Purpose : According to the Korean Diabetes Association, the number of metabolic disease patients in Korea is approximately 14.97 million as of 2020;, the prevalence of diabetes among adults over 30 years old is 44.3 %, and the prevalence of diabetes in the elderly over 65 years old is 50.4%. These individuals exposed to the risk of complications. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine a distribution method for a customized fusion exercise marine healing program for metabolic disease patients. Methods : We have searched numerous papers concerning artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and marine resources related to marine healing programs that can be introduced in marine healing centers for people with metabolic diseases Results : Through the production of various marine resources and evidence-based exercise programs, the provision of exercise programs using AI, and the development of exercise platforms using AR and VR, we were able to establish guidelines for how to operate marine healing programs at marine healing centers. Conclusion : Korea has much more diverse marine healing resources than other advanced countries in the marine healing industry. However, the development of these resources has only just begun. It is hoped that the studied marine healing program will be of great help to metabolic patients by creating contents that will be implemented in marine healing centers by using the cutting-edge technologies and various marine resources that Korea possesses.

Background: If there is a difference in leg length, the center of gravity shifts unilaterally toward the short leg, causing loss of balance and secondary postural imbalance, trunk muscle tone changes, gait abnormalities and pelvic imbalance. Objectives: To investigate effects of self exercise program on leg length, balance in adults with leg-length discrepancy. Design: Single blind randomized controlled trial. Methods: Twenty-eight participants were selected and divided into resistance exercise, flexibility exercise, and core exercise. Each exercise was performed for 40 minutes, 3 times a week for 6 weeks. Leg length and balance before and after exercise were measured and analyzed. Results: Following the interventions, resistance exercise group showed significant improvement in balance, but leg length difference did not show significant results. Flexibility exercise group showed significant improvement in leg length difference, but balance did not show significant results. Core exercise group showed significant improvement in leg length difference and balance. There was no significant difference in the comparison between the three groups. Conclusion: This study suggests that customized exercise according to the patient's level is beneficial to the patients.

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze domestic and foreign studies using virtual reality or metaverse for exercise rehabilitation in order to help the disabled or elderly patients with exercise rehabilitation, and suggest a method for using metaverse for exercise rehabilitation. Method: In this study, after analyzing and discussing various information related to the metaverse and exercise rehabilitation through electronic search of recently published papers, academic journals, books, and internet websites, the exercise rehabilitation plan using the metaverse was proposed. Results: In the case of domestic research, the diversity of virtual reality application technology for the rehabilitation of disabled and elderly patients was not secured, but recently, virtual reality or metaverse-related technologies were developed and specialized in a form suitable for exercise rehabilitation. In the case of overseas studies, it was analyzed that exercise rehabilitation using virtual reality and metaverse games for the rehabilitation of disabled and elderly patients can help improve brain, physical ability, and anti-aging by activating the body and mind. Conclusion: Smart metaverse health care is actively introduced to exercise rehabilitation, metaverse telemedicine business is applied to exercise rehabilitation programs, and digital twin games and exercise rehabilitation programs developed by metaverse related companies take into account the characteristics of disabled and elderly patients. If customized smart metaverse healthcare is used for exercise rehabilitation, it is analyzed that it can lead this field.

This paper proposes a customized AI exercise recommendation service for balancing the relative amount of exercise according to the working environment by each occupation. WISDM database is collected by using acceleration and gyro sensors, and is a dataset that classifies physical activities into 18 categories. Our system recommends a adaptive exercise using the analyzed activity type after classifying 18 physical activities into 3 physical activities types such as whole body, upper body and lower body. 1 Dimensional convolutional neural network is used for classifying a physical activity in this paper. Proposed model is composed of a convolution blocks in which 1D convolution layers with a various sized kernel are connected in parallel. Convolution blocks can extract a detailed local features of input pattern effectively that can be extracted from deep neural network models, as applying multi 1D convolution layers to input pattern. To evaluate performance of the proposed neural network model, as a result of comparing the previous recurrent neural network, our method showed a remarkable 98.4% accuracy.

Purpose: TIn an aging society, maintaining the physical and mental health of middle-aged and older adults and enhancing their quality of life have become significant social challenges. This study aimed to explore the effectiveness, limitations, and areas for improvement of AI-based motion analyzers by providing a personalized exercise program to 21 individuals aged 50 and above who utilized the OO Comprehensive Social Welfare Center. Research design, data and methodology: Over six months, participants engaged in personalized exercise programs designed by the motion analyzer, and their results were analyzed. Results: The analysis revealed that AI-based motion analyzers hold promising potential as effective tools for improving the health of middle-aged and older adults. Conclusions: By collecting and quantitatively analyzing participants' exercise performance data in real time, motion analyzers were confirmed to possess practical potential for active application in health management and rehabilitation therapy processes.

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of virtual reality(VR) exercise using XBOX $Kinect^{TM}$ on the scoliometer angle and muscle activities of the trunk. The subjects of the study were 13 young adults who devided into a virtual reality-based exercise group(VREG, n = 7) and a traditional stabilization exercise group(TSEG, n = 6). The VREG received virtual reality game for 5 days a weeks, 30 minutes a day, for a 2 weeks and the TSEG received general trunk stabilization exercise for the same period and frequency. The subjects were measured and compared for muscle activities of trunk stabilization before and after the program. VREG tend to decrease more than TSEG in scoliometer angle. In addition, VREG showed a significant decrease in muscle activities of multifidus. This study presents the impact of virtual reality-based exercise program on trunk balance and stabilization. The following studies need customized programs for subjects that trunk balance and stabilization is required.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate influence of contract-relax exercise on functional leg length inequality (FLLI) and muscle activity. Methods: The subjects were consisted of 40 healthy adults who had FLLI of which degree was at least 10mm. All subjects were randomly assigned to two groups : Contract-Relax Exercise (CRE) group (n=20), control group (n=20). The experimental group underwent CRE for 3 times a week for 4 weeks. Myosystem 1200 was used to measure the activity of rectus femoris and hamstring muscle. The tape measure method was used to measure FLLI. Statistical analysis was used repeated ANOVA know comparison of period, independent T-est know comparison of experiment group and control group. Results: All measurements for each subject took the following test : pre-test, post-test in 2 weeks, post-test in 4 weeks. The FLLI of the experimental group was significantly reduced according to within intervention period (p<0.05). Rectus femoris and hamstring muscle activity of the experimental group was significantly increased (p<0.05). Conclusion: The CRE can reduce FLLI and increase rectus femoris and hamstring muscle activity. Various contract-relax exercise for reduced of FLLI and the methods should be customized for the patients.
