Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of forest exercise on blood pressure, heart rate, MDA, and SOD. Twelve volunteers were placed in 2 groups: Forest Exercise Group (FEG, n=6; $age=44.2{\pm}2.68$) and Indoor Exercise Group (IEG, n=6; $age=45.6{\pm}2.97$). The subjects who joined this investigation were asked to participate in forest exercise and/or indoor exercise. Blood pressure, heart rate, MDA, and SOD were collected at rest, just after the submaximal exercise, and 30 minutes after each exercise. For data analysis, mean and standard deviation scores were calculated, and ANCOVA were used. The results were as followings : 1) There was no difference between FEG and IEG on systolic blood pressure after submaximal exercise and at 30 minutes after each exercise., however FEG showed better stability than IEG on diastolic blood pressure at 30 minutes after forest exercise. 2) Both groups showed similar change of heart rate and MDA after submaximal exercise and at 30 minutes after each exercise. 3) Both groups similarly activated on the SOD level after submaximal exercise. However, compared to IEG, FEG showed significant decrease on SOD level at 30 minutes after forest exercise. Therefore, this study suggests that forest exercise may have good effects on blood pressure and MDA, and cardiovascular disease prevention.
