摘要

我國已進入高齡化社會，老年人口比例也逐年升高，根據內政部資料統計，至104 年底老年人口達12.51%；老化會使高齡者逐漸喪失平衡能力，導致跌倒的機率大幅上升，將會造成龐大的醫療支出；因此，預防老人跌倒是相當重要的課題。美國運動醫學會已證實，從事規律運動訓練後，不僅能改善心理健康、睡眠品質及降低跌倒風險，並提升老年人身體功能和生活品質。綜合本文所蒐集的研究發現，空手道運動能顯著提升動、靜態平衡能力，並增加老年人的幸福感，提升生活品質。透過空手道運動多元化的教學，包括上肢、下肢及綜合動作，配合動態(前、後、左、右移動)與靜態(站立、坐姿)，使老年人達到運動效果與平衡訓練，進而降低跌倒的發生；不僅能增強下肢肌力、降低心血管疾病，更能提升全人健康，促進規律運動習慣，增加老年生活的福祉。
