社區中老年人規律運動方案介入之成效

The effectiveness of regular exercise intervention program into community elders

探討中老年人規律運動之現況及規律運動介入後對規律運動的知識、行為改變與自我效能之成效，採準實驗研究法，台中市社區關懷據點中老年人為研究對象，實驗組及對照組各30人，兩組均做前、後測問卷，僅實驗組介入四週規律運動。以SPSS22版進行描述性統計及單因子共變數分析。結果：規律運動知識答對率76%。實驗組之行為改變與自我效能有顯著提升，知識未有顯著差異，「規律運動的原則是每週三次每次30分鐘，每次心跳達130下」、「運動可以降低三酸甘油脂」及「每日一萬步，健康有保固」有顯著差異。結論：規律運動介入對中老年人之行為改變與自我效能有正面提昇之效果。建議：推廣中老年人規律運動。

The purpose of this research aimed at discussing the elders’ current state of regular exercise, their knowledge of exercise, behavior change, and self-efficacy after intervening regular exercise. This research applied the Experimental Method, and the target were elders in Taichung Community. Thirty elders were in experiment group and the other thirty were in the control group, both of which accepted preand post-tests. Only experiment group implemented in 4-week regular exercise program; while the control group received none. The collected data analyze with SPSS to carry out analytical statistic. The result revealed that experiment group answered correctly more than 76% questions in the test of exercise knowledge. It was obvious that behavior change and self-efficacy of the experiment group had significantly, but exercise knowledge showed no significantly difference between the two groups. However, among all the questions, the three ones included “The principle of regular exercise is to exercise 3 times each week, 30 minutes each time, and the times of heartbeat should reach 130 times per minute.” “Regular exercise helps reduce triglyceride (the fat in blood).” and “Walking 10,000 steps every day contributes to one’s health.” the answering performance of the experiment group was superior to the other. In conclusion, the intervention of regular exercise program benefited community elders both on behavior change and on self-efficacy, so popularizing the elder regular exercise program was suggested.
