Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of combined exercise on physical fitness level, framingham risk score and vascular elasticity on women. All participants performed physical fitness test and measurement of vascular elasticity between pre and post exercise intervention program. Cardiovascular disease risk factor was assessed using the framingham risk score. Wilcoxon signed-rank test or paired t-test were performed to confirm changes in each factors pre and post the exercise program. The results were following : Except the hand grip strength and muscle power, all physical fitness levels such as muscular endurance, cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, agility, muscle power were significantly increases between pre and post exercise program. Furthermore, significant differences were found in the framingham risk score and vascular elasticity wave type between pre and post exercise program. In conclusion, we suggest that the combined exercise program reduces the cardiovascular disease risk and improve vascular elasticity on women.
