The present study was performed to investigate the effect of chronic incline walking on trunk muscle cross sectional area (CSA) in female seniors. Healthy thirty females aged 62-68 years old were recruited from the general community and divided into three groups, control(n=10), level walking(n=10), and incline walking(n=10) group, as their regular exercise pattern. A visual analogue scale (VAS) and a medical history questionnaire were used as survey of health status. Magnetic resonance images of psoas, multifidus and elector spinae muscle was obtained between the fourth (L4) and fifth (L5) lumbar. We hypothesized that the demand of mechanical change with incline walking would produce greater resistant-like stimulation than level walking. The psoas major CSA of incline walking group was 9.0% higher than control and 4.9% higher than level walking group with a 5.1% difference between control and level walking group(p<.01). In the CSA of multifidus, 11.5% and 11.9% difference was observed in incline and level walking group, respectively. The CSA of elector spinae was not significantly different among groups. The total trunk muscle CSA was significantly correlated with age(-3.33, p<.01), weight(0.29, p<.05), exercise frequency(0.32, p<.05), and exercise experience(0.33, p<.01). These results suggest that the chronic incline walking positively effect on the CSA of trunk muscle in senior women.

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.
