The study subjects were 10 female players and 10 male players. Stress-related hormone and immune response measured at rest, before and after game by saliva collected from them. Stress perception level used visual analogue scale (VAS). The results of this study were as follows: Saliva cortisol according to gender differences showed significant interaction effects of between group×time (p=.039). Also, school levels didn’t show significant interaction effects while in the main effects verification was significant differences among group (p=.044) and time (p=.000). Saliva dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) according to gender differences showed significant differences in time (p=.015) which is, male players were significantly increases between measurement time but female players were significantly decreases at after game. School levels didn’t show significant interaction effects while in the main effects verification was significant differences among group (p=.007) and time (p=.016). Saliva IgA according to gender differences showed no significant interaction effects, in the main effects verification was significant differences between time (p=.040). In the school levels was no significant changes in the interaction effects and main effects. Stress perception according to gender differences was no significant interaction effects, but in the main effects verification was significant differences among group (p=.040) and time (p=.000). Stress perception according to school levels showed significant the interaction effects of between group×Time (p=.005). In the correlation between cortisol, DHEA and VAS, there showed significant difference. Therefore, the present study will hopefully provide basic data for the development of programs to minimize the stress of table tennis players. And further studies are needed to understand its topic.","PeriodicalId":491973,"journal":{"name":"Hanguk singyeong geunyuk jaehwal hakoeji","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135713144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It used Health care benefit statistics data from 2016 to 2020. The results of chi-squared test and logistic regression on a total of 5,687 extracted cases are as follows. First, as a general characteristic of pediatric patients living in Jeollanam-province, there were more males than females and found more improved results among them. In addition, when it comes to administrative district, the frequency of county was high. Respiratory system diseases were high as the main diagnosis, and musculoskeletal system surgery was high as the main surgery. Second, differences in medical use in the metropolitan and non-metropolitan cities according to the characteristics of the analyzed subjects showed significant differences in children's age, treatment results, and administrative districts. Significant differences were shown in birth deformities, deformations, and chromosome abnormalities. Third, when patients had surgery and the severity was 1 point and there were 1000 beds or more, there were substantial differences in medical use in the metropolitan cities. Fourth, in the case of male, residents Suncheon-city, someone who had surgery, the severity was 1 point, and 500 to 999 beds showed significantly higher in medical use in the metropolitan cities. Based on these results, it is believed that qualitative policies should be established rather than the increase the number of medical institutions to resolve the regional imbalance in the medical use of pediatric patients.","PeriodicalId":491973,"journal":{"name":"Hanguk singyeong geunyuk jaehwal hakoeji","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135713142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
