The purpose of the study was investigate the effect of cool-down and warm-up on Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness(DOMS). 20 healthy male and female student were participated in the study. They were randomly assigned to 4 groups; 1) a control group{n = 5), 2) warm-up group(n = 5) , 3) cool-down group{n = 5), 4) combined group that received warm-up and cool-down. To induce the DOMS at elbow flexor groups of non-dominant arm, they performed eccentric contraction exercises by isokinetic machine(KIN-KOM). The girth of upper arm was measured at the just before, just after exercise, after 24 hr, after 48 hr, after 72 hr, after 96 hr. At the highest point of upper arm, the girth was measured by a tapeline. Muscle soreness level was evaluated at same as above intervals by visual analog scale(VAS). There were significant difference of VAS between groups{P< 0.05). There were no significant difference of upper arm girth between group(P> 0.05). There were no effect of warm-up and cool-down exercise on DOMS and girth.

This study was performed to measure the immediate effects of stretching exercise on lower limb agility. Target population was department of physical therapy student. They are comprised of 30 members and splitted in to 3groups. Group 1 was instructed to perform programmed stretching(effects of regular stretching upon the development of physique and physical fitness: Focus on Middle school students-Choi Ingi) before exerclse. Group 11 was asked to perform stretching before exercise on their own. without any specification or instruction. Group 111 didn1t perform stretching exercise. The results was following: (1) The performance of Group(with programmed stretching) outpaced others and was stastically significant(vertical jump and standing board jump). (2) We also found statistical significance with meter shuttle run. no significance was found with vertical jump and standing board jump.

The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between scoliosis and back pain by investigating the characteristics and incidence of scoliosis based on university students who are entering into adulthood. Data were obtained on 188 male and female university students. A scoliometer was used to measure the degree and direction of curves (scoliosisL and both heights of PSIS. The results are as follows: 1. 56 incidence for curves less than 50; 2. 123 incidence for curves 5~90; and 3. 9 incidence for curves greater than 100 The main site of scoliosis is on lumbar and the directions of curves are significantly more towards the right. PSIS angle (curve) is also more towards the right. Severity of curves was measured according to presence of back pain. However, no statistical significance was noted. This study concludes that scoliosis in students are in serious state since there are more than 70% incidence of scoliosis in students with curves more than 50. Further studies should be carried out to enable early diagnosis.

The purpose of this study, regular exercise in university students who have no experience artificially induced delayed onset muscle soreness(DOMS) was induced to static stretch after the recovery period depending on the water to examine the effect of DOMS. Subjects were 19 students enrolled at the University of 0 (control group : 6, ground group : 6, water group : 7) were assigned priority. To induce DOMS include a workout bench stepping were used for the height of 50cm box. Stretching after 24 hours in the water, and ground forces , after 72 hours, 120 hours were conducted. Gwangju S pool in the aquatic group of 2rc, such as ground water exercise was applied by flooding the quadriceps stretch. DOMS-causing ago, Muscle pain scale(MPS), Pressure pain thresholds(PPT) , Range of motion(ROM) flexion, extension, Lactate dehydrogenase(LDH), Creatin phosphokinase(CPK) was measured. These esults Group 111 were significantly than effective Group 1 and Group 11 than the MPS, PPT, ROM, CPK. Therefore, Through this study, aquatic stretching exercise greater effect on the recovery of fatigue and greater recovery was found to affect.

The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of balance ability in elderly women by the knee joint training. Thirty two elderly women aged 65 to 80 had been participated in this study. AII the patient were treated 3 times session weekly for 5 weeks. The participants were divided randomly as group 1 (n = 8) , group 11 (n = 8), group 111 (n = 8), and group IV(n = 8). In group of participants were non treatment. In group 11 of participants were exercised only QSE(Quadriceps Setting Exercise). In group 111 of participants were exercised using Thera band. In group IV of participants were exercised both QSE and using Thera band. For 5 weeks , three(group 11 , 111 , IV) exercise group took the training an hour in each 3days of a week and we raised the intensity of exercise of three groups following two weeks from the start. We compared the group 1 with the other groups. The results obtained are as followings First, Experimental group 11 , 111 , IV were showed significant difference, especially experimental group IV was only showed greatest significant difference in comparision with group 1 in change of quadriceps strength , pressure pain threshold , one leg stance test, timed up and go test, WOMAC according to 5 weeks(P< .001). In conclusion this study showed that group IV compared to group I had significantly change than group 11 and group 111 compared to group 1 in all test. Therefore, this study revealed that quadriceps intensive training has the affirmative ifluence on function of knee joint in elderly adults.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of biofeedback, verbal feedback training of lumbar stabilization exercise performed by intensive academy teacher. METHOD: The research design of this study was nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. The subject were thirty persons fifteen academy teacher were assigned to biofeedback training group, fifteen academy teacher to verbal feedback training group. The data collection was performed from July 20th to August 30th, 2010. The subject participated in lumbar stabilization exercise training for 3 weeks. Biofeedback, training group were instructed for lumbar stabilization exercise using, 30 minutes three a week, verbal feedback training group were trained through verbal feedback based on anal inspection and vaginal palpation. RESULT: (1) Verbal feedback group, the experiment of the control group before and after the sling holding time compared to the results showed no statistically significant difference(p< .05). (2) Pressure biofeedback group, the experiment of the control group before and after the results were compared VAS showed no statistically significant difference(p< .05). (3) Pressure biofeedback group, the experimental group before and after the sling holding time compared to the results showed no statistically significant difference (p< .05). CONCLUSION: Verbal feedback and Pressure biofeedback Lumbar stabilization exercise is effect on decrease of pain for lumbar pain academy teacher.

PURPOSE: In stroke patient rehabilitation therapy, visual perception disorder is an important factor to decide patient's ADL recovery and recuperation. METHOD: In this study, we studied what factors have effects on ADL performance ability to do stroke patient visual perception therapy on 36 university students and the 28 . ds. We use Dynavision set B-mode visual perception measurement and trainnig tool for 30 seconds at 5-second and 2-second intervals. We use only 4 rings among 5 ones. RESULT: It was resulted that womenls visual perception reaction velocity was a little bit faster when we compared womenls visual perception reaction velocity with menls and that it was faster at 2-second interval than at 5-second interval. In up and down space comparative, there's no significant contrast and in right and left space comparative, left's visual perception reaction velocity was faster than right's. CONCLUSION: We hope to you can use these results to improve stroke patient's ADL effect ability and to study visual perception therapy.

Background: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of posterior capsule stretching on range of motion , disability and pain in patients with shoulder adhesive capsulitis. Method: The subjects of this study were 26 patients. The subjects were divided into two group(experimental group n = 16, control group n = 1 .. 80th group were treated 3 weeks. Shoulder range of motion and pain were measured by goniometer and VNRS(verbal numerical rating scale). Disability were assessed by questionnaire. The collected data analysed by paired T -test and independent T -test. Results: The experimental group significantly improved shoulder range of motion, pain and disability, but control group significantly improved only shoulder external rotation. Conclusion: The results showed that posterior capsule stretching were effective in improving shoulder range of motion, pain and disability in patients with shoulder adhesive capsulitis.
