Development of a special program to elongate their healthy life expectancy: introducing elder people who live in isolated islands to an exercise program

本研究的目的是为生活在孤岛上且大多数从事农业的老年人制定一项锻炼计划，以延长他们的健康预期寿命。研究对象是孤岛上的老年人，他们被分为两组；分为运动组和对照组（对照组1）。除此之外，还将居住在城市地区的老年人分为对照组（对照组2）。本研究对这三组进行比较。运动组受试者进行为期三个月的运动计划，通过测试成绩和问卷调查比较运动前后的体力和日常生活习惯。结果，运动组的测试成绩和问卷答题成绩明显高于对照组。因此，我们认为本研究的运动计划对生活在孤立空间站的老年人的健康预期寿命是有效的
