필라테스 운동과 서킷 운동이 정상성인의 폐기능과 배곧은근의 근두께에 미치는 영향

The effect of the pilates exercise and circuit exercise on the muscle thickness of the rectus abdominis and pulmonary function in normal adults.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of pilates exercise and circuit exercise on abdominal muscles and pulmonary function of normal adults. Method : This study was performed on 20 subjects. 20 subjects were divided into two groups; pilates exercise(n=10), circuit exercise(n=10). Both of the group performed the exercise 3 times a week for 5 weeks. The data was analyzed by the paired Will-coxon test for comparing before and after changes of factors in each group and the Mann-Whitney U test for comparing the between groups. Results : The result are as follows. On the pilates exercise group, there was significant difference on the amount of FEV 1 , VC but there was no significant difference on FVC, FEV 1 /FVC, PEF by comparing pulmonary function before and after. Also, there was no significant difference on thickness rectus abdominis. By comparing abdominal muscles thickness before and after. On the circuit exercise group, there was significant difference on the FVC, FEV 1 , PEF, VC but there was no significant difference on FEV 1 /FVC by comparing the pulmonary function before and after. And, there was no significant difference on thickness rectus adominis. By comparing abdominal muscles thickness before and after. By comparing between the two group, there was no significant difference on pulmonary function and thickness rectus abdominis. Conclusion : As a result of this study, we thought that pilates exercise and circuit exercise was more effective for increasing pulmonary function than muscle thickness of the abdominis.
