| Summary: | 碩士 === 中國文化大學 === 體育學系運動教練碩博士班 === 104 === Purpose : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a 6-week Ukemi training of Aikido on static and dynamic balance performance. Method : Subjects were 30 collegiate students between 18 and 22 who were randomly divided into fitness calisthenics group ( FCG ) ( n=15 )and ukemi group ( UG )( n=15 ). UG followed the ukemi training 40 minutes per session , 3 times a week for 6 weeks ; meanwhile , FCG followed the fitness calisthenics training 40 minutes per session , 3 times a week for 6 weeks. Pre and post-tests included Standing stork test for static balance and Y-balance test for dynamic balance . Data were analyzed by using mixed design two -ways ANOVA. Alpha level for all tests was set at 0.05. Result: After the six-week training , the Standing stork test of UG in the right leg standing showed significant improvement ( P <.05 ), while no significant difference between groups was found in left leg standing. In the Y-balance test, the average scores of UG were higher than FCG ( P < .05 ), no significant difference was found in left leg standing right leg forward, right leg standing left leg forward , right leg standing left leg backward of Y-balance test .Conclusion: after six-week ukemi training , the group revealed partial improvements in both static and dynamic balance performance – Thus it is recommended that the ukemi training can be used as an unconventional alternative to improve balance ability and prevent falling in fitness or sport training.
