摘要

隨著高齡化社會的來到，台灣將從勞動力充沛的情形慢慢轉變成嚴重的少子化以及人口老化的現象，預計到了2060年將成為超高齡社會。如何使老年人能夠獨立且安全的去完成每天正常的身體活動，提昇老年人的功能性體適能將是不可忽視的重要議題。阻力訓練可改善老年人的肌力、肌耐力、肌肉質量及骨質密度，增進其功能性體適能。然而，老年人隨著年齡的增長，爆發力下滑的程度比肌力的流失更多、更快，對於老年人日常生活上的需求來說，例如，閃避迎面而來的車輛、向前跌倒的瞬間力量的抵消等等，爆發力比起肌力更能應付這些突發狀況。本研究透過文獻分析比較發現，爆發力阻力訓練比起傳統的阻力訓練能更有效地提升老年人的功能性體適能，對老年人改善其日常生活的獨立性與功能性效果相對顯著。

With aging society in Taiwan, the conditions of abundant labors has transformed gradually into that of severe low birth-rate and aging population. An estimate suggests that by 2060 it is to be a hyper-aged society. It is an issue of importance regarding how to have the elderly be independent and ensuring their safety to accomplish daily physical activities and to promote their functional fitness. Resistance training can improve muscle strength, muscle endurance, muscle mass and bone density, bettering the functional fitness. However, with aged elderly, the decreasing level at which the power loses is more and faster than that of muscle strength. With respect to their daily needs, for instance, to dodge the vehicles toward themselves and to weaken the instant power caused by falling off and so on, power is better at coping with these sudden situations than muscle strength. The study through the analysis of comparative references finds that it is not only more effective to level up the elderly's functional fitness by power resistance training than by traditional one, but also improves daily independency and functional effects for the elderly's daily lives.
