|
|
This study examined the effect of Treadmill Backward Walking Training on Knee Joint Muscle Strength, Thigh Circumference, Soft Lean Mass, Flexibility and Body Fat Mass. The 30 subjects were made to practice the training respectively on treadmill for 4 weeks, 3 times per week, for 20 minutes per time, at the rate of 4.2 kmls per hour. Knee Joint Muscle Strength, Thigh Circumference, Soft Lean Mass, Flexibility and Body Fat Mass were measured before and after the practice.
The results of this study are as follows :
1. The muscle strength was significantly different statistically in the extensor muscle and in the flexor muscle on the left and right side respectively before and after in the group of treadmill backward walking training(p < .05).
2. The flexibility was significantly different statistically before and after in the group of treadmill back- ward walking training(p < .05)
3. The reduction of body fat mass was significantly different statistically before and after in the group of treadmill backward walking training(p< .05).
