규칙적인 복합운동이 경계성 비만 중년여성들의 혈압과 건강관련체력에 미치는 영향

Abstract

In this study, we classified middle-aged women with borderline obesity into the exercise group(n=20) and a total of 8 weeks of combined(band+circulation) exercise program was performed. The results were compared with those of 0 week and 8 week. First, blood pressure of middle-aged women with borderline obesity increased in the second measurement rather than the first measurement, and maintained the normal level. Second, there was no statistically significant difference in the waist circumference, body weight, and body fat percentage in the health-related physical fitness of the borderline obese middle-aged women. There was also a statistically significant difference in muscle strength, muscle endurance, cardiovascular endurance, and flexibility. In conclusion, we conclude that combined exercise for middle-aged women with borderline obesity is one of the exercise programs that can improve the physical fitness level with positive blood pressure maintenance and improvement of health-related physical fitness. In later studies, exercise intensity and frequency were found to be better for women with borderline obesity, and it would be expected to prevent diseases such as lifestyle-related diseases.
