복합트레이닝이 고령여성 관절염환자의 우울에 미치는 영향

초록

The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of combined training on depression in elderly female arthritis patients. 21 women(73.33±5.78 yrs) was trained for 60 min per day, 3 times per week for 12 weeks. Each day resistance and aerobic exercises were performed. Depression was measured and compared before and after intervention. We used the Geriatric Depression Screening Scale(GDS; 30 items) which is developed by Yesavage, Terence, & Owan(1983), modified and interpreted by Jung, Gwak, & Shin(1997). The tests were analyzed with using the paired t-test. There was no significance difference on depression. However, after 12 weeks of combined training, depression was decreased. Therefore, we can expect the positive effects on the depression if both combined training and individual exercise prescription can be performed for more than 12 weeks.
