Investigation of Relationships and Differences between Daily StepCount, Aerobic Endurance, and Leg Strength in Older Adults

Öz:

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between leg strength, aerobic endurance and daily step count and the differences between the age groups among the retired and community-dwelling older adults.Material and Methods: Thirty healthy older adults (aged ≥65, range 65-83 yrs) were included in the study. Step counts were measured with a pedometer for seven days. Leg strength was measured with the 30 s chair stand test, aerobic endurance was determined with the six-minute walk test.Results: There were no significant relationships between daily step counts and leg strength (r=0.155, p=0.212) or aerobic endurance (r=0.129, p=0.252), (p>0.05), and neither between age and aerobic endurance (r=0.104, p=0.296), leg strength (r=-0.137, p=0.240), and daily step counts (r=-0.271, p=0.078). Between age groups, there were no significant differences in leg strength, aerobic endurance, daily step count, height and body weight, and body mass index (p>0.05). A significant relationship existed between daily step count and BMI (r=-0.340, p=0.036).Conclusion: The older adults in this study had good leg strength, poor aerobic endurance. Daily step counts were not sufficient in older adults. Leg strength and aerobic endurance were not determining factors for low daily step counts. Checking themselves with a pedometer can help seniors improve their daily activity levels.

Yaşlı Bireylerde Adım Sayısı ile Aerobik Dayanıklılık ve Bacak Kuvveti Arasındaki İlişki ve Farkların İncelenmesi

Öz:

Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı emekli ve toplum içinde yaşayan yaşlı bireylerin adımsayıları ile bacak kuvveti ve aerobik dayanıklılıkları arasındaki ilişki ve yaş sınıflarıarasındaki farkları incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırmaya 30 sağlıklı yaşlı birey katılmıştır (Yaş ≥65, aralık:65-83). Günlük yürümedeki adım sayıları yedi gün boyunca ölçülmüştür. Adımsayartakılmadan önce bacak kuvveti 30 s otur-kalk testi ile, aerobik dayanıklılık 6 dk yürümetesti ile ölçülmüş ve yürüme mesafesi üzerinden değerlendirme yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Adım sayısı ile bacak kuvveti (r=0.155, p=0.212) ve aerobik dayanıklılık(r=0.129, p=0.252) arasında anlamlı ilişki bulunmamıştır (p>0.05). Yaş ile aerobikdayanıklılık (r=0.104, p=0.296), bacak kuvveti (r=-0.137, p=0.240) ve adım sayısı (r=- 0.271, p=0.078), arasında da anlamlı ilişki saptanmamıştır (p>0.05). Beden kütleindeksi (BKİ) ile adım sayısı arasında düşük düzeyde anlamlı ilişki bulunmuştur (r=- 0.340, p=0.036). Yaş grupları arasında; bacak kuvveti, aerobik dayanıklılık, adım sayısı, enerji tüketimi, boy, beden ağırlığı ve beden kütle indeksi (BKİ) için anlamlı farklar çıkmamıştır (p>0.05). Sonuç: Bu araştırmada yer alan yaşlı bireylerin bacak kuvvetinin iyi, aerobik dayanıklılığının zayıf ve günlük adımsayılarının uluslararası geçerli standartlara göre düşük olduğu bulunmuştur. Yaşlıların bir adımsayar yardımı ilegünlük adım sayılarını kontrol etmeleri günlük aktivite düzeylerinin yükselmesine yardımcı olabilir.
