摘要

本篇研究的主要目的在建立正常中國成年人雙手舉物肌力值的資料庫，以及調查年齡、性別、體重和身高與雙手舉物肌力值的影響關係。350位正常成年人(男172位、女178位)利用一套力量評做測試系統(FET 5000)，在三種不同雙手舉物姿勢下(臂舉、背舉、腿舉)做肌力測試。
結果顯示：無論男女，三種不同姿勢的舉物肌力平均高峰值出現在25歲至35歲之間，然後隨著年齡的增加而逐漸減少；其中，以退舉的肌力值隨著年齡的增加而減少最為明顯。男性在三種不同姿勢的舉物肌力值都比女性大。年齡、性 別、體重和身高等人體參數量值和三種舉物肌力值在統計學上都有明顯重要的相關性；其中，年齡、性別和體重可做為三種舉物肌力的重要預測因子，身高可做為背舉肌力的重要預測因子。
本篇的結果，可以提供物理治療師對於舉物受傷病人在復健治療方面，做為日後肌力恢復評估的參考。

The purposes of this study were to describe norms of isometric lifting strength for healthy Chinese adults and to investigate the effects of age, gender, body weight, and body height on lifting strength. Three types of lifting (i.e., arm, back, and leg lifting) were measured in a sample of 350 Chinese adults (172 men and 178 women) aged be-tween 20 and 81 years. A Force Evaluation and Testing System (FET 5000) was used for strength measurements with three standard lifting positions. The average of two trials for each lifting strength test was used as the subjects’ test score.
The results showed that the greatest strengths for both sexes exist aged between late 20’s and early 30’s, with a general decline following thereafter. The magnitude of strength decline with age was most prominent in leg lifting strength among all lifting pa-tterns. Males were stronger than females in all lifting patterns among the different age groups. All of the lifting strengths studied correlated positively with gender, body weight, and body height, and negatively with age in the analyses of simple correlation coefficients. In addition, stepwise multiple regression analyses showed that sex, age and body weight were most predictive of all types of lifting strengths. Body height was an effective predictor ofbacklifting strength. These findings and the establishment of data base can provide therapists with an objective evaluation regarding lifting strength of in-dividuals for clinical use.
