Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 12-week aquarobics exercise on blood lipids, atherogenic index, and liver functions in elderly women. The subjects for the study were 25 healthy elderly women volunteers, aged 65 to 80 years, composed of the aquarobics exercise group (n=13) and control group (n=12). Twice a week for 60 minutes for 12 weeks. The exercise intensity was set to RPE 11-12 for 1 week to 4 weeks, RPE 13-14 for 5 week to 8 weeks and RPE 15-16 for 9 week to 12 weeks respectively. The test data were analyzed by two-way repeated measures ANOVA, paired t-test, and independent t-test. The alpha level of .05 was set for all tests of significance. The results of the study in the aquarobics exercise group were as follows; LDL-C (p<.05), AST (p<.05) had significantly decreased, with TC (p<.01), TG (p<.05), LDL-C (p<.05), LDL-C/HDL-C (p<.05), TG/HDL-C (p<.05), AST (p<.001) significantly lower than control group. Consequently, these findings suggest that regular aquarobics exercise will be effective for preventiy the metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular health in elderly women.
