여성노인들의 생활체력과 낙상발생 및 불안과의 관련성
An interrelationship with life physical fitness, incidence and anxiety of falling in elderly women; based on one-year observation
The purpose of this study is to investigate an interrelationship with life physical fitness level, falling incidence, and falling anxiety in elderly women. One-hundred nineteen elderly women (65~83 yrs) living in S and Y area in Kyunggi-do voluntarily participated in this study and all participants were screened for not having musculoskeletal injury history since past 6 months. Physical fitness tests including lower limb strength, agility, balance, flexibility, walking ability, and hand grip were conducted. For falling incidence and anxiety test, “yes” or “no” survey related to falling incidence and anxiety was conducted for a year after physical fitness test. This study results are as follows; First, based upon age tertile, there was a significant decrease in life physical fitness according to aging. Second, there was a significant interrelationship between standing on one foot test with eyes open, one of life physical fitness tests, and falling experience Lastly, there was no significant interrelationship between life physical fitness level and falling anxiety in elderly women. This one-year study confirmed that there was an increased incidence of falling caused by decreased life physical fitness and higher level of life physical fitness group showed reduced falling incidence by 74% compared to lower level of life physical fitness group through standing on one foot test with eyes open in elderly women. In addition, this study confirmed the importance of an asymmetry and bilateral symmetry of the legs to prevent falling. Further studies are needed to consider kinetic factors by determining falling prevention and this would be the basis for developing a fall prevention program.

현대사회에 있어서 신체활동 연구의 주요 탐구과제는 ‘신체활동을 통한 교육’으로부터 ‘인간의 기본적인 움직임’을 목표로 하는 스포츠적인 움직임을 중심으로 한 생명 활동의 개념으로 급속히 변화되고 있는 추세이다. 이러한 환경변화에 대응하기 위하여 본학회는 ‘체육’적인 요소에서 ‘스포츠’적인 요소를 중심으로 한 학문적 정체성을 견고히 하고, 정기적인 학술지 발간과 학술활동을 통해 한국스포츠츠 문화의 발전과 학문적인 발전에 기여하는데 그 목적이 있다.
