了解不同年龄段老年人体力活动水平和功能体适能的差异（60-69岁）和老年人采用国际体力活动问卷对1288名参与者的体力活动水平进行了评估，其中594名为男性（平均值±标准差：身高175.62 ± 9.78 cm;体重82.26 ± 31.33 kg）和694名女性（平均值±标准差：身高165.17 ± 23.12 cm;体重69.74 ± 12.44 kg）。还使用高级体能测试来评估功能性体能：背部抓挠、椅子坐和伸展、8英尺起身、椅子站立30秒、手臂卷曲和2分钟台阶测试。老年人（70-80岁）与青年人（60-69岁）在各项身体素质测试中差异有统计学意义（P < 0.05）。女性也有类似的结果，除了在椅子坐姿和前伸以及2分钟台阶测试中没有发现显着差异。从国际体力活动问卷估算的能量消耗来看，中等体力活动占主导地位。此外，随着年龄的增长，60岁以上的男性和女性，总体力活动中的任务代谢当量值显著降低（P < 0.05）。这项研究发现，身体活动水平和功能健康的下降对男性和女性来说是平等的，这是由于衰老过程。年轻人和老年人之间的这些差异是由于上肢和下肢肌肉力量的减少以及体脂百分比、柔韧性、敏捷性和耐力的变化。
To determine differences in physical activity level and functional fitness between young elderly (60–69 years) and old elderly (70–80 years) people with the hypothesis that an age-related decline would be found. A total of 1288 participants’ level of physical activity was evaluated using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire: 594 were male (mean ± standard deviation: body height 175.62 ± 9.78 cm; body weight 82.26 ± 31.33 kg) and 694 female (mean ± standard deviation: body height 165.17 ± 23.12 cm; body weight 69.74 ± 12.44 kg). Functional fitness was also estimated using the Senior Fitness Test: back scratch, chair sit and reach, 8-foot up and go, chair stand up for 30 seconds, arm curl, and 2-minute step test. Significant differences (P < 0.05) were found for all Senior Fitness tests between young elderly (60–69 years) and old elderly (70–80) men. Similar results were found for the women, except no significant differences were found for the chair sit and reach and the 2-minute step test. From the viewpoint of energy consumption estimated by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, moderate physical activity is dominant. In addition, with aging, among men and women older than 60 years, the value of the Metabolic Equivalent of Task in total physical activity significantly reduces (P < 0.05). This study found that the reduction in physical activity level and functional fitness was equal for both men and women and was due to the aging process. These differences between young and old elderly people were due to the reduction of muscle strength in both upper and lower limbs and changes in body-fat percentage, flexibility, agility, and endurance.
