Abstract
本研究主要目的在探討不同身體活動量老年人之心肺適能和生活品質之差異，及身體活動量、心肺適能與生活品質之間的關係。本研究對象為年齡在65～92歲之老年人，以六分鐘走路測驗評估其心肺適能，採用PASE量表評估身體活動量及SF-36量表評估生活品質。
本研究共獲得100份老年人有效資料（平均年齡為72.91±6.17歲），經單因子變異數分析及皮爾森相關分析，結果發現：
一、不同身體活動量組間之心肺適能有顯著差異，且身體活動量與心肺適能間呈現顯著正相關（p＜.05）。
二、不同身體活動量組間之生活品質有顯著差異。而身體活動量與生活品質間有正相關存在（r介於.12至.29之間），且在身體功能、活動限制及情緒限制等三個構面達顯著水準（p＜.05）。
三、不同心肺適能組間之生活品質有顯著差異。而心肺適能與生活品質間有正相關存在（r介於.02至.41之間），且在身體功能、活動限制、社會功能及心理健康等四個構面達顯著水準（p＜.05）。
高身體活動量及高心肺適能之老年人有較佳的生活品質，因此建議老年人增加身體活動量，增進心肺適能，應是促進身心健康和提升生活品質的有效方法。
The purposes of the present study were to investigate the difference of cardiovascular fitness and quality of life among the elderly people who had various physical activity levels, and the relationship of quality of life, physical activity, and cardiovascular fitness. The subjects of this study were elderly people ranging from 65 to 92 in age. Cardiovascular fitness was measured by means of a 6-minute walk test. The physical activity level was evaluated using PASE and while the quality of life was evaluated by in terms of SF-36. Valid data of 100 elderly people (average age＝72.91±6.17) were analysed with one-way ANOVA and Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient. The results of this study were followed: 1.There was significant difference in cardiovascular fitness among groups with different physical activity level. Physical activity level was significant positively correlated with cardiovascular fitness (p＜.05). 2. There was significant difference in the quality of life among groups with different physical activity level. Positive correlations existed between physical activity level and quality of life (r＝.12-.29). The three significant aspects among the eight correlations were physical functioning, role functioning- physical, and role functioning-emotional (p＜.05). 3. There was significant difference in the quality of life among groups with different cardiovascular fitness. Positive correlations existed between elderly people’s cardiovascular fitness and quality of life (r＝.02-.41). The four significant aspects among the eight correlations were physical functioning, role functioning- physical, social functioning, and mental health (p＜.05). Elderly people who had higher physical activity level and higher cardiovascular fitness also had better quality of life. Therefore, encouraging elderly people to increase physical activity level and cardiovascular fitness would effectively promote physical-mental health and quality of life.
