본 연구는 슬링운동이 근골격계질환자들의 근체형 변화에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 D광역시 H산업체 근로자 20명을 대상으로 실험군(10명)과 대조군(10명)으로 나누어, 12주간 실험군에게 슬링운동 적용 전 후의 근체형을 비교분석하였다. 통계프로그램은 SPSS 18.0 을 이용하였고, 12주간 슬링운동 전 후의 집단 간 비교는 대응 t-test를 이용하였다. 12주간 슬링운동을 실시한 결과, 실험군(10명)의 흉부, 요부 및 배부에서 모두 유의한 효과를 나타내었으나 대조군(10명)에서는 유의한 효과가 나타나지 않았다. 따라서 12주간의 슬링운동이 작업관련성 근골격계 질환자들의 근체형 변화에 도움을 주는 의미 있는 운동으로 사료된다.
This research has a purpose of providing base data to prevent musculoskeletal disorders, by analyzing the changes in muscle body due to sling exercises, of the industrial laborers with work-related musculoskeletal disorders. The subjects of this research are 20 volunteers who applied for musculoskeletal treatment exercises in hospitals, from region D industry H. 10 of the 20 subjects were involved in sling exercise program for 12 weeks, and the other 10 subjects were ordered to retain their common practices. We have used the statistics software SPSS ver.18.0 to analyze the data, and have offered a descriptive analysis of the measured variables. To discover the sling exercise effects, we have executed a t-test (paired sample t-test) comparing the before-after relationship of 12-week sling exercise program, and the level of significance were set to a=.05. With these set of research methods and procedures, we have concluded the following. As a result, we have concluded that 12-week sling exercise program does exert influence in changing muscle body of work-related musculoskeletal patients.
