오늘날 우리나라는 생활수준의 향상과 의학기술 의 발달로 국민의 건강에 대한 관심이 높아지고 출산력은 저하되는 반면, 평균수명이 연장되어 노 인인구가 급격하게 증가됨으로써 고령화 사회로 접어들고 있다. 우리나라의 65세 이상 노인인구는 약 337만 명으로 전체인구의 7.1%에 이르고 최근 에도 노인인구의 증가가 더욱 가속화되어 2010년도 9.9%, 2020년도 13.2%, 2030년도 19.3%로 고령사회 (aged society)가 될 것으로 전망하고 있으며 1970 년에 63.2세였던 평균수명이 1990년에 71.6%세, 2000년에는74.9세, 2020년에는 78.1세로 증가할 것 으로 예측하고 있다(통계청, 2006). 65세 이상의 고 령화 인구의 증가로 노년기가 길어짐에 따라 노인 의 신체적, 정서적인 기능의 감퇴와 사회적, 경제적 문제가 날로 심각해지고 있다. 이중 가장 보편적인 문제는 신체적 기능의 약화로써 노인의 50%정도가 만성질환을 갖고 있으며 79%의 노인이 일상생활에 불편을 겪고 있어 결국 노인의 삶의 질을 위협하 고 있다(원유병, 1997).
The purpose of this study is to provide a positive data to examine the relations among exercise, aging and quality of life among in elderly. It analyzed the difference in quality of life, daily living fitness between regularly exercise group and non-exercise group. They took part in the survey of quality of life and were tested in the physical measurement tests. For the data analysis the Windows SPSS 10.0 was used and one way ANOVA were processed and Scheffe for the after-verification. The results are the following through the progresses: 1. Cardio-respiratory endurance was discovered more in dance sport and abdominal respiration participants than non-exercise group. There was also statistical significance(p<.01). 2. Muscle endurance was found more in dance sport, abdominal respiration, non-exercise group in a row. There was statistical significance between dance sport and non-exercise group. 3. Flexibility ranked higher in abdominal respiration than dance sport and non-exercise group. There was statistical significance(p<.05). 4. There was no significance between exercise group and non-exercise group in balance and flexibility. Comparing exercise group with non-exercise group in quality of life, dance sport and abdominal respiration class participants were higher than the non-exercise in physical factors(p<.001). Abdominal respiration class participants were higher than non-exercise group in emotional factors(p<.05). Dance sport participants were higher than non-exercise group in social factors(p<.05). To sum up, a man's aging and physical fitness level were closely related with his age, sex, food, lifestyle and exercise. It was found that regular exercise delayed aging, helped to improve physical fitness and enhance potential quality of life.
