Purpose: This study was conducted to find out how each factor of the health Qigong training fun variable of elderly females has a structural relationship to the resilience variable. Recent studies showing that among the health promotion behaviors of the elderly, participation and activation of sports activities are the most effective as an alternative to active health intervention in order to increase health life, have highlighted the importance of physical activity in old age. Method: In order to analyze the relationship between the health Qigong training fun and resilience of elderly women, a total of 140 questionnaires were conducted as final analysis data. Specifically, first, correlation analysis was conducted to analyze the intensity and direction between the fun variable and the resilience variable. Second, multiple Regression Analysis was conducted to analyze the relationship between the independent variable, fun, and the dependent variable, resilience. All statistical levels were verified at p<.05. Results: As a result of the first study, the five sub-factors of the fun variable were found to be statistically significant in both the resilience sub-factor and the causal relationship. Second, it was analyzed that the sub-factors of the fun variable had an influence at the statistical significance level in the overall relationship with the resilience variable. In the standardization coefficient representing the relative contribution of the independent variable, interpersonal relations, family support, and learning relations were in the order. Conclusion: This study clarifies that the fun factors of Health Qigong performed by elderly women have a significant relationship with self-regulation ability, interpersonal relationship ability, and positivity in the life of old age. These results confirmed that oriental Qigong is a scientifically appropriate program as an elderly health program, and acts as an effective mechanism to maintain and restore the mental and physical health of the elderly women, and further improve them

Purpose: This study analyzed the effect of an application of a short-term functional training for 120 minutes a day, twice a week, for five weeks, and for total 10 times, targeting a male elite Judo Athlete attached to Daegu. Method: A functional fraining program in this study consisted of 8 types of fynamic stabilization, 9 types of cardiopulmonary endurance and muscular endurance, and 12 types of functional training focusing on muscle power considering judo game situation. The intensity of exercise varied according to the training session (HRR 80% - 100%), and total consumed exercise calories per one time were applied to be consumed 800-1000cal with apple watch. Results: After organizing and applying the functional training program optimized to the participant on this study, body composition, basic physical strength, aerobic exercise capacity, anaerobic exercise capacity and isokinetic muscle function of the knee joint and waist were measured. As a result, most of the measured list brought a positive change after applying the functional training. Conclusion: After all the results above, optimized training program plan and application, considering the features of judo itself, of the build or physical strength of the athletes participating the game, are thought to be fully considered to improve the performance of the judo athletes, although intensive training, intensive training frequency and intensive quantity of training for elite judo athletes are significant.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of a Community Based Group Validation Therapy developed to promote behavioral and emotional outcomes in community-dwelling dementia patients in Korea. Method: A multi-center nonequivalent control group pretest-post test design was used to measure the effect of the program on the mental and behavioral symptoms of dementia patients. Twenty-four individuals participated in a Validation Therapy program for 10 weeks, attending 10 sessions of approximately 50 minutes each. The effects were evaluated through pre-and posttest tests that examined the level of depression, emotional status, behavioral problems, and cognitive function. Independent t tests and repeated measures analysis of variance were used to examine the effectiveness of the program. Results: A statistically significant reduction in depression was found among participants. However, no significant changes in emotional state, behavioral problems, and cognitive function were revealed. Conclusion: The validation therapy was found to reduce symptoms of depression in older adults with dementia. It can therefore be considered as a program that could improve quality of life in this population.
