Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 12 weeks aerobic exercise program to old women`s Health-related Physical Fitness and Bone density. The subjects of this study were an aerobic exercise group composing 13 women whose average age was 70.14 and a control group composing 15 women whose average age was 69.12. Aerobic exercise group were joined this exercise program performing for one hour per day, 3 times a week over a period of 12 weeks in 60~80% HRR. The results were analysed by paired t-test and independent t-test at the .05 level of significance. The results of this study were as follows; First, Aerobic exercise group did significant statistical differences at p.05 level in % fat, Cardiorespiratory endurance, Muscular endurance, Flexibility, Balance, Reaction time. Muscular strength was no significant statistical differences in between aerobic exercise group and control group, but had significant statistical differences in aerobic exercise group. Second, Bone density were not significant statistical differences in between aerobic exercise group and control group, and within two group. In conclusion, there has been a substantial improvement in 12 weeks by aerobic exercise program, Exercise Program is recommended to olders in aspect of increasing Health-related Physical Fitness, Balance, and reaction time significantly. To see the significant change in bone density that the researcher thought, we must do more research considering age, exercise type and intensity.
