8주간의 강도별 웨이트트레이닝이 비만고교생의 대사증후군 인자 개선에 미치는 영향

The Effects of Weight Training by Intensity for 8 Weeks of Metabolic Syndrome Factor Improvement in Overweight High School Students

일반계 비만고교생 60명을 4그룹으로 구분, 웨이트트레이닝을 1일 60${\sim}$70분, 주 3회, 8주간 강도별(A group: control group, B group: $40{\sim}55%RM$, C group: $60{\sim}75%RM$, D group: $80{\sim}90%RM$)로 실시하여 대사증후군 5가지 인자(waist size, fasting glucose, TG, HDL-C, blood pressure) 개선을 위한 가장 효과적인 WT 강도를 알아보았다. Waist size의 감소는 운동군 모두 효과적이었으나 $40{\sim}55%RM$과 $60{\sim}75%RM$ 실시 그룹이 더욱 효과적이었고, TG의 감소도 운동군 모두 효과적이었으나 $40{\sim}55%RM$ RM 실시 그룹이 더욱 효과적이었다. Fasting glucose는 차이가 없었으며, HDL-C는 대조군보다 $80{\sim}90%RM$ 실시 그룹이 유의하게 증가하였고, blood pressure는 diastolic blood pressure는 차이가 없었고, systolic blood pressure는 다른 그룹보다 $40{\sim}55%RM$ 실시 그룹이 유의하게 감소하였다. 이러한 결과는 중 고강도보다는 오히려 저강도가 대사증후군 인자 개선에 효과적이라는 것을 시사하며, 웨이트트레이닝이 비만고교생의 대사증후군 위험 인자를 개선해준다는 사실을 확인하였다. 따라서, 비만고교생은 대사증후군 인자의 개선을 위해 $40{\sim}55%\;RM$의 웨이트트레이닝을 실시하는 것이 효과적이라 생각된다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the most effective weight training (WT) intensity for the improvement of metabolic syndrome factors in overweight high school students. Sixty overweight high school students were randomly divided into 4 groups (15 subjects/group) according to WT intensity: A group - control group, B group - 40-55% repetition maximum (RM) group, C group - 60-75% RM group, and D group - 80-90% RM group. They exercised between 60-70 minutes a day, three times a week, for eight weeks. In order to determine the most effective WT intensity, five metabolic syndrome factors--waist size, fasting glucose, triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) and blood pressure--were measured for each subject prior to and after the experiment. Waist size decreased in all exercise groups, but the results were more prominent in the 40-55% RM and 60-75% RM groups. TG levels also decreased in all groups but results were more prominent in the 40-55% RM group. HDL-C levels in the 80-90% RM group were significantly higher than the control group. Groups did not show any significant difference in the diastolic blood pressure, but the 40-55% RM group's systolic blood pressure significantly decreased compared to other groups. Groups did not show significant difference in the fasting glucose level. These results indicate that lower-intensity weight training is generally more effective than the higher-intensity weight training in improving metabolic syndrome factors in overweight high school students and that the most effective WT intensity is 40-55% RM.
