초록

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of an exercise program on frontal lobe cognitive function
in seniors. Methods: The participants were 42 seniors using a health center in Seoul (experimental group) and 28 seniors
using a facility for elders in Seoul (control group). The exercise program was carried out for 16 weeks from April to August
2007. The frontal lobe cognitive function, which includes short term memory, attention, immediate memory, delayed memory,
verbal fluency and motor function, was measured by the Digit Span Forward test, Trail Making test, Immediate recall
words test, Delayed recall words, Controlled oral word association test and Finger tapping test. The collected data were
analyzed by Fisher’s exact test, Chi-square, t-test, and ANCOVA using the SAS program. Results: The major findings of
this study were as follows: Attention (p=.009), immediate memory (p=.005), delayed memory (p=.009), and verbal fluency
(p=.004) improved after the exercise program. Conclusion: In this study, the exercise program was effective in improving
frontal lobe cognitive function in elders. So it provides basic information for further nursing education on exercise programs
which will be effective for prevention of early cognitive function decline in normally aging elders.
