비만 여성의 16주간 운동프로그램 참여가 복부 지방, 혈청지질, 혈당 및 혈압에 미치는 영향

초록

Background: Abdominal obesity has steadily increased due to reduction of basic metabolic rate, lack of exercise, excess intake, or hormonal changes in women. It is well recognized as an important risk factor for metabolic disease and cardiovascular disease. The present study was to investigate the effect of exercise on abdominal fat, lipid profile, blood glucose, and blood pressure. Method: Twenty-one women aged between 34 and 60 years old with BMI above 25kg/m2 were participated in sixteen-week exercise program at Guro-Gu community health center. Abdominal fat by CT, lipid profile, blood glucose, and blood pressure were measured at Guro-Korea University Hospital before and after sixteen-week exercise. Result: After sixteen-week exercise, body weight, BMI, blood pressure, and abdominal fat, especially, subcutaneous fat were significantly (p<0.01) decreased. Changes of BMI were positively (p<0.05) correlated with blood pressure, and reduction of waist circumference was positively correlated with abdominal fat, subcutaneous fat, and frequency of exercise. However, lipid profile and blood glucose levels did not significantly differ before and after sixteen-week exercise. Conclusion: Sixteen-week exercise was very effective on reduction of BMI, abdominal fat, and blood pressure. However, exercise only did not significantly improve lipid profile and blood glucose level.
