Abstract

This study selected 31 old women over 65 years old residing in G county, Jeonnam and applied the aqua exercise program to them for 1 hour a session, once a week for 1 year from Feb. 1, 2011 to Jan. 31, 2012 in order to examine the effects of the program on body composition, exercise function, quality of life and self-esteem in the elderly. As a result of measuring health related factors before and after applying the exercise program, it was found that long-term aqua exercise program had statistically significant change and increase in body composition (weight, body fat mass and percent body fat), exercise function (flexibility, balance, TUG, back muscle strength), quality of life and self-esteem. Therefore, it is considered that continuous aqua exercise program is needed to improve body composition, exercise function, quality of life and self-esteem of the old women in rural areas.

본 연구는 아쿠아 운동프로그램이 노인들의 신체 조성과 운동기능, 삶의 질 및 자아존중감에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 2011년 2월 1일부터 2012년 1월 31일까지 전라남도 G 군에 거주하는 65세 이상의 여성 31명을 대상으로 주 1회, 회당 1시간으로 1년간 적용하였다. 운동프로그램 전과 후에 건강관련 요소를 측정한 결과 장기간의 아쿠아 운동프로그램을 통해 신체조성(체중, 체지방량, 체지방율), 운동기능(유연성, 균형, TUG, 배근력) 및 삶의 질과 자아존중감이 통계적으로 유의한 변화 및 증가가 있었다. 이상의 결과를 통해 농촌지역 노인여성의 신체조성, 운동기능, 삶의 질 및 자아존중감 향상을 위해 지속적인 아쿠아 운동프로그램이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
