Development of a new exercise method to help prevent the elderly from stumbling and becoming bedridden

本研究的目的是开发一种新的锻炼方法，以改善神经肌肉系统和肌肉力量，帮助防止老年人跌倒和卧床不起。我们从神经肌肉和心血管系统的角度研究了皮肤降温的机制，并开发了一种简单的皮肤降温套装。此外，我们还调查了我们的皮肤冷却服对老年人日常生活中步行能力的影响。我们建议，我们的新的锻炼方法，利用皮肤降温，对老年人是有效的。

The purpose of this study was to develop a new exercise method for the improvement of the neuromuscular system and muscle strength to help prevent elderly people from stumbling and becoming bedridden. We investigated the mechanism of skin cooling from the perspective of the neuromusclar and cardiovascular systems and developed a simple skin cooling suit. Further, we investigated the effect of our skin cooling suit on walking ability of elderly people during daily life. We suggest that our new exercise method, making use of skin cooling, is valid for elderly people.
