Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of combined exercise on body composition, health-related physical fitness and atherogenic index in middle-aged women with metabolic syndrome. The combined exercise consisted of aerobic and resistance exercise program 70min/session, 3 days each per week for 12 weeks. The results were as follows. First, in body composition, Weight(p<.001), BMI(p<.001), % Fat(p<.05), and BMR(p<.05) had a statistically significant. Second, health-related physical fitness, Left grip strength(p<.01), Right grip strength(p<.01), 20m run(p<.05), Sit and reach(p<.01), 10m run(p<.05), and Standing jump(p<.01) had a statistically significant. Third, atherogenic risk factor, SBP(p<.01), DBP(p<.05), TC(p<.01), AI(p<.001), Waist circumference(p<.01), HDL-C(p<.01), TG(p<.001), and Glucose(p<.01) had a statistically significant. In conclusion, these findings suggest that combined exercise may represent an effective intervention strategy for body composition and health-related physical fitness and atherogenic index in middle-aged women with metabolic syndrome.
