초록

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a 12-week functional training program on the physical function of sedentary college students, with a focus on sedentary behaviors. Twenty college students primarily engaged in sedentary behaviors were randomly assigned to either a control group (CON, n=8) or an exercise group (EXE, n=12). The exercise group participated in a 90-minute functional training session once a week for 12 weeks, aimed at improving joint mobility and overall body movement. The effects were evaluated using the overhead squat test to measure body angles. A 2x2 repeated measures ANOVA and independent t-tests were conducted to assess significant interaction effects. The results of this study are as follows: 1) After 12 weeks of functional training, significant improvements were observed in the right knee angle and ankle angle (p<.05). 2) Shoulder angle also showed significant improvement after 12 weeks of functional training (p<.05). 3) The pelvic tilt, as measured by vertical contrast, showed significant improvement following 12 weeks of functional training (p<.05). In conclusion, a 12-week functional training program produced positive changes in physical function among sedentary college students, particularly in the knee, ankle, shoulder, and pelvic tilt. This program may serve as an effective intervention to prevent musculoskeletal disorders and improve overall physical function in individuals primarily engaged in sedentary behaviors.
