KINECT 體感技術的應用：性別與訓練的難易度對體適能的影響

The Application of Kinect Motion Sensing Techniques: Effects of Gender and Difficulty for Kinect Training in Physical Fitness

隨著科技的進步，辦公室或是室內的運動可被體感遊戲所取代，近年來Kinect 體感遊戲更被應用於醫療復健領域。有鑑於此，本研究共徵募20 名受試者來探討應用Kinect 於體感訓練的影響。本研究的目的為評估性別 （男、女）、Kinect 訓練的難易度 （無使用、難度易、難度中、難度難） 在仰臥起坐、交互蹲跳及肌力抬舉之完成時間和心率增量的影響。研究方法為二因子變異數分析，結果發現性別在完成時間與心率增量有顯著差異且男性的績效顯著優於女性，Kinect 訓練的難易度在完成時間及心率增量均有顯著的影響。結論建議廠商應使用難以上的訓練程度才能讓有無使用Kinect 進行訓練有所差異。整體而言，應用Kinect 體感遊戲能有效提升仰臥起坐、交互蹲跳和肌力抬舉的績效。

With the advancement of technology, physical exercises can be replacedby motion sensing games, no matter if it is in an office or an indoorenvironment. In recent years, motion sensing games have been applied inmedical rehabilitation. Based on the above facts, twenty participants wererecruited to train using a Kinect sensor. The purpose of this research is toinvestigate the role of gender (female and male) and the difficulty of training (none, easy, medium, and hard) on operation time and change ofheart rate for three exercises including sit ups, split jump squats, and lifting.A two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used as the researchmethodology. The results found significant differences for gender inoperation time and in change of heart rate. Male participants had betterperformance in their operation time for three exercises and in their changeof heart rate for sit ups. The results also found significant differences indifficulty of training for operation time and change of heart rate. Theconclusion suggests that the hard difficulty level set by manufacturers is aneffective setting in Kinect training. In general, using a motion sensinggame could effectively improve people’s performance in sit ups, split jumpsquats, and lifting.
