This study aims at examining the effects of strengthening leg muscular strength on increasing elderly's muscular strength, walking ability and balance according to their experience of injury from a fall. It conducts muscular strength exercise for 4 weeks with 19 healthy old people over 65years and as a result of measuring their conditions for 6 weeks, it obtains the following conclusions. 1. Two groups showed a significant difference in their muscular strength, walking ability and balance according to the period(p<0.05). 2. Muscular strength and balance between the two groups showed a significant difference(p<0.05), but there was no significant difference in their walking ability(pgt;0.05). 3. Therefore, the exercise of strengthening leg muscular strength in this study has a significant effect on old people's walking ability and balance.

Purpose：The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of Taekwondo training causing leg-muscular strength for elementary school children. Methods：The subjects were Taekwondo group (n=20) and non-Taekwondo group (n=20) from 5-6 graders of elementary school. The Tkd group exercised Taekwondo and the non-Taekwondo group exercised free gymnastics. The subjects were measured 3 times(pre, mid and after)during the 8weeks program. The leg muscular strength peak torque and average power were measured. And the extension-flection of angular speed 60 deg/sec and 180 deg/sec was measured. Results：The results of this study can be summarized as follows: 1. Compared with the Tkd group, the non-Tkd group showed no significant difference in tests statistically in case of right-left of pre-4weeks. The leg muscle's peak torque did not show significant difference in the extension angular 60 deg/sec(p>.05). 2. The score of flection angular speed 60deg/sec was not different in tests leg strength of right-left to pre-4weeks(p<.05), but the muscle was increased according to the amount of time spent in case of the 4-8weeks. 3. Compared with the Tkd group, the non-Tkd group showed no significant difference in tests statistically in case of right-left of pre-4weeks. The leg muscle's peak torque did not show significant difference in the extension angular 180deg/sec(p>.05). The right leg muscular strength was increased in case of the 4-8weeks. The left leg showed no difference. 4. Leg muscular strength was increased in the case of the pre-4weeks in the right of flection angular speed 180deg/sec. The left did not show difference. The right leg muscle in case of the 4-8weeks showed no difference. The left showed significant difference. Conclusion：Taekwondo training is effective for leg-muscular strengthing for elementary school children.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of various cool-down exercises on muscular strength and endurance. After receiving a treadmill training for main exercise, the subjects conducted isotonic and isometric cool-down exercises four times for three weeks. Isotonic exercise with leg press of 10kg was repeated by 20 times and isometric exercise was conducted at flexion of hip joint and knee joint with leg press of 10kg by maintaining it for 6 sec and resting for 2 sec by 20 times. Muscular strength after exercise was measured with 1 RM by times and muscular endurance with maximum repetition frequency using time to keep for loading the weight of 10 RM and 65% of maximum muscular strength. As a result of comparing and analyzing measured values, exercise recovery shape of isotonic and isometric cool-down group were more effective than rest recovery shape of the control group. The isometric cool-down group was more effective than isotonic cool-down group. In conclusion, isometric exercise was more effective than isotonic exercise or simple rest on muscular strength and endurance.

Purpose : This study aimed to examine the Influence of muscle strengthening exercise and stretching exercise of trunk extensor muscles on muscular strength and flexibility in adolescent of the twenties. Methods : Muscle strengthening exercise group(n=10), stretching exercise group(n=10) and strengthening and stretching exercise group(n=10) were measured muscular strength by digital back and leg dynamometer and flexibility by sit and reach test and trunk extension test at pre-intervention and post-intervention in 4weeks. Results : The flexibility 1, flexibility 2 and muscular strength of muscle strengthening exercise group were significantly increased within the intervention period(p<.05). The flexibility 2 and muscular strength of stretching exercise group were significantly increased within the intervention period(p<.05). but flexibility 1 was not significantly different at in 4 weeks(p>.05). The flexibility 1, flexibility 2 and muscular strength of muscle strengthening and stretching exercise group were significantly increased within the intervention period(p<.05). Conclusion : We were found that muscle strengthening exercise and stretching exercise of trunk extensor muscles could improve muscular strength and flexibility for adolescent of the twenties.

Purpose: this study was conducted on female university students in supine position and preformed the 2 bridge positions exercises, which are the bridge position exercise and the bridge exercise preformed with form rollers attached between their knees, in order to research the effects lumbar stabilization exercise has on lower extremity muscular strength. Method: In order for the participants to fully understand the topic and procedures of the experiment, they were given a 20 minutes of briefing and practice before the experiment. Result: Bridge exercise group and foam roller group were improved the knee flexion and extension strength. Conclusion: This research studied the difference of each lumbar stabilization positions and the effects they have on the fortification of the leg's flexion extension muscular strength, and by comparing which different exercise methods increase muscular strength the most works to plan a more optimal exercise method for lumbar stabilization.

Purpose: This study examined the effects of an exercise program involving the Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) lower-extremity patterns on the Bone Mineral Density (BMD), balance and lower muscular strength in patients with osteoporosis. Methods: The participants were allocated randomly to 2 groups: experimental group and control group. To evaluate the effects of exercise, the subjects were evaluated using the BMD and Time Up & Go Test and One Leg Stance Test for balance, and the Sit To Stand for lower muscular strength. Results: After the 8 week study, the experimental group showed a significant difference in all items compared to the control groups. Conclusion: These results suggest that a PNF exercise program is effective in patients with osteoporosis. Furthermore, an exercise program involving these patterns can be used in a follow-up program for patients with osteoporosis. Overall, more study will be needed to develop and apply more efficient exercise programs for such patients.

Many studies have emphasized the importance of resistive exercise to maintain a healthy human body, particular in prevention of weakening of physical strength. Recently, some studies advocated that an application of vibration as a supplementary means in a regular training was effective in encouraging physical strength. Aim of the current study was, therefore, to identify if an application of vibration in a resistive exercise was effective in encouraging physical strength as that in a regular training. A 3-dimensional virtual lower extremity model for a healthy male and virtual leg-press model were generated and synchronized. Dynamic leg-press exercises on a slide machine with/without extra load and on a footboard with vibration as well as on a slide machine with extra load were analyzed. The results of the current indicated that the application of the vibration on the dynamic leg-press exercise might be not greatly effective in encouraging physical strength, compared with the dynamic leg press exercise with extra load. It was, however, thought that the application of the vibration might be helpful to elderly individuals because the reduced maximum muscle strength appeared by the effect of the vibration may avoid a muscular spasm, which can be driven from a high muscle strength sometimes produced during the leg-press exercise with extra load.
