복합운동프로그램이 비만중년여성의 건강관련체력과 혈액성분에 미치는 영향

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effects of composite exercise program on health-related physical fitness, blood components and inflammation markers. In order to achieve this purpose, this study conducted a 12-week composite exercise program which mixed aerobic with anaerobic exercises in 30 obese middle-aged women with a body fat of over 30%. Finally the following results were obtained. 1. For the health-related physical fitness, there was no difference between the experiment group and the control group in the pre-test of two groups concerning body composition-related weight, %body fat, LBM, BMI, and WHR, whereas there was an increase or a decrease in the post-test. The experiment group showed an increase or a decrease between the pre-test and the post-test, suggesting the effect of the composite exercise program on body composition in obese middle-aged women. For physical fitness, there was no difference between the experiment group and the control group in the pre-test of two group concerning muscular strength, muscular endurance, and cardiorespiratory endurance, whereas the results of the post-test showed a significant increase. There was no difference in flexibility between the pre-test and the posttest. The experiment group showed an increase in muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and cardiorespiratory endurance between the pre-test and the post-test, suggesting the effect of the composite exercise program on health-related physical fitness in obese middle-aged women. There was no difference in all factors in the control group. 2. For blood components, there was no difference between the experiment group and the control group in the pre-test of two groups concerning TC, LDL-C, TG, hematocrit, leptin, insulin, and FFA, whereas the results of the post-test showed a decrease, which meant a significant difference. There was no a significant difference in HDL-C and glucose between the pre-test and the post-test. The experiment group showed an increase or a decrease in muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and cardiorespiratory endurance between the pre-test and the post-test, suggesting the positive effect of the composite exercise program on blood components in obese middle-aged women. There was no difference in hematocrit. There was no difference in all factors in the control group.
