ABSTRACT |
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of exercise program with added weight on human function, active fitness and quality of life in the frail elderly. Thirty-two frail female elderly were participated in the study(exercise group: sixteen, non-exercise group: sixteen). The exercise program was carried out three per week for 12weeks. Data were analyzed with χ2-test, paired t-test and independent t-test using SPSS program. The results were as follows; Exercise program for the frail elderly showed statistically significant effects on improving human function(62.5%), grip strength(dominant: 31.9%, non-dominant: 31.8%), single leg stand(111.7%), Timed up & go(21.9%). Quality of life(21.5%) also showed statistically significant improvement after exercise training, but not statistically significant compared to the non-exercise group.
