本研究比较了两种水上运动方案对老年人平衡能力的影响。将30名健康老年人(60.7+/-4.1岁)随机分为深水跑步训练组(DWRE，n=15)和普通水上运动组(NWE，n=15)。参与者完成了为期12周的每周两次的水上运动干预。运动项目包括陆上热身10分钟，水上行走20分钟，分成NWE和DWRE的30分钟水上活动，陆上休息10分钟，水中娱乐和放松10分钟。DWRE患者的体位摆动距离和串联行走时间显著减少。体位摆动面积在NWE组明显减小。两组患者的简单反应时间均显著减少。本研究结果表明，包括深水跑步在内的水上运动项目在提高老年人动态平衡能力方面明显优于常规水上运动。
This study compared the effects of 2 types of water exercise programs on balance ability in the elderly. Thirty healthy elderly persons (60.7 +/- 4.1 yr) were randomly assigned to a deep-water-running exercise (DWRE, n = 15) group or a normal water exercise (NWE, n = 15) group. The participants completed a twice-weekly water exercise intervention for 12 wk. Exercise sessions comprised a 10-min warm-up on land, 20 min of water-walking exercise, 30 min of water exercise while separated into NWE and DWRE, a 10-min rest on land, and 10 min of recreation and relaxation in water. Postural-sway distance and tandem-walking time were decreased significantly in DWRE. Postural-sway area was decreased significantly in NWE. In both groups, simple reaction times were significantly decreased. The findings of this study show that a water exercise program including deep-water running is much better than normal water exercise for improving dynamic balance ability in the elderly.
