銀髮族老化過程會受到其生活型態、遺傳、疾病等原因交互作用所影響，可以藉由規律的運動習慣來維持良好的健康狀態，減緩老化速度與疾病發生。隨著科技日益進步，老人福祉科技逐漸受到矚目。許多研究者開始以科技角度思考如何應用各種科技，輔助銀髮族從事健康運動與享受獨立生活。為了設計出更好的科技來幫助銀髮族健身，本研究以使用者為中心進行系統設計，著重使用者參與、使用需求與科技接受程度，設計一套以Kinect為基礎之體感式體適能系統，針對銀髮族下肢肌耐力訓練。
為了檢驗系統成效，本研究招募10位年齡介於61到81歲之間之健康銀髮族，進行為期四週的實驗研究。實驗以功能性體適能檢測作為成效測量，並於過程中進行訪談與觀察。研究結果顯示，四週的系統使用不足以提供下肢部位顯著進步，推測是運動強度與介入時間不足，但意外發現在上半身柔軟度部分有顯著進步，顯示出銀髮族上肢部位柔軟度較容易有顯著進步。在三個活動之系統使用成績皆有顯著成長，顯示出整體反應時間變快與運動技巧提升。所有實驗者皆對在體感環境下進行運動表現出極高的接受度，並願意使用系統。其他研究發現在結論與討論有詳細的描述，而未來體適能成效之相關實驗建議以長期實驗為主。

Due to the global trend of rapidly aging society, a significant number of aging related issues such as health and wellness has been raised. The issues of successful aging, consequently, became important topic for both researchers and professionals in the related fields, including an emerging field of gerontechnology.
In order to design a better technology to support elderly in good fitness, this study first developed an embodiment-based functional fitness system for elderly that promotes the functional fitness of the lower limbs muscle strength and endurance with a user-centered design specifically focusing on user engagement, user needs, and the acceptance of the technology by utilizing gesture-based interface and integrating game elements into the system. Next, the study examined the effects of the system on the functional fitness and acceptance of technology by carrying out a 4-week experiment with 10 participants aged from 61 to 81 from both genders.
Results showed that no significant on the lower limbs muscle strength and endurance was found at four weeks. However, the study found that there was significant improvement in upper-body flexibility, showing that the upper part softness of seniors were more likely to have a significant progress. Results also showed that playing scores consistently improved over time, indicating overall reaction time and motor skill improvement. In terms of acceptance of gesture-based technology, participants showed high acceptance in general and willingness to use the system if it became available. Detailed results and issues found are discussed. Longer study time for experiment is suggested for future study.
