Effects of participation in outdoor exercise equipment programe on muscle tension and basic physical fitness of super aged-women

The purpose of this study was to find out how participation in outdoor exercise equipment programs for 12 weeks affects muscle tension and basic physical strength of female super-aged people. The subjects of this study were 20 super-aged women aged 75 or older, who analyzed muscle tension and basic physical strength before and after participating in the outdoor exercise equipment program for 12 weeks. As for the detailed variables of muscle tension, muscle tension and muscle stiffness were compared and analyzed as upper limb muscle strength, lower limb muscle strength, agility (dynamic) balance, upper limb flexibility, lower limb flexibility, and cardiopulmonary endurance. The main results obtained in this study are as follows: First, as a result of comparing before and after the outdoor exercise program, the muscle tension of the right upper trapezius muscle showed a statistically significant difference(p.05). Second, as a result of comparing before and after outdoor exercise programs, there were statistically significant differences in agility (dynamic) balance, upper extremity flexibility, and lower extremity flexibility(p.05). According to the results, it was confirmed that the 12-week outdoor exercise program partially had a positive effect on the muscle tension and basic physical strength of the elderly in women.
