Effect of Aquatic Exercise on Body Composition, Fitness and Pulmonary Function of Spasticity Cerebral Palsy

수중운동이 경련성 뇌성마비인의 신체구성, 체력 및 폐기능에 미치는 영향

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of aquatic exercise on body composition, fitness and pulmonary function. Subjects were seven spasticity cerebral palsy(18-20years). The aquatic exercise program consisted of 11 items, and performed for 30-40mins in a bout, 4 times a week at the intensity of HRmax($40-65\%$) for 12 weeks. And the change of body weight, %fat, fat mass, hand grip, sit up, sit and reach, close eyes foot balance and side step have been measured before and post exercise 12 weeks. Paired t-test was performed for data analysis at the 0.051eve1 of significance. The following results as; First, body compositions(body weight, $\%$fat and fat mass) were decreased significantly after 12 weeks(p< .05). Second, muscle endurance, balance and flexibility were increased significantly after 12 weeks(p< .05, p< .01), respectively. Third, vital capacity was increased significantly after 12 weeks(p< .05). These results suggest that the aquatic exercise programs are applicable to the spasticity cerebral palsy with abnormal movement.

수중운동이 경련성 뇌성마비인의 신체구성, 체력 및 폐기능에 미치는 효과를 규명하기 위하여 경련성 뇌성마비 남자 7명을 대상으로 11개 동작으로 구성된 수중운동 프로그램을 주 4회(월, 화, 목, 금)의 빈도로 1일 30$\~$40분씩 12주간 실시하여 변인들의 측정치를 비교 분석한 결과 신체구성 성분(체중, 체지방율, 지방량)은 각각 유의하게 감소되었으며(P< .05), 체력요소는 근 지구력(p< .01), 유연성(p< .05), 평형성(p< .01)에서만 각각 유의하게 증가하였다. 또한, 폐활량도 12주 수중운동 후 유의하게 증가하였다(p<.05).
