研究背景：規律運動可以維持或增進功能性體適能，延緩老化甚至逆轉老化所造成的衰弱。現今針對運動介入對高齡者功能性體適能影響之研究，鮮少探討運動對不同衰弱程度高齡者效果之差異。研究目的：探討高齡者衰弱程度對運動介入效果之影響。研究方法：本研究設計為「準實驗設計之不等組前後測設計。受試者為高高屏地區榮民之家住民，平均年齡83.58歲，分為非衰弱組（29人）與衰弱組（33人），均接受十二週運動介入及相同的功能性體適能測驗（FFT）之前後測。資料分析：以描述性統計、獨立樣本單因子共變數分析、相依樣本t考驗進行分析，考驗水準α＜.05。研究結果：非衰弱組及衰弱組高齡者之FFT皆顯著進步，但兩者間FFT後測成績未達顯著差異。結論：衰弱與非衰弱高齡者之功能性體適能皆會因運動介入而達到提升或是維持的效果，尤其對衰弱高齡者，運動更全面改善五項功能性體適能之表現。

This study was based on the Exercise Intervention Effects on Functional Fitness Test of the Non-Frailty and Failty Elderly. The subjects were veterans who live in veterans home. The Non-Frailty group is 29 subjects and Failty group is 33 subjects, with average 83.58 years old. All subjects received FFT pre- and post-test. Groups been treated regular exercise intervention for twelve weeks. Data analysis: descriptive statistics, independent sample ANCOVA analysis, and dependent sample t-test analysis, α＜.05. Results: non-frailty and frailty groups FFT improve significantly, but non-frailty and frailty groups FFT post-test there were no statistical significance. Recommendation: The elderly should focus on the exercise effects towards physical and psychological benefits, especially those weak or frail one.
