시각장애인의 유산소성 운동프로그램 참여가 호흡순환계에 미치는 영향

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of aerobic exercise program on cardiorespiratory function of individuals with visual disability. After assigning 16 visually-disabled but educable individuals to either experimental or control groups, aerobic exercise program treatment(60 min/day, 3 days/week) had been administered for 12 weeks with gradually increasing the intensity of HRmax.The results of this study showed significant increases of O2max(p<.05), HRmax(p<.05), VEmax(p<.05), AT-O2max(p<.05), and ATduration(p<.05).In conclusion, O2max, HRmax, VEmax, AT-O2max and ATduration of individuals with visual disability were developed effectively through aerobic exercise programs.
