Abstract

The purpose of this study is to maintain and improve the old female's recognition function and short-term memory through the rhythm exercise that does not give physical damage and has enjoyment and dance routine. Experiment consists of Dance Sports and Jive(international style), which are rhythmic exercise programs. For exercise strength, rating of perceived exertion (RPE) was used. After the exercise for 1 hour, 3 times a week for 4 weeks, recognition function and short-term memory before and after exercise were compared and analyzed and interaction effect was verified. The result revealed that the recognition function after rhythmic exercise (28.85±.587) was higher than that before rhythmic exercise (28.20±1.507) and it showed statistically significant difference(t=-2.096, p<.05). In addition, the short-term memory after rhythmic exercise (19.35±4.392) was higher than short-term memory (19.20 ±3.955) but it did not show statistically significant difference(t=-187, p>.05). In the correlation between the rhythmic exercise of short-term momory and recognition function (r=.286, p>.05) did not show significant difference.
