Abstract

본 연구는 체지방률이 35% 이상인 폐경기 비만중년여성 26명을 대상으로 하타요가 운동이 체조성과 렙틴 및 대사증후군관련인자에 미치는 영향과 렙틴에 영향을 미치는 대사증후군인자들을 규명하기 위하여 하타요가 운동을 16주간 실시한 후 운동전과 후의 체조성, 렙틴 및 대사증후군인자를 측정하여 비교분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과 운동 후에 하타요가집단에서 체중, 체지방률, 체질량지수, 허리둘레, 허리엉덩이둘레비 및 내장지방면적이 유의하게 감소하였고, 골격근량(SMM)은 증가하였다. 고밀도지단백 콜레스테롤(HDL-C)은 유의하게 증가하였고, 렙틴, 총콜레스테롤(TC), 중성지방(TG), 저밀도지단백 콜레스테롤(LDL-C), 인슐린, 글루코스 및 인슐린저항성지수(HOMA-IR)는 유의하게 감소하였으며, 하타요가집단의 렙틴에 영향을 미치는 대사증후군인자는 HDL-C로 나타났다. 이상과 같이 하타요가운동으로 체지방의 감량이 렙틴저항성을 개선하여 렙틴의 감소와 대사증후군인자의 개선으로 생활습관병을 예방하는 데 효과가 있을 것으로 사료된다. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of Hatha Yoga exercise on serum leptin and metabolic syndrome factors in obese and menopausal middle-aged women. The subjects were 26 obese women divided into the Hatha Yoga exercise group (n=13), which trained for 16 weeks, and the Control group (n=13). Variables of body composition, serum leptin and metabolic syndrome factors were measured in all the subjects before and after the 16-week Hatha Yoga training. The results of the study in the Hatha Yoga group were as follows: body weight, % fat, BMI, WC, WHR and VFA had significantly decreased, but SMM had increased. HDL-C had significantly increased, but leptin, TC, TG, LDL-C, insulin, glucose and HOMA-IR had decreased. The main variables affecting changes in VFA were % body fat, BMI, WHR, TC, LDL-C, glucose, and HOMA-IR. Therefore, regular and continuous Hatha Yoga exercise was effective in improving body composition, visceral fat and serum lipids. Consequently, Hatha Yoga exercise will be effective in preventing cardiovascular disease caused by obesity in obesew and menopausal middle-age women.
