摘要

目的：本研究旨在探討中老年人身體活動量、功能性體適能及睡眠品質的狀況、差異情形及其關係。方法：以參加樂齡大學之學員為受試者（男性18位和女性39位，平均年齡61.5±4.4歲），進行功能性體適能檢測並完成身體活動量表（IPAQ）和匹茲堡睡眠品質量表（PSQI）問卷，以描述性統計、獨立樣本t 考驗及皮爾森積差相關分析各項資料。結果：1.男性中老年人在總身體活動量及坐姿時間均明顯少於女性。2.男性中老年人在站立測驗、抓背測驗及坐姿體前彎均明顯低於女性；但在握力項目明顯高於女性。3.中老年人身體活動量越高，上肢肌力越低；而心肺耐力及上肢柔軟度越佳。4.中老年人身體活動量越高，PSQI之總分越低，即擁有越佳睡眠品質。結論：建議中老年人規律性的從事各項身體活動，增加身體活動量，以增進體適能及睡眠品質，達成健康促進的目的。
