This study proposed 'Body Food,' an interactive tactile mat that provides interactive visual responses and induces physical activity in young children at the time of developing tactile and five senses, along with the touch of various stimuli. The product combines fiber materials and digital content to achieve a variety of visual and auditory responses in real time when children touch the fabric. User tests were conducted for 4-year-olds and the result was positive in terms of physical exercise and artistic experience, but quantitative testing is required to generalize it. In the future, we will complement physical and digital contents to realize more complete product.

In this paper, the effects of the external-rotation exercise on the gait of hemiplegia was investigated. 26 patients with hemiplegia due to cerebrovascular accident participated in this study. Subjects were randomly assigned to experimental group(n=12) and control one(n=14). 12 subjects of the experimental group were received the external rotation reducing exercise on the mat with seating and supine posture after the general therapeutic exercise for hemiplegia. 14 subjects of the control group were received only general therapeutic exercise. The effects of external rotation reducing exercise were evaluated by measurements of gait velocity, cadence, stride length, step length and foot angle using ink-foot prints. The collected data were analyzed statistically based on Wilcoxon, Mann-Whitney and correlation analysis. After treatment of three weeks, it turned out that external rotation reducing exercise has the significant effect on foot angle(p<0.01). However the exercise has no statistically significant direct effect on the gait velocity, cadence, stride length and step length.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of multisensory exercise on foot pressure sensitivity and balance for the elderly. Method : The subjects were 17 elderly women (11 for the experimental group and 6 for the control group) with a mean age of 83. The subjects all lived in senior residence centers in Seoul. Multisensory exercise was done twice a week for 40 minutes during a 12 week period. Exercise programs were changed every 3 weeks according to the principal of gradual progress of the exercise. In order to train the vision system subjects were asked to open and close their eyes during exercise. When it came to training the vestibular system, subjects stood and walked on high elastic mats with their bare feet. For the somatasensory system subjects always stood and walked with their bare feet. The sub-Metatarsal Pad Elasticity Acquisition Instrument (MPEAI) was used to measure foot pressure sensitivity. MFT Balance test (V1.7) was used to measure anterior / posterior and medial / lateral directional balance. For the statistical analysis the IBM SPSS 21.0 was used to perform Repeatde measured ANOVA and Wilcoxon ranked test. Results : For the multisensory exercise group Hallux (after 6 weeks, 12 weeks), heel (after 6 weeks) and 2nd Metartarsal $40^{\circ}$ (after 6 weeks) pressure sensitivity increased statistically, but the control group didn't change. Also, balance didn't change for the experimental and control group statistically. Conclusion : Exercise with bare feet on a high elastic mat had a partially positive effect on foot sensitivity.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of submerged relaxation therapy for the spasticity on the affected side in three subjects with post-stroke hemiparesis. A single-subject alternating design with multiple baselines across individuals was employed in this study. Each subject alternately participated in a range of motion exercises on the mat and in the pool, and relaxation exercises in the pool. The muscle tone of the affected side was measured using the tone assessment scale (TAS). Measurements were made immediately and one hour following the intervention. The findings showed a therapeutic effect of submerged relaxation exercise on reducing spasticity for all subjects. The effect of submerged relaxation exercise on decreasing muscle tone was maintained for one hour measurements after the submerged relaxation exercise, although the mean TAS score assessed one hour after intervention was higher than that assessed immediately. The results of this study suggest that submerged relaxation exercise has a positive effect on decreasing spasticity on the affected side in persons suffering from post-stroke hemiparesis. Future research on submerged relaxation exercise should focus on objective evaluation and functional the aspects relevant to activities of daily living.

본 연구는 요부안정화에 도움이 되는 불안정 기저면의 운동인 공운동, 전신진동운동, 매트운동을 선택하여 각 운동조건의 체간과 하지의 근 활성도(%RVC)를 비교한 결과, 배속빗근은 전신진동기조건에서 매트조건보다 유의하게 증가하였고(p<.05), 넙다리곧은근과 장딴지안쪽갈래근은 공과 전신진동기조건에서 매트조건 보다 유의하게 증가하였으며(p<.05), 오금안쪽갈래근은 공조건에서 매트조건 보다 유의하게 증가하였다(p<.05). 세 가지 운동방법으로 4주간 안정화운동프로그램을 진행시킨 결과, 세 운동군 모두 운동전보다 운동 후에 각 방향에서 안정성한계의 유의한 증가가 있었다(p<.05). 각 운동군의 운동 전 후의 안정성한계의 차이 값을 비교한 결과, 각 운동군에서 네 방향(전 후 좌 우)의 안정성한계에 유의한 차이가 없었다(p>.05). 따라서 교각자세에서의 요부안정화 운동방법 중에서 체간근과 하지근육의 근활성도는 공과 전신진동기 운동에서 더 증가되었지만, 안정화운동 4주후에는 세 운동 모두 자세안정성을 증진시키는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 스마트매트와 카메라 센서를 이용한 가상현실 체험형 운동게임 시스템 설계 및 구현하였다. 사용자 상반신 운동자세인식을 위해 키넥트 카메라 센서를 활용하고 사용자의 걷기 동작을 정확하게 인식하고 다음 취해야할 걷기 운동 동작에 대한 가이드를 제공하기 위해서 LED 표시가 가능한 스마트 매트를 개발하였다. 이를 통합하고 기능성 게임의 재미요소를 결합하여 실제 운동 상황에서 사용자에게 실시간으로 상호작용 정보를 제공하는 가상현실 체험형 운동게임 통합 시스템을 설계 및 구현하였다. 사용자들이 보다 자립적이고 독립적으로 가정 및 건강증진 관련 기관에서 쉽게 운동하는데 기여하는 체험형 운동게임 시스템으로 활용될 것이다.

The purposes of this study were to compare core muscle activities with and without the use of Pilates resistive equipment during bridging exercises and to investigate the efficacy of a Pilates device. Fourteen healthy individuals (6 males, 8 females) between 20 to 26 years of age were examined. They were engaged in a bridging exercise with and without a magic circle. Three consecutive repetitions of each exercise were performed. Surface electromyography (sEMG) was used to measure the electrical activities of the right side internal oblique, the adductor longus, the multifidus, and the gluteus maximus muscles. Normalized EMG activities were compared using a paired t-test and the level of significance was set at =.05. The results showed that the EMG activities of the internal oblique (p=.0078), the adductor longus (p=.0007), and the gluteus maximus (p=.0001) muscles were significantly higher when using the magic circle during the Pilates bridging exercise. Also, statistically significant change existed in the multifidus muscle (p=.0106). The bridging exercise, combined with hip adduction using the magic circle, may enhance core stabilization. Therefore, using a magic circle during hip adduction combined with bridging exercise may be recommended usefully for individuals wanting to strength the core muscles. Further research is needed to access the nature of motor control of the Pilates mat exercises and to deliver exercise intervention for lower back pain patients.

본 연구는 필라테스 동작 시 폼롤러의 적용과 움직임에 따른 몸통과 하지의 근활성도 차이를 알아보는 것이 목적이다. 피험자로 남자 8명을 선정하여 필라테스 네발자세, 교각자세, 코어컨트롤 동작을 매트위에서 정적동작, 폼롤러 위에서 정적동작, 폼롤러 위에서 동적동작으로 무선배정하여 1주 간격으로 수행하였다. 각 동작의 수행 시 척추세움근, 배곧은근, 배바깥빗근, 중간볼기근, 넙다리두갈래근과 넙다리곧은근의 근활성도를 측정하여 일원분산분석으로 분석하였다. 유의수준은 ${\alpha}=.05$로 설정하였다. 첫째, 네발기기 동작에서 폼롤러 동적동작에서는 배곧은근, 배바깥빗근, 중간볼기근, 넙다리두갈래근의 근활성도가 높게 나타났으며(p<.001)(p<.05), 폼롤러 정적동작에서는 넙다리곧은근의 근활성도가 높게 나타났다(p<.001). 둘째, 교각자세 동작에서 폼롤러 동적동작에서는 넙다리두갈래근의 근활성도가 높게 나타났다(p<.001). 셋째, 코어컨트롤 동작에서 폼롤러 동적 동작에서는 배곧은근, 척추세움근, 중간볼기근의 근활성도가 높게 나타났으며(p<.001)(p<.01), 정적 동작에서는 배바깥빗근의 근활성도가 높게 나타났다(p<.05). 필라테스 운동시 근활성도를 고려하여 방법과 난이도를 적용하면 더욱더 효과적일 것이라 사료된다.

The purpose of this study is to identify the effects of pilates exercises on the body composition and satisfaction level of female college students, and, to do so, pilates classes were provided for female college students for 8 weeks. Their level of satisfaction was surveyed and their body composition before and after participating in the classes was also measured. Out of a total of 40 subjects, those who did not diligently participate in the pilates classes were excluded, and the data of 22 subjects who continued to participate in the classes were analyzed only. The components of body composition measured before and after the 8-week pilates exercise program showed that body fat percentage and abdominal fat percentage were reduced, while lean body mass increased. The level of satisfaction of the group of those who performed pilates exercises for 8 weeks showed positive effects. It will be necessary to develop various systematic and science-based pilates exercise programs that are customized for different age groups in order to reduce the level of the components of body composition associated with obesity.
