This study was performed to identify the effects of different intensities of regular aerobic exercise on erythropoietin (EPO) and BDNF levels, and cognitive function and working memory in middle-aged women. Women aged 40 to 60 years residing in G-gu, Y-si, Gyeonggi-do were divided into 3 groups: control group, moderate-intensity aerobic exercise group and high-intensity aerobic exercise. All groups were asked to exercise at the given intensities, twice a week for a total of 12 weeks. Blood samples were collected from participants on week 0 (before exercising), week 6 and week 12, and then cognitive function and working memory tests were followed to measure erythropoietin (EPO) and BDNF levels, cognitive function and working memory. Repeated measures ANOVA, univariate analysis and follow-up test were performed on all data to compare the group, period and interaction through a SPSS. As a result, a significant difference over time was observed in EPO, BDNF, cognitive function and working memory; therefore, a follow-up one-way ANOVA analysis was performed on each group. As a result of analysis, a significant increase in erythrocyte, hematocrit, BDNF level and working memory was observed in moderate-intensity aerobic exercise group while erythrocyte and working memory were significantly increased inhigh-intensity aerobic exercise group. When comparing the results between the groups, the level of hematocrit was shown to be significantly higher in both moderate-and high-intensity aerobic group than the control group and also the higher level of hemoglobin was observed in both moderate-and high-intensity aerobic group comparing to control group. Considering the results of this study, therefore, a 12-week long aerobic exercise at moderate to high intensity positively affected EPO and BDNF levels, cognitive function and working memory in middle-aged women.

This research is aimed to prove if harmful effects of smoking, as the main reason for recently elevated blood vessel disease, could be reduced by aerobic exercise, and identify the positive effects of the aerobic exercise on smokers' blood vessel health(blood pressure, pulse pressure, and blood vessel elasticity. Experiments were performed on 40 male smokers aged between 40 and 55, which was equally divided into two groups of Aerobic Exercise Group (AEG) and Non Exercise Group (NEG). After measuring each group's blood pressure, pulse pressure, and blood vessel elasticity, AEG practiced aerobic exercise program for 50 minutes for each trial, three times a week, sustaining 12 weeks while NEG continued daily-life patterns without any special treatment. In 12 weeks, blood pressure, pulse pressure, and blood vessel elasticity of both groups were measured as the same way. As a result, the difference of systolic blood pressure between the two groups was not significant, while that of diastolic blood pressure was meaningful. The difference of pulse pressure between the two groups was meaningful, and that of blood vessel elasticity was also meaningful in all measuring points including left hand, right hand, left foot and right foot. As a consequent, it was found that aerobic exercise had positive effects on middle aged male smokers' blood vessel health.

12주간의 유산소 운동 및 복합성 운동이 중년여성의 신체 구성 및 혈중 지질에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위해 2009년 3월부터 9월까지 일개 D광역시 소재 일개 S구 보건소 12주 운동프로그램에 참가한 40~50대 중년 여성 78명을 대상으로 비만그룹과 정상그룹으로 나누어 주3회, 회당 80분의 유산소 운동과 유산소운동/근력 운동을 병행한 복합성 운동을 목표 심박수 40~60%에서 실시하였다. 1. WHO 기준 적용 시, 정상군의 경우 운동의 유형에 상관없이 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 2. WHO 기준 적용 시, 비만군의 경우 유산소 운동의 근육량, 체지방량, 체지방률을 제외하고 운동의 유형에 상관없이 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 3. 아시아-태평양 기준 적용 시, 정상군의 경우 일부 항목에서만 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 4. 아시아-태평양 기준 적용 시, 비만군의 경우 유산소 운동의 근육량을 제외하고 운동의 유형에 상관 없이 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 상기 결론에서 볼 수 있듯이, 12주간의 운동 프로그램은 WHO 기준 적용 시 일부 항목을 제외하고 운동 유형에 상관없이 40~50대 중년여성의 신체조성 및 혈중지질에 긍정적 효과를 미치는 것으로 판단된다. 그러나 비만에 대해 더 엄격한 아시아 - 태평양 기준 적용 시 특히 정상 군에서 유의한 차이를 보이지 않는 항목이 많이 나타났는데 이것은 우리나라 비만기준을 아시아태평양기준에서 세계 기준으로 바꿀 필요가 있다는 주장을 뒷받침하고 있다. 세계보건기구 WHO는 2004년에 이미 우리나라에 세계비만기준을 따를 것을 권고했는데, 실제 위험성이 정확하게 평가돼야지 정확한 대책이나 관리가 나올 수 있기 때문이다. WHO 기준에 의거 시 질병의 발생 위험도가 낮은 경도비만이 엄격한 아시아-태평양 지역 기준 적용 시 비만으로 분류되어 불필요하게 체형에 대한 부정적인 이미지나 스트레스를 받을 가능성도 있다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of treadmill exercise on the aerobic function of dance majors in their 20s. The subjects consisted of 10 female Korean dance majors in their 20s as an experimental group and 10 normal female college students as a control group, and both groups conducted treadmill gait training. Their heart rate recovery (HRR), maximal oxygen uptake (MOU), maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV), and lactate recovery rate (LRR) were measured before and after the experiment. The comparison of changes in the subjects' aerobic function before and after the experiment showed that the experimental group gained more significant effects on HRR and LRR than the control group. Therefore, treadmill gait training may help Korean dance majors to improve their basic physical strength by enhancing their aerobic function, and the findings of this study are likely to provide basic data to support scientific exercise prescriptions.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of aerobic exercise and a protein diet on serum lipid profiles, liver function, and immunoglobulin levels in rats. The subjects, 24 male Sprague-Dawley rats, were grouped into an exercise with protein diet group (A, n=6), a protein diet group (B, n=6), an exercise group (C, n=6), and a control group (D, n=6). The exercise with protein group trained for 4 weeks (20-30 min/day, speed at 14~17 m/min) and was given a 40% protein diet for 4 weeks. The variables of serum lipid profiles, liver function, and immunoglobulin levels were measured in all of the subjects at the end of the 4 weeks of treadmill exercise. Serum TC and LDL-C levels were significantly decreased in the exercise with protein diet group compared to the other groups and serum HDL-C, GOP, and IgG were significantly higher than in the other groups. However, no significant differences were found for the IgA and IgM levels. In conclusion, aerobic exercise with a protein diet was effective in improving serum lipid profiles, liver function, and immunoglobulin.

The physics theory applied to the elliptical health trainers can be a good example in engineering education. From the point of view of the physics education the measurement of mechanical and thermal energy expenditure in elliptical trainers can be related to the muscle activity, quantity of motion, and metabolic cost. We realized that the low speed training is effective for high basal metabolism due to increasing the muscle activity even if the high speed training is effective for training down. Elliptical Trainer may provide an effective oxygen exhaustion and thus effective training down. However, the metabolic cost does not have much relation to the amount of training under the high speed of trainer.

The purpose of this study was to investigate effect of low intensity resistance exercise and aerobic exercise on serum lipid level in chronic stroke patients. A total of 37 chronic stroke patients were enrolled in this study. The participants were allocated randomly to 2 groups: the low intensity resistance exercise group(n=19) and aerobic exercise group(n=18). Low intensity resistance exercise group took exercise with low intensity resistance for 50minutes, 5 times per week over a 8 week period. Aerobic exercise group received only aerobic exercise. We measured serum lipid level to compare of effectiveness both exercises. Paired t test was executed to determine differences between pre and post exercise. For all analyses, a significant level set at p<.05. The low intensity resistance exercise group showed significant increase in TG, TC HDL-C and LDL-C(p<.05). The aerobic exercise group had significantly higher TC and LDL-C (p<.05). Theses results suggest that low intensity resistance exercise and aerobic exercise are feasible for stroke patients by improving motivation and interest. Further studies is necessary to clinical implication classified by onset time and disability level.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of aerobic exercise and probiotics ingestion on motor learning and body weight in female mice during adolescence. The subjects were divided into six groups of variables, such as non-exercise, moderate, high-intensity exercise, probiotics ingestion, and non-probiotics, and then treated for four weeks. The vertical grid test was conducted before and after the treatment to evaluate motor learning and bodyweight. The high-intensity exercise and probiotics ingestion group showed fastest up, rotation, and down rate than the non-exercise group (p<.001). Also, a group that treated exercise and probiotics tended to record speedier performance than those that performed the only exercise. Comparing weight changes, the weight gain of a group that performed only moderate-intensity exercise was higher than that of a non-probiotics and non-exercise group (p=.032). Taken together, aerobic exercise during adolescence can help improve motor learning, and more efficient motor learning can be achieved when combined with probiotics ingestion.
