이 연구의 목적은 8주간의 플라이오메트릭 훈련이 대학 태권도 시범단의 순발력, 동적 평형성 및 관절 위치감각에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 하였다. 태권도 시범 전공 대학생 20명을 훈련군 10명, 통제군 10명으로 분류한 후 운동군은 주 3회, 60분, 8주간 플라이오메트릭 훈련을 하였다. 측정 변인은 제자 리높이뛰기, 제자리멀리뛰기, 배근력, 동적 평형성 및 관절 위치감각으로 사전 사후 측정하였다. 연구 결과, 제자리높이뛰기와 멀리뛰기 및 배근력에서 유의한 운동의 효과가 있었다(p<.05). 동적 평형성은 후방 바깥 쪽과(p<.01) 후방 안쪽에서(p<.05) 유의한 운동의 효과가 있었다. 관절 위치감각은 왼발 15°와(p<.01) 45°에서는(p<.05) 운동군에서 유의한 효과가 있었다. 이상의 결과 8주간의 플라이오메트릭 훈련은 태권도 시범선수의 순발력과 동적 평형성 및 관절 위치감각에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of multi joint-joint position sense (MJ-JPS) training on joint position sense, balance, and gait ability in stroke patients. A total of 18 stroke patients participated in the study. The subjects were allocated randomly into two groups: an experimental group and a control group. Participants in the experimental group received MJ-JPS training (10 min) and conventional treatment (20 min), but participants in the control group only received conventional treatment (30 min). Both groups received training for five times per week for six weeks. MJ-JPS is a training method used to increase proprioception in the lower extremities; as such, it is used, to position the lower extremities in a given space. MJ-JPS measurement was captured via video using a Image J program to calculate the error distance. Balance ability was measured using Timed Up and Go (TUG) and the Berg Balance Scale (BBS). Gait ability was measured with a 10 m walking test (10MWT) and by climbing four flights of stairs. The Shapiro-Wilk test was used to assess normalization. Within-group differences were analyzed using the paired t-test. Between-group differences were analyzed using the independent t-test. The experimental group showed a significant decrease in error distance (MJ-JPS) compared to the control group (p<.05). Both groups showed a significant difference in their BBS and 10MWT results (p<.05). The experimental group showed a significant decrease in their TUG and climbing results (p<.05), but the control group results for those two tasks were not found to be significant (p>.05). There was significant difference in MJ-JPS and by climbing four flights of stairs on variation of pre and post test in between groups (p<.05), but TUG and BBS and 10MWT was no significantly (p>.05). We suggest that the MJ-JPS training proposed in this study be used as an intervention to help improve the functional activity of the lower extremities in stroke patients.
