Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a combined exercise program on fitness levels and blood components in elderly patients with hypertension (n=24) or diabetes (n=19) residing in Bukgu in G Metropolitan City. The program was conducted three times per week for 12 weeks. By conducting the combined exercise, elderly patients with hypertension showed a statistically significant difference in fitness (muscle strength, muscle endurance, agility, and flexibility) and blood pressure and blood components(blood sugar, cholesterol, LDL, and systolic blood pressure). Also, elderly patients with diabetes showed a statistically significant difference in fitness(muscle endurance, agility, and flexibility) and blood pressure and blood component(cholesterol and LDL). Based on the findings, the combined exercise program conducted three times per week for 12weeks positively changed fitness levels, was effective for disease prevention, and maintained a regular exercise habit and insufficient exercise in elderly patients with hypertension and diabetes. Therefore, it is expected that the program will be helpful to maintain their healthy life.
