Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of combine exercise on body composition and Cardiovascular risk factors in obese elderly women. Twenty, obese elderly women composed of circulation exercise group(EX, n=10), the control group(CON, n=10). The variables of body composition and Cardiovascular risk factors were measured in all the subjects before the start and after the end of 12 week circulation exercise program(50~60%HRR, 3 times per week, 60 mins).BR The test data were analyzed by paired t-test and repeated measure ANOVA, and the alpha level of p.05 was set for all tests of significance.BR Body composition and Cardiovascular risk factors were measured pre and 12 weeks of post exercise training. Percentage of Body Fat, Total cholesterol, Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, AI, C-reactive protein was significantly decreased in EX group compared to CON group. Lean Body Mass were significantly increased in EX group compared to CON group.BR These results suggest that 12 weeks of combine exercise improves body composition and Cardiovascular risk factors. Thus, this combine exercise can be a useful therapy to improve body composition and Cardiovascular risk factors in obese elderly women.
