초록

본 연구는 12주 규칙적인 태극권 운동이 중년비만 여성의 혈액성분과 체력요인에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 태극권 운동 전, 후 신체적 특성 중 양식(YS) 그룹이 12 건식(12KS) 그룹에 비해 체중, 체지방률, 수축기 및 이완기 혈압이 높았지만 유의한 차이는 나타내지 못했다. 2. 태극권 운동 전, 후, 혈액변인 중 양식 그룹(YS)의 중성지방(TG)을 제외하고 모두 감소함을 나타냈지만 통계적 차이는 나타내지 못했다. 또한 12건식(12KS) 그룹은 혈액변인 모두 감소하였지만 통계적으로 유의하지는 못했다. 두 그룹 모두 감소함을 나타냈지만 유의한 차이를 나타내지 못해 결과적으로 혈액변인의 개선은 나타내지 못했다. 3. 태극권 운동 전, 후 체력요인은 두 그룹 모두에서 유의하게(p<0.05) 증가함을 나타냈으나 양식 그룹(YS)의 평형성 (Balance)은 유의한 차이를 나타내지 못했고 12 건식(12KS) 그룹에서는 민첩성과 평형성이 유의한 차이를 나타내지 못했다. 따라서 본 연구는 대상으로 12주 태극권 운동이 비만여성의 혈액성분 개선에는 크게 영향을 미치지 못한데 반해 체력요인에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

Tai Chi is a slow and gentle exercise which is suitable for obese women with chronic diseases. Tai Chi can improve the health of a senior without exacerbating existing impairments, including obese patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of different types of Tai Chi exercise on blood variables (glucose, cholesterol, TG, HDL, LDL, cortisol) and physical fitness (muscle strength, flexibility, muscle endurance, agility, balance). Thirty obese women were recruited from a public health center. They were divided into Yang style (YS: n=15) and 12 (12KS: n=15). The Tai Chi exercise group participated in a training program for 12 weeks (3times/week). There was significant improvement in muscle strength, flexibility, and muscle endurance in both groups. Agility was significantly increased in YS, more than in 12KS. However, there was no improvement in balance in both groups. There was significant improvement in cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and cortisol in both groups. However there was no improvement in blood glucose levels in either group. From the results, there was no significant difference in either Tai Chi exercises. The Tai Chi exercise program was effective in improving cholesterol related variables and physical fitness, except balance, in both groups. Further study is needed in this area.
