團體有氧運動對某醫院女性員工健康體適能之成效
The Effect of Group Aerobic Exercise on the Health-Fitness of Female Hospital Staffs
摘要
Moderate exercise enhances health and helps prevent disease. Females tend to exercise less than males. This study used a quasi-experimental design to investigate the efficacy of a group aerobic exercise intervention on the health-fitness of sedentary female employees at a hospital. Seventy-six qualified individuals were recruited as subjects, with 38 randomly assigned, respectively, to exercise and control groups. Cardiopulmonary endurance, body mass, muscle strength, muscle endurance, and flexibility of all subjects were measured prior to and after the intervention. Those in the exercise group participated in a 40-60 minute group aerobic exercise three times a week for 8 weeks. Subjects in the control group maintained a normal daily regimen. Results showed that, at the conclusion of the intervention program, values for cardiopulmonary endurance, body mass, muscle strength, muscle endurance, and flexibility were all significantly better for exercise group subjects than for their control group peers (p＜0.05). In conclusion, group aerobic exercise is an effective approach to improving the health-fitness of individuals working at hospitals.
