AGING AND TRANSFER OF TRAINING--EXERCISE INTERVENTION

拟议研究的主要目标是确定 非键盘训练计划对老年钢琴家的影响。 的 这样一个计划的潜在好处进行了调查， 初步研究，支持使用非键盘训练。 将使用非键盘程序的受试者（N=40）与 那些使用传统键盘方法（K=40）和非钢琴 游戏组（N=20）。 音乐表演将使用 音量和克里思键盘测试。 钢琴对身体的影响 将检查有和没有键盘外训练的训练 在柔韧性、力量、疼痛和僵硬方面， 心理影响将在生活方面进行调查 满足和无聊倾向。 此外， 钢琴训练与非键盘训练将是 研究了 所有测试将在 一个视周训练期，完成后8周再次训练 的计划。 练习和锻炼时间将受到监控， 与使用以下方法研究的所有参数的评分变化相比 相关和多变量方差分析技术。

The primary objective of the proposed research is to determine the affects of an off-keyboard training program on older pianists. The potential benefits of such a program were investigated in a preliminary study which supported the use of off-keyboard training. Subjects using the off-keyboard program (N=40) will be compared to those using traditional key-board methods (K=40) an a non-piano playing group (N=20). Musical performance will be evaluated using volume and tempo keyboard tests. Physical affects of piano training with and without off-keyboard training will be examined in terms of flexibility, strength, pain and stiffness while psychological effects will be investigated in terms of life satisfaction and boredom proneness. In addition, the effects of piano training with and without off-keyboard training will be investigated. All test will be conducted prior to and following an sight week training period and again 8-weeks after completion of the program. Practice and exercise times will be monitored and compared to score changes for all parameters investigated using correlational and multivariate analysis of variance technique.
