제조업체 근로자를 위한 신체균형 운동프로그램 효과

The aim of this study is to apply a body balance exercise program to manufacturing workers and determine the effects on the overall musculoskeletal index and body balance by body part. The study design is an experimental study using a single-experiment group pre- and post-test design. The subjects of the study were 25 workers from two manufacturing companies located in G Metropolitan City who were doing work that burdened the musculoskeletal system. The intervention was a body balance exercise program conducted twice a week for 60 minutes for 5 weeks. The data collection and intervention period was conducted for approximately two months from April 10, 2023 to June 5, 2023. Data analysis was analyzed using the SPSS WIN 27.0 program by descriptive statistics, χ2 test, Fisher's test, and t-test. As a result of the study, the overall musculoskeletal index of the experimental group that applied the body balance exercise program was significant (t=16.68, p< .01), and H 1 was supported. Body balance by body part included whole body tilt (t=10.49, p< .01), height loss (t=7.26, p< .01), shoulder tilt (t=3.65, p< .01), and turtle neck (t= 8.26, p< .01), pelvic tilt (t=3.82, p< .01), and knee flexion (t=5.25, p< .01) were significant, so H 2 was partially supported. Based on the results of this study, we suggest applying a body balance exercise program to prevent and manage musculoskeletal disorders to workers doing work that burdens the musculoskeletal system. There is a need to continuously verify its effectiveness through repeated studies conducted using similar methods.
