| Research Abstract |
We have made aged people's health-promotion practice with life-style related disease rising indoor swimming pool for 3 years. The purpose of this activity was to make sure the aged people, who had retired from their industrial work in the society, the healthy life of high quality. The water exercise class was held twice or thrice a month all year round, the number of the participants of one class was about 25 to 40 and the exercise was made for 1 hour per 1 class. The mild water exercises for the aged participants with 2 to 4 attendants of the investigators of this project were conducted by the professional instructor. The youngest participant was 65 years old and the oldest one was 92 years old who continued to attend the class for 1 year. Almost all of them stated their impression of the first experience for water exercise class as " very joyful experience", "the therapeutic effect of backache", the decrease for the pain of the genu of internal capsule or the stiff shoulder" and "the increase of good rhythm in daily life".
On the other hand, the measurements were made thrice a year about "good walker's index" and once a year about the bone density, the "QOL index" and "Self efficacy index". The good walker's index, which is regarded as the very useful index for the protection of falling down for the aged, significantly increased three years after the beginning of the practice. The bone density was not increased significantly but not decreased significantly even for ladies within these years. The QOL index and the self efficacy index were both kept in the same level as that in the beginning.
In conclusion, the continuous activity using water exercise is very useful for the maintenance of physical and mental health on aged people.
