國人運動習慣之採討一初步報告

Abstract

A good exercise habit should include warm-up, aerobic exercise, and cool down. The latter can prevent post-exercise venous pooling and reduce the risk of postural hypotension and myocardial ischemia. Besides, the frequency, duration, and mode of exercise also related to the benefits of exercise. This study investigated the exercise habit of 273 randomly selected (145 men, 128 women) ordinary people by questionnaire. The age ranged from 17 to 74 years.The results show that 43.2% of the investigated people have participated in exercise during recent one year. Among them 53.4% were male and 46.6% were female. Twenty-two point eight percent of male and 18.3% of female subjects investigated exercised more them 3 times per week. Seventy-eight percent of them did warm-up before exercise and 11.8% of them did cool-down after exercise. Thirty-four point six percent of the people who had sports injury visited qualified physicians; 31.3% of the injury people visited herb doctor and 21.1% of the injury people visited Chinese chiropractician. Ninety-five percent of the people who exercised regularly felt improvement in both physical capacity and psychological profile. From this preliminary report, we find that 20.5% of the investigated subjects have exercise habit, and only 11.9% among them did cool down after exercise. It means that the concept of a good exercise habit needs more educative work, more promotion and more investigation. It is concluded that lacking of exercise is universal in the investigated population, and the importance of exercise should be emphasized through education.
