本研究的目的是评估年龄与运动干预后身体测量变化之间的关系，并调查老年人的可训练性。276名60岁以上的社区居民进行了为期3个月的运动干预。身体功能的测量包括单腿站立睁眼和闭眼（OLS-O，OLS-C），功能性前伸测试（FR），定时起身和行走测试（TUG），最大步行速度，柔韧性和肌肉力量。我们评估了年龄与这些物理测量变化之间的关联。干预后，除OLS-C外的所有测量值均显著改善。干预后握力和FR的变化幅度与受试者的年龄呈弱负相关，但其他测量结果显示无相关性。此外，年轻老年人和年长老年人之间在任何测量变化方面没有差异。这些结果表明，我们应用的运动干预可以改善社区老年人的身体素质，无论他们的年龄。老年人和年轻人在提高身体素质的可训练性方面具有可比性。
The purposes of this study were to evaluate the relationship between age and changes in physical measurements after exercise intervention and to investigate the trainability of the older elderly. Two hundred seventy-six community-dwelling people aged 60 years and older practiced exercise intervention for 3 months. The measurements of physical functions were one-legged standing with eyes open and closed (OLS-O, OLS-C), functional reach test (FR), timed up and go test (TUG), maximum walking velocity, flexibility, and muscle strength. We evaluated the associations between age and the changes in these physical measurements. All measurements except for OLS-C significantly improved after intervention. The magnitude of the changes in hand-grip strength and FR after the intervention showed weak negative correlations with the subject's age, but other measurements showed no correlations. In addition, there were no differences between younger elderly persons and older elderly persons with regard to changes in any measurements. These results suggested that the exercise intervention we applied could improve physical fitness in community-dwelling older people, regardless of their age. The older elderly were comparable to the younger elderly in trainability to improve physical fitness.
