Abstract

The amis of the study were to examine the current statues of physical fitness of daily living and to develop criteria index of physical fitness for the elderly woman living in the rural community. Two hundred sixty one elderly women, age 60 to 81 were randomly selected. Recently, it has been many of studies about daily living physical fitness, but it has not been sufficient for Korean elderly person Moreover, exiting test methods for fitness assessment are very difficult to be performed for elderly population Therefore, physical fitness of daily living consisted of the 12 performance test items, Which were muscle strength(grip strength, back strength), muscle endurance(arm curl, standing up and sitting on a chair), flexibility(sit and reach, back scratch), agility(timed up and go, standing up form a supine position), cardiovascular endurance(2min walking), balance(one leg balance with eye closed, one leg balance with eye opened), and reaction time. The result showed that significantly decreased on muscle strength, muscle endurance, flexibility, agility balance, but reaction time and cordirespetory dicln't significant. According to the normal distribution, the physical fitness of daily living criteria index were dived five grades(very poor 10%, poor 22%, average 36%, good, 22%, very good 10%).
