Abstract

The purpose of this study is to provide basic data for preventing arteriosclerosis of men by analyzing the effects of aerobic exercise capacity on arterial pulse wave velocity and body composition. The significance probability was .574 as skeletal muscle mass of the group of high aerobic exercise capacity was 31.99±3.23 and the group of low aerobic exercise capacity was 30.71±5.37.<BR> 1. For body composition, volume of body fat and visceral fat of the group of high aerobic exercise capacity was significantly lower than the group of low aerobic exercise capacity, and total weight without fat was 3.5% and basal metabolism was higher by 2.7% but did not show a significant difference.<BR> 2. For brachial ankle pulse velocity, the right side of the group of aerobic exercise capacity was significantly lower than the group of low aerobic exercise capacity and the left side was higher by 11.1% but did not show a significant difference.<BR> According to these results, obesity due to excessive accumulation of fat increases arterial wall thickness of middle-aged men, and prevention of negative changes in arterial blood vessels of obese middle-aged men is important because it causes negative changes that reduce internal carotid artery and increases the morbidity rate of cardiac disorder and cerebrovascular diseases.
