Abstract
In this study, elderly women were subjected to a combination of Cognicise and Pilates exercise 3 times a week for 12 weeks to determine their body composition (weight, muscle mass, body fat percentage, waist circumference, hip circumference) and mental health index (pulse wave, brain wave). It was carried out to analyze what kind of effect it has, and the following conclusions were obtained through the results.BR First, in body composition, the exercise group significantly (p.01) decreased in body weight, significantly increased (p.01) muscle mass, and significantly (p.05) decreased waist and hip circumferences. Second, in the exercise group, the HRV-index and sympathetic nerve activity index among the pulse wave items increased significantly (p.001), and the autonomic nerve health index also increased significantly (p.01). Body (autonomic nerve) age decreased significantly (p.001). The control group significantly (p.01) decreased in the parasympathetic activity index. EEG significantly (p.001) increased in the exercise group in the brain health score. The control group showed a significant (p.05) increase in body weight and body fat percentage. As described above, 12 weeks of Cognicise and Pilates combined exercise is effective for positive changes in body composition and improvement of mental health index in elderly women, and it is thought to be helpful in maintaining a healthy life.
