The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of bridge exercises with abdominal breathing on transverse abdominal muscle thickness in healthy adults and to suggest an effective method for bridge exercises. In this study, 20 subjects were divided into two groups: those who performed bridge exercises without abdominal breathing, and those who performed bridge exercises with abdominal breathing. Each group performed bridge exercises three times a week for four weeks. The data collected through the study were encoded and SPSS 12.0 for Windows was used, in which a statistical significance of 0.05 was found. The results of this study showed that the average increase in the transverse abdominal muscle thickness of the bridge with abdominal breathing exposure group was greater than the average increase in the bridge without abdominal breathing exposure group. Therefore, it was confirmed that the bridge exercises with abdominal breathing was effective in increasing transverse abdominal muscle thickness.

본 연구의 목적은 건강한 성인을 대상으로 복식호흡을 동반한 교각운동이 배가로근 두께에 미치는 영향 을 알아보고 교각운동에 대한 효과적인 방법을 제시하는데, 그 목적이 있다. 연구대상자는 20명으로 복식호흡이 없는 교각운동과 복식호흡이 있는 교각운동으로 나눠 4주간 주 3회 운동을 진행하였다. 연구를 통해 수집된 자 료는 부호화한 후 SPSS for 12.0 Win-program을 사용하였으며 통계학적 유의수준은 0.05로 하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 운동 전후 4주간 복식호흡 유무에 따라 교각운동을 시행한 결과 복식호흡을 동반한 교각운동 집단의 배 가로근 두께 평균 증가량이 자율적 흉식호흡 군의 평균 증가량보다 크게 나타났다. 따라서 복식호흡을 동반한 교각운동이 배가로근 두께 증가에 효과적이라는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
