Abstract

Purpose: This research is to promote an walking exercise program for the subjects to continue exercise by mitigating stresses with increase in increase their physiological index. Methods: The research design was a non-equivalent control group, quasiexperimental study. The research has been executed from August 1st to September 30th 2008 by operating walking exercise program to 50 subjects. Only 24 patients who continued this program to the last were could be investigated. Results: Among the subjects who participated in the program had shown significant differences in weight and BMI. Despite of an insignificant change in skeletal muscle mass, fat mass, body fat ratio and WHR, average value for skeletal muscle mass showed an increasing tendency, while the average values for fat mass, body fat ratio and WHR showed a decreasing tendency. Conclusion: In conclusion, walking exercise program was design for the subjects to be able to exercise without an extra cost for a special tool to exercise with an positive effect on increasing health problem.
