A Comparative Study Of Functional Fitness For The Elderly In Urban And Rural Areas

Objective:This study to conduct functional fitness tests for elderly people in urban and rural areas,analyze the differences between urban and rural areas with functional fitness,and explore the impact of urban and rural factors on functional fitness of elderly people.Formulate exercise prescriptions for the elderly,guide the elderly to provide functional physical fitness training,and provide scientific basis for relevant administrative departments to formulate urban and rural elderly fitness protection policies and measures.Methods:1137 sample data(male 398,female 739)were obtained using stratified stratified sampling method.Independent sample T test was used for significant test and urban-rural difference test in different age groups.Regression analysis was used for functional analysis of elderly patients.Analysis of physical fitness factors.Results:1)The mean BMI of urban and rural elderly is between 21.7 and 26.3 kg/m2.There is no significant difference between urban and rural areas at different ages.The obesity rate is between 2%and 33%.The obese people in urban areas between the ages of 60 and 69 are much lower than those in rural areas.The main manifestations are in the elderly women population.There is no significant difference between urban and rural areas in other age groups.2)There was no significant difference between the urban and rural areas in the 30-second arm lift test scores of male and female seniors in the five age groups.The average scores of urban male seniors with 30-second sitting time in the 60-64 and 70-74 age groups were significantly better than those in rural areas.There was no significant difference between urban and rural areas in the rest of the age groups.The average score of urban women aged 30-seat standing in the 75-79 age group was better than that in the countryside,and there was no significant difference between the urban and rural areas in the rest of the age group.3)The mean scores of the male back-to-back test for male aged persons aged 65 and above were significantly higher than those for rural residents.There was no significant difference between the urban and rural areas in the rest of the age groups.There is a significant difference between the average urban and rural areas in the scores of female senior citizens in the five age groups.The mean score of forward seated flexion test for male senior citizens in all age groups was significantly higher than that for urban seniors.The mean scores for forward flexion test of rural female seniors were significantly better in the 60-64 age group and 80 and above age group.There is no significant difference between urban and rural areas in the rest of the age groups.4)The mean scores of male seniors in 2 minutes are not significantly different between urban and rural areas except 80 years old and above.There is no significant difference between urban and rural areas in other age groups.There is no significant difference between the urban and rural areas in the average scores of women aged 2 minutes in all age groups.5)The mean score of the 2.4-meter detour test of urban male senior citizens is between 60 and 79 years old better than that of rural male senior citizens.The mean value of the 2.4-meter detour test of urban female senior citizens was significantly better than that of rural residents between 70 and 79.There was no significant difference between urban and rural areas in the other age groups.6)Age,gender,and urban-rural variables have significant effects on physical fitness indicators.They explain the percentage changes in upper body strength,lower limb strength,upper limb flexibility,lower limb flexibility,aerobic endurance,and agility and dynamic balance quality.26.4%,24.8%.25.5%,16.6%,17.8%,32.4%.7)The difference between urban and rural areas with different functional fitness indicators shows different characteristics with age.The differences between urban and rural areas in the lower limbs of malc seniors before 72 years of age showed a decreasing and then increasing characteristic.The difference between urban and rural aerobic endurance diathesis was mostly negative before the age of 70.the change was small,and the change was large after age 70.The difference between the urban and rural areas in the upper limbs of female seniors shows a certain stage characteristic.The difference between urban and rural areas in aerobic endurance capacity is negative before 75 years old and it shows an increasing trend.The urban and rural differences between agile and dynamic balance have an increasing trend.Features.The remaining gender-specific indicators of physical fitness in urban and rural areas did not show significant changes with age.Conclusion:1)Age,gender,and urban and rural areas are all key factors affecting the functional fitness level of the elderly.The change in age plays a major role,while the urban and rural regional factors have no significant effect on the strength of upper limbs.It has a significant impact,among which there is a positive effect on the 30-second seat,back-and-back test and 2.4-meter detour,that is.the higher the level of economic development,the better the lower limb strength,upper limb flexibility and agility and balance quality of the elderly;The urban and rural factors have a negative effect on the forward flexion of the seat and the 2 minute treading.That is to say.the elderly with low economic development level have relatively good flexibility and aerobic endurance.2)Different functional fitness indicators show different regional characteristics.Urban seniors'lower limb strength,upper limb flexibility,agility and dynamic balance are better than those of rural seniors in most age groups.In most age groups,rural seniors have lower limb flexibility and males aged 80 and above.The aerobic endurance of the elderly is better than that of the urban elderly.3)The differences between urban and rural areas with different functional fitness indicators show different characteristics with age.
