AGING AND TRANSFER OF TRAINING--EXERCISE INTERVENTION

拟议研究的主要目标是确定 无键盘训练计划对年长钢琴家的影响。这个 这样的计划的潜在好处是在一项 支持使用非键盘训练的初步研究。 使用无键盘程序的受试者(N=40)将与 那些使用传统键盘方法(K=40)和非钢琴的人 游戏组(N=20)。音乐表演将使用以下指标进行评估 音量和节奏键盘测试。钢琴的身体效果 将考察带键盘和不带键盘训练的训练 在柔韧性、力量、疼痛和僵硬方面，而 心理影响将从生活的角度进行调查 满足感和厌烦倾向。此外， 钢琴培训包括键盘外培训和不带键盘培训 调查过了。所有测试将在测试之前和之后进行 视觉周训练期，并在完成8周后再次训练 计划的一部分。将监测练习和锻炼的时间，并 对所有参数的分数变化进行比较 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.
