本研究旨在探討體適能年齡與跌倒風險之相關。本研究受試者以居住於桃園地區60-79歲女性無慢性病且無運動習慣共24位。本研究的測驗項目包含有身高、體重、血壓、腰圍、握力、垂直跳、坐姿體前屈、功能性前伸、左右橫移和兩分鐘踏步測驗，再將體適能測驗結果代入體適能年齡公式。以皮爾遜積差相關探討跌倒風險與體適能年齡、體適能各項目之相關。結果得知，跌倒風險和體適能年齡之相關係數為.50(p<.05)，同時，跌倒風險和功能性前伸(r=-.41, p<.05)、垂直跳(r=-.49, p<.05)和左右橫移(r=-.43, p<.05)也達顯著相關。綜合上述可知，體適能年齡愈高者，跌倒風險也愈高，且功能性前伸、垂直跳和左右橫移這三項目的表現較差者其跌倒風險也較高。

The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation between physical fitness age and fall risk score. The subjects were 24 females aged 60 to 79 years, all subjects were underwent blood tests, rest electrocardiogram, fall risk questionnaire and physical fitness test. The physical fitness test items included height, body weight, blood press, waist circumferences, sit and reach, functional reach, grip strength, vertical jump, stepping side-to-side, and 2-min step. Then we used the physical fitness test score to substitute the physical fitness age formula in order to get the physical fitness age. The Pearson's product-moment correlation was used to analyze the correlation between the fall risk score and physical fitness age, physical fitness items. The fall risk score was correlated with physical fitness age (r=.50, p<.05), functional reach (r=-.41, p<.05), vertical jump (r=-.49, p<.05), stepping side-to-side (r=-.43, p<.05). The results indicates that the people of lower physical fitness age have higher fall risk, and those who have lower functional reach, vertical jump, stepping side-to-side performance have higher fall risk.
