Abstract

The present study aims to verify the usefulness of microcurrent stimulation as an effective intervention for managing body shape. Thirty female college students with a percentage body fat of 30% or more participated as subjects and belonged to the one of three groups; control group, combined exercise group, microcurrent stimulation group. Based on the results of analyzing the measurement data from pre- and post-intervention for four weeks for each group, the following conclusions were obtained. There was no statistically significant difference in all measured variables in the control group. However, waist circumference and TC were significantly reduced in the combined exercise group, and also weight, percentage body fat, waist circumference, and apolipoprotein were significantly reduced in microcurrent stimulation group. Considering the above conclusions, it can be suggested that microcurrent stimulation could be an effective intervention to improve body composition and blood lipid profile to have a healthy body.

본 연구는 미세전류자극이 비만인의 체성분과 혈중지질성분의 변화에 미치는 효과를 규명하고, 복합운동의 효과와 비교함으로써 효과적인 체형 관리 방안으로서 미세전류자극의 유용성을 밝히고자 하였다. 체지방율 30% 이상인 여대생 30명을 통제집단, 복합운동집단, 미세전류자극집단으로 분류하였으며, 각 집단 별 4주간의 처치 전후 체중, 체지방율, 허리 둘레 등의 체성분 요인과 TG, TC, apolipoprotein 등의 혈중지질성분을 측정한 자료를 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 통제집단에서는 모든 측정 항목에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않은 반면 복합운동 집단에서는 허리둘레와 TC가 유의하게 감소한 것으로 나타났고, 미세전류자극 집단에서는 체중, 체지방율, 허리둘레, apolipoprotein 등이 유의하게 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 고려할 때 미세전류 자극은 비만인의 체성분과 혈중지질성분을 개선시켜 건강한 신체를 갖도록 하는데 효과적인 중재 방안으로 제안할 수 있다.
