Abstract

Globally, obesity is defined as a disease, and in Korea, as the prevalence of obesity is higher than in the past, the obesity is serious. In particular, women"s obesity is known to be associated with women"s diseases. Triglyceride (TG), a blood triglyceride that is common in obese people, is associated with various lifestyle and vascular diseases. By improving TG and body composition, the development of body composition through body fat percentage and body mass index (BMI), which are indicators of obesity, is necessary. The elastic band exercise is an exercise that can be effectively performed by obese middle-aged women, and it is a combination of resistance exercise and aerobic exercise. It is expected to have a positive effect on the improvement of blood TG and body composition during exercise. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to use as a method for the prevention and treatment of obesity along with the healthy physical development of obese middle-aged women. The subjects of this study were 12 obese middle-aged women in their 40s with BMI 25 or more. The exercise was performed using elastic bands three times a week for 10 weeks and with intensity above 70% HRMax.We used the t-test using SPSS24.0 to examine the changes in body fat percentage and BMI, which were divided into pre and post blood triglycerides and body composition. Correlation analysis was performed to investigate the correlation between factors, and all statistical significance levels were set to α = .05. The results showed that the percentage of body fat (p<.05), BMI (p<.01), and blood triglycerides (p <.001) were decreased than pre-, and there was a statistically significant very high correlation between triglycerides * and body fat percentages (p<.001). The results showed that 10 weeks of combined exercise using elastic bands was effective in improving blood triglycerides and body composition in obese middle-aged women. There was a very high positive correlation between blood triglyceride and body fat percentage. Therefore, in the related follow-up studies, studies on the effects of obesity prevention exercise should be conducted on the overweight level, not on the obese person, and on the triglycerides as well as the various lifestyle-related factors caused by obesity.
