The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of SUN-MU Program for months on physical fitness in physically frailed women. The twenty seven elderly women(E: 78.9±6.7yr, C:79.3±8.0yr) were participated in this study. Subjects had no serious orthopedic problems. The subjects were 27 physically frailed elderly women in C sanatorium in seoul. They were divided into two groups; 1) Experimental group was involved in the program(12 weeks, 3days/week, 40min), 2) Control group was gone with other elderly women without exercise for 12 weeks.
The results of the study can be summerized as follows:
The SUN-MU Program significantly increased flexibility, balance, back strength, low extremity strength, but decreased total body water in both groups(P<5).
In conclusion, We could infer from the results of this study that prolonged involvement of SUN-MU program may help to prevent the gradually down regulation of cognitive function on physically frailed elderly women.
