Abstract

We designed this study because it is necessary to take health care from middle age for to healthy old age. The purpose of this study was to confirm the effect of middle-aged women on the walking mechanism by applying an exercise program that can achieve the maximum effect through simple exercise regardless of time and place. A total of 20 subjects were selected from middle-aged women aged 45 years or older, with 10 calf-enhancing exercise groups and 10 control groups. As a result of comparing before and after exercise in the calf-enhancing exercise group, the step length left and right, and double support, step time, and speed were improved. As a result of comparing the walking mechanisms of the calf-enhancing exercise group and the non-exercise group after exercise, the step length left and right, and step time left and right were improved. The positive effect of the walking mechanism was shown through the calf-enhancing exercise regardless of time and place. In particular, it is judged that the stride was widened, resulting in an increase in the speed of walking due to the strength of the lower extremities and the shortening of the one-foot support section, resulting in meaningful results. In future studies, it is considered desirable to present measurement data for each life cycle by evaluating all ages, such as adolescents and the elderly, and to provide it as basic data for causing social problems due to lack of normal exercise.

건강한 노년을 위해 중년부터 건강 관리를 해나가야 한다. 본 연구의 목적은 중년여성들이 시간과 장소에 구애 받지 않고 간단한 운동을 통해 최대 효과를 볼 수 있는 운동 프로그램을 적용하여 보행메커니즘에 미치는 영향을 확인하고자 시행되었다. 연구대상자는 45세 이상 중년 여성을 대상으로 종아리 강화 운동 그룹 10명, 대조군 10명으로 총 20명을 선정하였다. 종아리 강화 운동군의 운동 전후를 비교한 결과 step length 좌측과 우측 그리고 double support, step time(좌), speed가 향상되었다. 운동 후 종아리 강화 운동군과 비운동 그룹의 보행메커니즘을 비교한 결과 step length 좌측과 우측, step time 좌측과 우측이 향상되었다. 시간 및 장소에 특별히 구애 받지 않는 종아리 강화 운동을 통해 보행메커니즘의 긍정적 효과를 보였다. 특히 보폭은 넓어져 하지의 힘이 생기고 한발 지지구간은 짧아져 보행의 속도는 증가한 것으로 나타나 의미 있는 결과를 도출했다고 판단한다. 향후 연구에서는 청소년, 노년 층 등 전 연령에 걸쳐 평가하여 생애주기 별 측정데이터를 제시하고 평상시 운동 부족으로 사회적 문제를 야기하는데 있어 기초자료로 제공하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 사료된다.
