Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate of flying yoga exercise on physical fitness, body composition and cortisol in middle-aged women. Total of 20 subjects were randomly assigned to a control group (CG, n=10) and an flying yoga exercise group (EG, n=10). The exercise group performed flying yoga exercise for 60 minutes per session, 3 times a week for a total of 12 weeks. In order to compare the effects of flying yoga exercise, we confirmed physical fitness, body composition and cortisol. As results of this study, Tne back strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and cardiorespiratory endurance were significantly higher in the exercise group after exercise than in the control group. Grip strength was significantly increased post-exercise than pre-exercise in the exercise group.BR The free fat mass was significantly higher in the exercise group after exercise than in the control group. % body fat decreased significantly in the exercise group after exercise. Tne salivary cortisol was significantly lower in the exercise group after exercise. These results suggest that flying yoga exercise for 12 weeks could be the effective exercise in middle-aged women to induce a positive change in the physical fitness, body composition and a stress hormone.
