Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a 12-weeks aquarobics on metabolic syndrome risk factors and health fitness in 25 abdominally obese elderly women. As the results, while waist circumference(87.40/82.76cm, p<.01) decreased, HDL-C(41.13/45.42mg/dl, p<.05) increased after the exercise program. Blood pressure and TG, however, decreased with no significance. And while muscle strength increased(17.06/19.08kg, p<.05), the increase in flexibility, muscle endurance, and cardiopulmonary endurance and the decrease in body fat showed some positive effects of the exercise program. In conclusion, we found that the aquarobics improves the aging-induced deterioration in the muscular skeletal function by lowering abdominal obesity and improving metabolic syndrome and physical fitness for health. In addition, the aquarobics can be an effective alternative to an aerobics or a resistance exercise on the ground.

본 연구는 복부비만 노인여성 25명을 대상으로 12주간 아쿠아로빅 운동을 적용한 후 대사증후군 및 건강체력의 효과를 규명하는데 목적이 있다. 연구결과 아쿠아로빅 운동 후 복부비만 노인여성의 허리둘레(87.40/82.76cm, p<.01)는 유의하게 감소하였고, 고밀도지단백콜레스테롤(41.13/45.42mg/dl, p<.05)은 유의하게 증가하였다. 혈압과 중성지방은 유의하지 않았지만 감소하였다. 또한, 근력(17.06/19.08kg, p<.01)은 유의하게 증가하였고 유연성, 근지구력, 심폐지구력의 증가와 체지방률의 감소는 긍정적인 효과를 보였다. 이상과 같은 결과를 통하여 볼 때 아쿠아로빅 운동은 복부비만을 해결하고 대사증후군과 건강체력을 긍정적인 방향으로 변화시켜 노화로 인해 저하된 근골격계 기능을 향상 및 증진시켜 건강한 생활을 영위할 수 있을 것으로 생각되며 아쿠아로빅 운동이 지상에서의 유산소 운동 및 저항 운동을 대체할 수 있는 유용한 운동이라 할 수 있다.
