장기간의 태권체조와 세라밴드 운동이 비만고령여성의 자립생활체력 및 hs-CRP 농도에 미치는 영향

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 24-week Takwondo aerobic and Thera-band on self-reliance physical fitness and hs-CRP concentration in obese elderly women. We recruited 20 elderly women with obese : a exercise group (n=10) and control group(n =10). The frequency of exercise for the group was 3 times per week (i.e., Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) for 24 weeks. Each 60-minute exercise programme included 10 minutes of warm-up activities and 5 minutes of cool-down activities. The results of this study showed that combined exercise improves body composition after 24 weeks. Self-reliance physical fitness was significantly increase than baseline values in the combined exercise group. The risk factor of Cardiovascular disease were significantly increase than baseline values in the combined exercise group. Our findings demonstration that a 24-week combined exercise programme may be an effective intervention strategy for improving body composition, self-reliance and risk factor of cardiovascular disease in obese elderly women.
