摘要

Purpose: To investigate the effects of six weeks vibration with static stretching training on functional fitness in elderly female. Methods: Thirty elderly female participated in this study. The functional fitness (grasp test, 30s chair stand test, chair sit-and-reach test, open-eye stand on right foot test, 8-foot up and go test and two-minute step) was measured prior to training and all participants then were randomly assigned to vibration (VT, n=15) and control (CON, n=15) groups. During the 6 weeks training, VT group performed whole body vibration with static stretching training (amplitude: 1.5 mm, frequency: 25 Hz, 7 exercises, 3×30 sec, 1 min rest between sets, 3 times per week), while CON group did not perform any physical activity. The functional fitness was measured after 6 weeks training. The data was analyzed by ANCOVA, and the significance was set at α = .05. Results: The results indicated that the chair sit and reach test (31.41 ± 7.23 vs. 23.82 ± 9.35 cm), 30s chair stand test (19.84 ± 3.12 vs. 14.46 ± 2.71 times), open eye stand on right foot test (17.35 ± 12.75 vs. 11.7 ± 16.76 sec) and 8 foot up and go test (5.14 ± 1.26 vs. 8.31 ± 2.15 sec) of VT group were significantly higher than those of CON group (p ＜ .05) after 6 weeks training. Conclusions: The findings suggested that low frequency whole body vibration with static stretching training may improve the lower body muscular strength, agility/active balance and flexibility performances in elderly female.
