본 연구의 목적은 국민건강체조Ⅱ(쉬운체조)가 노인의 스트레스, 대인관계, 고독감에 미치는 영향과 중도탈락을 분석하고 국민건강체조Ⅱ 참여가 노인에게 미치는 정서적 효능의 규명과 중도탈락 문제를 보완할 수 있는 기초자료를 제공하는데 있다. 연구대상자는 충북 Y지역 65세 이상 노인 총 32명을 선정하였고 12주 연구기간 동안 프로그램 지속참여자 21명, 중도탈락자 11명이 발생하였다. 이러한 연구 절차를 통해 얻어진 결론은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 국민건강체조Ⅱ에 참여한 노인들은 운동 전보다 운동 후 가족관계 스트레스, 경제관련 스트레스, 그리고 일상생활 스트레스가 감소하였으며, 대인관계가 향상되었고, 고독감이 감소하여 통계적으로도 유의미한 차이를 보였다(p<.001). 둘째, 중도탈락자 심층면담 결과 프로그램 참여를 포기한 이유는 동작이 빠르고 힘들고, 복잡하고 어려우며, 몸이 아프고 무리함이 느껴져, 그냥 하기 싫어서로 나타났고, 주관적인 요구사항에서도 힘들지 않고, 어렵지 않은 운동을 요구하거나 모르겠다고 답변하였다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of national health gymnastics II(easy gymnastics) on elderly people's stress, interpersonal relationship and loneliness and their dropout, and to provide some information on the emotional effect of elderly people's participation in that gymnastics and how to prevent their dropout. The subjects in this study were 32 people who were selected from the senior citizens in the region of Y, North Choongcheong Province. Out of them, 21 senior citizens continued to participate in the program during the 12-week period of time, and 11 elderly people dropped out. The findings of the study were as follows: First, the senior citizens who participated in the national health gymnastics II program suffered less stress about family relations, finance and daily routine life. They showed improvement in their interpersonal relationship and felt less lonely, and all their changes were statistically significant(p<.001). Second, as a result of having an in-depth interview of the dropouts, it's found that they gave up participating in the program because they felt the movements were too fast, strenuous, complex and difficult to do, and another reason was that the exercise made them feel sick and wasn't appropriate for them. Some replied they just didn't want to exercise. As a result of asking them what they wanted about the program, some asked for exercise that would not be strenuous nor difficult to do, and others answered they had no idea.
