The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of carrying postures and weight of load carried one time on a worker when carrying heavy loads. Six male students participated in this study to perform a manual materials carrying task as subjects. To make comparison of work loads with physical work capacity, maximal oxygen uptake measurement tests were performed with submaximal test. The average oxygen consumption for the tasks of this study was 27.59~31.93% $VO_2$max. The results showed that the weight of load carried one time affects on working heart rate and oxygen consumption($VO_2$). It was found that the workload was significantly lower when handling a 20kg load at a frequency rate of 3times/min than when handling a 40kg load at a frequency rate of 1.5 times/min. There was no difference between carrying postures. It is concluded from the results of this study that the workload can be reduced by controlling conditions of a manual materials handling task.

Background: The oxygen uptake efficiency slope (OUES) is the most important index for accurately measuring cardiopulmonary function in patients with acute ischemic heart disease. However, the relationship between the OUES variables and important cardiopulmonary function parameters remain unelucidated for patients with acute ischemic heart disease, which accounts for the largest proportion of heart disease. Objects: The present cross sectional clinical study aimed to determine the multiple relationships among the cardiopulmonary function variables mentioned above in adults with acute ischemic heart disease. Methods: A convenience sample of 110 adult inpatients with ischemic heart disease (age: 57.4 ± 11.3 y; 95 males, 15 females) was enrolled at the hospital cardiac rehabilitation center. The correlation between the important cardiopulmonary function indicators including peak oxygen uptake (VO₂ peak), minute ventilation (VE)/carbon dioxide production (VCO₂) slope, heart rate recovery (HRR), and ejection fraction (EF) and OUES was confirmed. Results: This study showed that OUES was highly correlated with VO₂ peak, VE/VCO₂ slope, and HRR parameters. Conclusion: The OUES can be used as an accurate indicator for cardiopulmonary function. There are other factors that influence aerobic capacity besides EF, so there is no correlation with EF. Effective cardiopulmonary rehabilitation programs can be designed based on OUES during submaximal exercise in patients with acute ischemic heart disease.

본 연구에서는 1시간동안의 최대하운동시 매실함유 음료, 생수 및 기온이온음료 등의 섭취에 따른 호흡가스변인, 심박수 및 혈중 젖산농도의 변화를 비교하여 매실을 주된 성분으로 한 기능성 음료의 효능을 검증하고자 하였다. 1시간 동안의 최대하운동중 산소섭취량 및 환기량의 변화는 음료유형간 유의한 차이는 없었으며, 시기간에는 유의한(P＜0.0001) 차이를 나타냈다. 그러나, Placebo군이 다른 음료유형에 비해서 통계적 유의성은 없으나 다소 높은 환기량을 나타냈으며, 음료 E군이 다소 낮은 환기량을 나타냈다. 또한 산소섭취량에 대한 환기량의 비율은 음료 E군이 현저히 낮은 수준을 나타냈다. 최대하운동중과 회복기의 심박수 및 혈중 젖산농도의 변화도 음료유형간 유의한 차이는 없었으며, 시기간에는 유의한(P＜0.0001) 차이를 나타냈는데 운동중에 증가한 후 회복기에 감소하는 동일한 변화양상을 나타냈다 그러나, Placebo군이 다른 음료유형에 비해서 통계적 유의성은 없으나 다소 높은 심박수 변화양상을 나타냈으며, 매실음료군이 다소 낮은 심박수를 나타냈다. 그러나, Placebo군은 운동중 모든 시기에서 젖산역치수준의 2.25$\pm$0.32mM을 상회하는 혈중 젖산농도를 나타낸데 반해서, Control군과 매실함유음료군은 젖산역치수준의 혈중젖산농도보다 낮게 나타나는 시기가 많았다. 특히 매실함유량이 높은 D군과 E군은 운동중 40분부터 1.44-2.00mM 범위의 현저히 낮은 혈중 젖산농도를 나타냈다. 이상의 결과에서 1시간동안의 최대하운동시 산소섭취량, 심박수 및 혈중 젖산농도의 변화에서 매실함유 음료섭취가 유의한 영향을 미치지는 않았으나, 최대하운동시 매실함유 음료섭취가 환기효율의 증가, 심박수 및 혈중 젖산농도 감소 등과 같은 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 가능성이 제기되었다.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation on pro- and anti-inflammatory markers in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). ACS patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and took medicine during phase II of rehabilitation were recruited for study. Subjects were divided into two groups; exercise group (EX, n=21) and a non-exercise group (non-EX, n=13). Supervised exercise program in hospital consisted of treadmill and bicycle exercise was performed three times per week for 6 weeks. Patients of EX received individual counseling, including knowledge of heart disease, risk factor modification, and physical training. Cardiopulmonary fitness, body composition, and biochemical blood factors were analyzed before and after experiment. There was no significant difference in serum levels of hs-CRP and TGF-${\beta}1$ between groups, and between time intervals. But there was a significant decrease in serum levels of IL-18 (P<.001). And there was a significant increase in ratio of IL-18 to IL-10 (P<.01) and serum levels of IL-10 (P<.001). After cardiac rehabilitation, there was significant increase in exercise duration (P<.001), maximal oxygen uptake ($VO_{2peak}$; P<.001) and decrease in submaximal rate-pressure product (sRPP; P<.05) in EX. In conclusion, exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation during phase II in patients with ACS after PCI decreased serum IL-18 (pro-inflammatory) content and ratio of IL-18 to IL-10 in serum (highly related with disease recurrence), and increased serum IL-10 (anti-inflammatory) content. In addition, it led to improved cardiopulmonary fitness.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the correlations among the resting physical factors related to a six-minute walk test (6MWT) and to determine the effects of the resting physical factors on the distance and intensity related to the 6MWT in healthy female subjects. Methods: A total of 43 healthy female subjects ($22.84{\pm}3.90yrs$) participated in this study. They performed the 6MWT, and the physical factors related to the 6MWT were assessed. SPSS 20.0 was used to analyze the data, and the mean and standard deviation were calculated, and the collected data were analyzed by the Pearson's correlation coefficient (among physical factors related to 6MWT) and independent t-test (between six-minute walk distance [6MWD] groups and six-minute walk intensity [6MWI] groups). Results: The 6MWD had a significant negative correlation with the resting HR (beat/min) in healthy female subjects (r=-0.49, p<0.05). The 6MWI had a significant negative correlation with the resting systolic blood pressure (SBP) (r=-0.45, p<0.01). A comparison of the 6MWD revealed the long distance group (LDG, 700-799 m) to be significantly higher than the middle distance group (MDG, 600-699 m) in the 6MWI (%), %predicted distance (%), predicted VO2max (mL/kg/min), resting HR (beat/min), and resting SBP (mmHg)(p<0.05). In the comparison of 6MWI, the moderate intensity group (MIG, 64-75%HRmax) was significantly lower than the low intensity group (LIG, 50-63%HRmax) in the resting SBP (mmHg) (p<0.05). Conclusion: These results suggest that the resting physical factors are related to the 6MWD and 6MWI of the 6MWT in healthy females. In particular, SBP is associated with not only the 6MWD but also the 6MWI in 6MWT.

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate whether taurine supplementation in combination with fructose improves both energy metabolism and exercise capacity. Eight collegiate female subjects were recruited for the study. Each subject went through threecross-over designs: control(fluid), fructose, and taurine plus fructose supplementation trials. Subjects received taurine supplementation 100 mg/kg a day for two weeks. After the supplementation, all subjects take 10% fructose at 15 min prior to exercise, immediately before exercise, and every 15 min during exercise. Subjects received 150 ml fluid as placebo during the same procedure. The subjects performed submaximal exercise at the exercise intensity of 60% for 45 min and then 80% of maximal oxygen uptake (VO_2max) until exhaustion time. A 10ml blood sample was taken for measuring the level of glucose, ammonia, lactate, free fatty acids, and insulin every 15 min during exercise at 60% of VO_2max. The blood glucose levels was significantly higher at 45 min and 50 min exercise after supplementation of fructose, and immediately before exercise and 50 min exercise after taurine plus fructose compared to the placebo trial. However, the values tended to be lower in taurine plus fructose supplementation compared to the fructose trial. The levels of both lactate and ammonia were significantly lower compared to the placebo, while the exhaustion time was significantly increased. The level of free-fatty acids was significantly lower at 30, 45, and 50 min after fructoseand fructose plus taurine supplementation compared to the placebo trial. The level of glucagon was significantly lower at 15, 30, 45, and 50 min after fructose and fructose plus taurine supplementation compared to the placebo trial. There was no differences in insulin concentration among three treatments. This thesis concludes that combined taurine and fructose supplementation prior to exercise may improve exercise tolerance time and energy metabolism, lowering the muscle fatigue factors such as lactate and ammonia.

연구배경 : 만성폐쇄성 폐질환에서 운동부하 심폐기능검사(이하 운동검사)는 환자에 대한 운동처방이나 수술전의 위험성 평가 동의 목적에 유용하게 이용된다. 운동검사에 포함된 여러 지표들은 최대운동(maximal exercise) 시점에서의 값이 주로 이용되므로 환자가 조기에 운동을 중단하여 최대운동에 도달하지 못하면 심폐기능의 적절한 평가가 어려우며 따라서 이런 경우에도 유용할 수 있는 지표의 개발이 필요하다. 최대운동시의 예비호흡지수는 최대운동중의 환기량과 최대환기량의 비율($V_{Emax}$/MVV)로 만성폐쇄성 폐질환에서는 대부분 비정상적으로 증가된 소견을 보인다. 만일 만성폐쇄성 폐질환 환자에서 최대운동시 뿐만 아니라 무산소역치에서의 예비호흡지수도 역시 증가되어 있다면 최대운동에 도달하지 못한 환자의 운동검사 결과의 해석에 유용할 것으로 판단된다. 방 법 : 만성폐쇄성 폐질환 환자 36명(남 34명, 여 2명)과 정상대조군 42명(남 22명, 여 20명)을 대상으로 운동부하 심폐기능검사를 시행하였다. 결 과 : 만성폐쇄성 폐질환 환자의 FVC(mean$\pm$SE) $3102.8{\pm}132.7mL$, $FEV_1$ (mean$\pm$SE) $1754.7{\pm}108.6mL$, $FEV_1/FVC$ $54.94{\pm}1.62$% 이었으며 정상대조군에서는 FVC(mean$\pm$SE) $4429.3{\pm}142.4mL$, $FEV_1$ (mean$\pm$SE) $3808.6{\pm}111.1mL$, $FEV_1$/FVC $86.05{\pm}0.80$% 이었다. 만성페쇄성 폐질환 환자와 정상대조군의 $VO_{2max}$의 평균은 $1.06{\pm}0.07L/min$와 $2.14{\pm}0.09L/min$ 였으며(p<0.01), 예상치에 대한 백분율은 각각 $54.3{\pm}3.0$%와 $86.0{\pm}1.9$% 이었다(p<0.05). R값 1.09를 기준으로 만성 폐쇄성 폐질환 환자에서 최대운동에 도달한 사람은 36명 중 7명(19.4%), 정상대조군에서는 42명 중 18명(42.9%)이었다. 만성폐쇄성 폐질환 환자와 정상대조군의 무산소역치에서의 예비호흡지수는 $0.50{\pm}0.03$과 $0.28{\pm}0.02$이었다(p<0.01). 최대운동을 수행한 만성폐쇄성 폐질환 환자에서 무산소역치에서의 예비호흡지수과 최대운동시의 예비호흡지수는 유의한 상관관계를 보였다(r=0.9687, p<0.01). 결 론 : 무산소역치에서의 예비호흡지수는 만성폐쇄성 폐질환 환자군과 정상대조군사이에 유의한 차이를 보였으며, 최대운동에서의 예비호흡지수와도 유의한 상관관계를 보였다. 따라서 무산소역치에서의 예비호흡지수는 최대운동에 이르지 못한 만성폐쇄성 폐질환 환자의 평가 지표로 유용할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구의 목적은 신체변인과 최대하 대사반응을 이용하여 최대산소섭취량(VO₂max)을 간편하고 정확하게 추정하는 데 있다. 18~34세 남성 250명을 대상으로 추정집단(n=179)과 타당도 검증집단(n=71)으로 나누어 최대 운동부하검사를 실시하였으며 3분인 1단계와 6분인 2단계 종료 시점의 대사반응을 측정하였다. 추정 집단을 대상으로 단계선택법(stepwise method)으로 다중회귀분석 (multiple regression analysis)을 실시하였다. 단계별분석법으로 분석한 모형 1의 추정변인은 체중, 6분HR, 6분VO₂이고 R은 0.64(p<.01)이었으며 SEE와 CV는 각각 4.74, 11.7%로 나타났고(p<.01), 추정식은 VO₂max(ml/kg/min)= 72.256-0.340(Weight)-0.220(6분HR)+0.013(6분VO₂)이며 다중공선성이 나타나지 않았다. 모형 2의 추정변인은 체중, 6분HR, 6분VO₂, 6분VCO₂이고 R은 0.66(p<.01)이었으며 SEE와 CV는 각각 4.59, 11.3%로 나타났고(p<.01), 추정식은 VO₂max(ml/kg/min)= 68.699-0.277(Weight) -0.206(6분HR)+0.020(6분VO₂)-0.009(6분VCO₂)이며, 역시 다중공선성이 나타나지 않았다. 모형 1과 비교했을 때 모형 2는 상관이 더 높지만 다중공선성 측면에서는 다소 불리하게 나타났다. 모형 1과 모형 2를 교차타당도 검증집단에 적용했을 때, 측정된 VO₂max와 추정된 VO₂Max 간에 유의한 상관관계가 나타났다(R=0.53, 0.56, P<.001). 타당도 검증을 통해 유용성과 간편성을 고려하면, 본 연구에서 얻은 신체변인 및 최대하 대사반응을 이용한 추정모형들이 모두 사용가능하나 모형 2가 정확도 측면에서 다소 유리하다.
