The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of the muscle strength improvement exercise intervention upon ADL and subjective well-being scale in elderly local resident. Thirteen men and women volunteered as subjects for this study, whose average age being 80.7±7.2 years. Four kinds of exercise equipment were used for the experiment. As a routine program, the following procedure took place: dosage of 5 to 10kg, repetition of 10 to 40 times, frequency of 1 to 2 times/week. Then questionnaire surveys on subjective well-being and Activity of Daily Living (ADL) were administered for three times according to the intervention process, at the time before they participated in the training, 3 months later and 6 months later. The Wilcoxon signed rank test revealed that subjective well-being had increased significantly between baseline and 3 months later (p<0.05). However, it had not increased significantly between baseline and 6 months later. And ADL had not changed during the period of this study. These results suggest that the muscle strength improvement exercise could be one of the reasons that can lead their ADL to be maintained and subjective well-being to be uplifted for these elderly people in local resident.
