical white matter and corpus callosum. The body weight was decreased from 57.92±2.92kg(pre-study),middle 55.42±2.71kg to 54.64±2.83kg(post-study), Body fat 29.72±2.48%(pre-study), middle 28.51±3.45% to 26.38±4.10%(post-study), SBP was decreased from 119.71±5.82mmHg(pre-study), middle 116.85±4.28mmHg to 116.00±6.08mmHg(post-study)and which were statisitcally significant(p<.05). According to the analysis results of the change differences between cerebral cortex activation and anatomical position, there showed the changing aspects of brain activation regarding motor area and perception area after the walking exercise directly and indirectly - Rt. Frontal lobe cortex, Lt. rFontal lobe cortex, Rt. Parietal lobe subcortical whit e matter and corpus callosum.
