本研究调查了老年女性白天体育活动模式与身体健康的关系。研究对象包括住在养老院的19名老年妇女。测量从上午10点到下午16点的躺着、坐着、站着和走路的时间，以及白天走的步数，以确定身体活动的模式。体能测量包括肌肉力量、平衡、灵活性和身体表现。老年女性白天步行的时间占18.3%，站立占7.31%，坐占56.9%，躺占17.4%。我们的结果表明，行走或站立姿势的时间与平衡和身体表现(如行走速度)显著相关，而坐着姿势的时间与肌肉力量、平衡和身体表现呈负相关。这项研究的结果表明，老年人花在负重活动和久坐行为上的时间与身体健康有关。(C)2013爱思唯尔爱尔兰有限公司。保留所有权利。
This study investigated the relationship between daytime physical activity patterns and physical fitness in elderly women. The subjects comprised 19 elderly women who resided in a nursing home. Time spent lying, sitting, standing and walking and the number of steps taken during the daytime from 10:00 to 16:00 were measured to determine physical activity patterns. Physical fitness measures included muscle strength, balance, flexibility and physical performance. The elderly women spent 18.3% of their daytime walking, 7.31% in a standing position, 56.9% sitting and 17.4% lying down. Our results showed that the time spent in walking or standing positions was significantly associated with balance and physical performance such as walking speed, while the time spent in a sitting position was inversely associated with muscle strength, balance and physical performance. The results of this study suggest that the time the elderly spend on weight-bearing activities and in sedentary behavior are associated with physical fitness. (c) 2013 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
