背景及目的：佛學院師生日常活動，無論佛學經典研討、課堂研修或靜坐修禪常是採坐姿；雖靜坐禪修對身心靈健康有其整體效益，但是，因能量消耗量低，仍被歸類為靜態生活型態。將自行車乘騎運動推介給靜態生活的社區場域或可成為一個可行的健康促進活動。據此，本研究目的在探討每日靜坐者參與自行車運動前後之經絡能量和體適能狀態。 材料及方法：本研究採立意取樣於南部某佛學院，自2011年12月至2012年1月，進行一個月自行車運動健康促進計畫。研究工具包括基本資料收集、體適能檢測，以及經絡儀量測經絡能量。所得資料以SPSS 18.0 統計套裝軟體，運用描述性統計以及獨立樣本T檢定、配對樣本T檢定、變異數分析等推論統計。 結果：本研究共41位參與自行車騎乘運動，男性15名，女性26名，年齡介於25-45歲之間。結果顯示，騎乘前後經絡能量陰陽比值與左右比值都接近於1，且差異微小；上下經絡比值在騎乘後更趨於1。整體體適能表現情形，騎乘後在上半身柔軟度、下半身柔軟度、敏捷與平衡，以及有氧耐力都顯示有進步。女性下半身肌力在騎乘自行車後有顯著增加，男性下半身肌力在騎乘自行車後有增加 ，但未達顯著性。 結論：本研究以健康促進為出發，推動的同時檢視其影響與成效。佛學院的生活與學習相對靜態，進行西方健康促進的自行車運動前後，經絡能量陰陽平衡，左右比較也是平衡，上下經絡能量比值在騎乘後更趨於平衡。在體適能部分，自行車運動有助於提升敏捷和動作平衡能力，增強心肺耐受能力，以及強化下肢和腰背肌肉力量與柔軟度。 Background and Purpose: This study was aimed to explore the functional fitness and meridian energy for the students with cycling exercise. Materials and Methods: The investigation was conducted from December 2011 to January 2012 in the Southern Institute of Buddhism to carry out a one-month fitness for health promotion program. Research tools include: demographic characteristics, functional fitness testing and direct-reading of meridian energy. The data was analyzed by SPSS18.0 statistical software package, and the major statistical procedures applied were independent T test, paired T test, and ANOVA. Results: In this study, a total of 41 students were involved; 15 males and 26 females, aged between 25-45 years old. This investigation evaluated the effects of pre and post during 1 month cycling exercise. We focused on the meridian energy,The yin-yang ratio,left-right ratio, upper-lower ratio for the subjects were getting more and more balanced. The results of the paired T-test showed improvement in the standing seat standing test, seat extension, 2.44 meter walk and 6-minute walk test after riding. Two-factor ANOVA showed that there was a significant relation between gender and riding time. Conclusions: Through this research, the promotion of health was the starting point; promote biking to examine its impact and effectiveness. The results showed that there is no evidence of meridian energy disturbances. In the physical fitness, cycling exercise helps to enhance agility and balance of movement, enhance cardiopulmonary tolerance and strengthen the lower limb lower back muscle strength and softness.
