| With Chinas rapid economic development, social progress, and peoples living standard continuing to improve, the population aging degree is also getting higher and higher. Physical and moral questions of the middle-aged person and old person arouse societys concerns. The middle-aged and old people have their own physical exercises, but some items such as running, walking, boxing, etc. lack interest for the elderly. Moreover the exercise intensity, which is too low, could not meet some middle-aged and old peoples bodily need, Simultaneously many physical training project already could not satisfy the middle-aged person and old person's demands to be fashionable, lofty, and so on. Thus it's so important for the middle-aged person and old persons to choose an item which combines fashion, security, efficiency, intensity and entertainment. The Xuhui District of Shanghai, as the most developed area of both economy and culture, under the National Fit-keeping Program policy, has the good economic basis and the hardware condition. The general residents participate in the tennis movement surging upward warmly. Tennis movement in the Xuhui District develops rapidly, and tennis hardware facilities like courts and gyms hold the first place in Shanghai. Meanwhile the tennis tournaments held in Xuhui District arouse citizens'concerns. The middle-aged person and old person's tennis movement in communities of Xuhui District represents the significanceThe tennis develops rapidly in our country as well as in the world. Besides the rich culture and fashion elements are welcomed, the main reason is its fitness effect. Study found that people who often take part in tennis have a better condition on reducing stress, avoiding the emergence of sub-health status, and getting mental and physical pleasure. The research completed by many scholars finds that tennis is an exercise combining gymnastics, entertainment, aesthetic integrated performance and other characteristics. By participating in a reasonable tennis exercise, it will improve the exercisers'physical aspects such as strength, speed, endurance, and it has a very important role on improving body function.Researchers in full recognition of the sports project, and proposed that the fitness effect should be added further data and materials. There is a lack of data and materials according to the related document materials. Especially for the middle-aged person and old person, this is the important question which should urgently be solved. It is also the key point of this article. In this paper by the physiological methods to test the middle-aged and old person on body shape, body function, fitness, body composition well-being in communities of Xuhui District, in Shanghai, after several statistical analysis gets the following conclusions:(1)Before and after experiment, elderly male and female body shape indexes have changed: In the women's group, forearm circumference, waist, hip, thigh, upper arm skin fold thickness, shoulder and foot angle skinfold, abdominal skinfold thickness have changed remarkably, and the waist, upper arm department skin pleat thickness, abdomen skin pleat thickness have significantly changed, chest circumference and calf circumference before and after the experiment have no significant changes. In the men's group, forearm circumference, waist, hip, upper arm skin fold thickness, shoulder and foot angle skinfold, abdominal skinfold thickness have changed remarkably, and the waist, abdomen skin pleat thickness have changed remarkably, chest circumference, thigh circumference and calf circumference before and after the experiment have no remarkable changes.(2) Before and after experiment, elderly men and women in each group had remarkable changes in body function. The elderly men and women in each group, index of heart rate, blood pressure, and vital capacity were significant changes remarkably. In middle-aged women's and men's groups, heart rate before and after experiment has remarkably changed. In middle-aged and old women's and men's groups, vital capacity has remarkably changed.(3) Before and after experiment, elderly men and women in each group had remarkable changes in the physical quality. In middle-aged women's group, grip strength, back strength, sit and reach, one leg standing eyes closed, reaction time, step index have changed remarkably before and after experiment, and grip strength, back strength, step index cause significant difference. In old women's group, grip strength, back strength and index remarkably changed before and after experiment. But there was no significant difference in sit and reach, one leg standing eyes closed reaction time before and after experiment. In middle-aged men's group, grip strength, back strength, one leg standing eyes closed, reaction time, step index have remarkably changed before and after the experiment, and grip strength, back strength, step index cause significant difference. In old men's group, grip strength, back strength, step index have remarkably changed before and after the experiment, But there was no significant difference in sit and reach, one leg standing eyes closed reaction time before and after experiment.(4)Before and after experiment, in each middle-aged and old men's and women's group, there are remarkable changes in body composition. In each group, body weight, BMI, FAT, and the protein changed remarkably. In the middle-aged women's group, there is significant change in body weight. In the middle-aged and old women's group, there are significant changes in WHR before and after experiment, but no significant changes in inorganic nature. In old men's group, there are significant changes in WHR before and after experiment, but no significant changes in inorganic nature.Based on the objective evaluation of the fitness effect of tennis, offering a more scientific and more rational theoretical basis for tennis fitness program, and to explore its further unique health effects, this paper plays a better role to improve middle-aged and old people's health level. |
