良好的運動習慣,除了運動本身,還應有熱身運動及冷卻運動以減少運動後靜脈血液回流不足之姿勢性低血壓及心肌缺血等問題。此外,運動之方式及頻率、時間,也是影響運動對人體影響的因子。 本研究採問卷方式,任意訪問273名一般民眾,年齡分佈由17 4歲,性別男性145位,女性128位,調查受訪者之運動習慣,熱身及冷卻習慣,運動傷害之處理。 結果發現,受訪者最近一年有從事運動之比例為43.2%,男性53.4%女性46.6%,每週有三次以上運動者男性22.8%呢,女性18.3%。有暖身運動習慣者78.0%,有冷卻運動習慣者11.8%。運動傷害後尋西醫之比例34.6%,中醫之比例31.3%,民俗醫療21.1%。自覺運動後身心獲改善的佔95%。 由此初步調查顯示,經常運動之比例並不高佔20.5%,而有冷卻運動習慣也只有11.9%,顯示運動之良好習慣及推動仍有待進一步之教育推展。
A good exercise habit should include warm-up, aerobic exercise, and cool down. The latter can prevent post-exercise venous pooling and reduce the risk of postural hypotension and myocardial ischemia. Besides, the frequency, duration, and mode of exercise also related to the benefits of exercise. This study investigated the exercise habit of 273 randomly selected (145 men, 128 women) ordinary people by questionnaire. The age ranged from 17 to 74 years. The results show that 43.2% of the investigated people have participated in exercise during recent one year. Among them 53.4% were male and 46.6% were female. Twenty-two point eight percent of male and 18.3% of female subjects investigated exercised more them 3 times per week. Seventy-eight percent of them did warm-up before exercise and 11.8% of them did cool-down after exercise. Thirty-four point six percent of the people who had sports injury visited qualified physicians; 31.3% of the injury people visited herb doctor and 21.1% of the injury people visited Chinese chiropractician. Ninety-five percent of the people who exercised regularly felt improvement in both physical capacity and psychological profile. From this preliminary report, we find that 20.5% of the investigated subjects have exercise habit, and only 11.9% among them did cool down after exercise. It means that the concept of a good exercise habit needs more educative work, more promotion and more investigation. It is concluded that lacking of exercise is universal in the investigated population, and the importance of exercise should be emphasized through education.
