Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine changes in their cardiorespiratory function and body composition in female workers after aerobic exercise and circuit weight training. The subjects of this study were 16 female workers in B city and was divided into exercise and control groups which were composed of 8 people respectively. The members of exercise group had aerobic exercise and circuit weight training an hour a day, 5 days per week, for 8 weeks while controled group did not. Both groups were pretested and posttested, and the results of this study on cardiorespriatory function and body composition are as follows. Exercise group showed significant decrease in heart rate at rest(p<.001). Exercise group showed significant increase in the oxygen uptake at rest, in the maximum oxygen uptake and in the vital capacity(p<.001). Exercise group showed significant decrease in the %fat and fat(p<.001). Exercise group showed significant increase in the %LBM and LBM(p<.001).
