摘要

本研究主要目的在比較有無規律慢跑運動中老年人的平衡能力與下肢肌力。受試者為長期規律從事慢跑運動與無規律運動的中老年人，年齡介於55~70歲之間，每組50人，共100人，分別進行閉眼單足立測驗、靜態伸展測驗、八呎起立-走測驗、敏捷與動態平衡測驗、十公尺閉眼直線走測驗、30秒坐椅站立測驗。將測驗所得資料以獨立樣本t考驗與皮爾遜積差相關進行統計分析處理，研究結果如下：
慢跑組與無規律運動組在靜態伸展測驗、八呎起立-走測驗、敏捷與動態平衡測驗、30秒坐椅站立測驗四個測驗項目上達顯著差異（p<.05）。但是在閉眼單足立測驗、十公尺閉眼直線走測驗並未達顯著差異（p<.05）。30秒坐椅站立與靜態平衡能力的靜態伸展、動態平衡能力的八呎起立-走和敏捷與動態平衡均達顯著相關（p< .05）。但30秒坐椅站立與靜態平衡能力的閉眼單足立、動態平衡能力的十公尺閉眼直線走並無顯著相關（p< .05）。
根據研究結果，慢跑運動可以提升中老年人的平衡能力、下肢肌力，相信能預防中老年人跌倒的發生，本研究也鼓勵各年齡層的民眾，可以選擇慢跑作為終身運動，但是，建議在慢跑前可加入靜態及動態平衡的動作控制訓練。

The purpose of this study was to investigate the difference of balance and lower-extremity strength in middle-aged and elderly men engaged in jogging exercise. Totally 100 volunteers,aged from 55-70 years old,included jogging and sedentary controls,were asked to perform the following tests.These tests included one-leg stance test with eye-closed,functional reach test,8-foot up and go test,agility/dynamic balance test,10-meter straight walk test with eye-closed,30-second chair stand test. All the data were collected and analyzed with independent-samples t test and Pearson’s product-moment correlation. The results were shown as followed:
The functional reach test,8-foot up and go test,agility/dynamic balance test,and 30-second chair stand test of Jogging group were significantly better than those of sedentary controls（p<.05）,but the one-leg stance test with eye-closed,10-meter straight walk test with eye-closed of this two groups were not significantly different from each other（p<.05）.The 30-second chair stand test significantly correlate with functional reach test of static balance and 8-foot up and go test,agility/dynamic balance test of dynamic balance（p<.05）.But The 30-second chair stand test did not significantly correlate with one-leg stance test with eye-closed of static balance and 10-meter straight walk test with eye-closed of dynamic balance（p<.05）.
According to the results,jogging can enhance the elderly men’s ability of Balance and Lower-extremity Strength,which can prevent the fall of middle-aged and elderly men.I encourage people in every age that can select jogging as lifelong exercise,but,I suggest that you can have the motor-controled training of static balance and dynamic balance before you go jogging.
