The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 12-week aerobic exercise training on cardiac QT intervals and cardiovascular risk profiles in type 1 diabetic children. Eleven type 1 diabetic children aged 9-17 years took part in this study as subject. The participants performed aerobic exercise training three times a week for total 12 weeks. The intensity of the training was adjusted at HRR 45% until three weeks and at HRR 55% since four weeks. After a 12-week aerobic exercise training systolic (p<0.05) and diastolic (p<0.05) blood pressure of the subjects was decreased. There was significant decrease in cardiac QT intervals (p<0.05), TC level (p<0.05), and HDL-C level (p<0.05). Therefore, the results of this study suggest that long-term regular physical activity of type 1 diabetic children considered exercise intensity and frequency may effect and play a important role in the prevention of diabetic complications and cardiovascular health care.

We investigated the effect of smoking on cardiovascular responses during acute dynamic exercise. Eleven college students who had been smoking (duration of smoking: $7.45{\pm}0.90$ years; number of cigarettes per day: $17.72{\pm}1.22$) participated in this study. All subjects completed a graded exercise testing to determine the relative exercise intensity. The cardiovascular responses were measured at rest, and during mild and moderate exercise immediately, 24, and 48 hours after smoking. The same procedures were repeated during 24-h smoking withdrawal. All subjects were continuously instrumented to measure systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), heart rate (HR), stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (CO), and total vascular conductance (TVC) at rest and during exercise. The results showed that compared to the nicotine abstention, SBP, DBP, MAP, and HR were significantly higher at 24 and 48 hours after smoking ($p$<0.05), and CO was significantly higher at rest and during moderate exercise ($p$<0.05). There were no differences in SV and TVC before and after smoking. Thus, the results suggest that smoking is associated with an exaggerated sympathetic nerve activity during dynamic exercise. Consequently, smoking cessation may help reduce cardiac events, such as stroke and heart attack, during exercise.

The objectives of this study was to examine the effect of Interactive Video Game on cognitive information processing the elderly. Sixty elderly were attended in this study. Their ages ranged from 65 to 70, with a mean age of 67.60 years. The subjects were randomly assigned to one of three experimental conditions: (1) interactive video game group (n=20), (2) aerobic exercise group (n=20), (3) control group (n=20). The experimental design of this study was analyzed using two-way ANOVAs with repeated measures of groups and time. Cognitive function was assessed by neuroelectrical response, and ERP analysis. The results of the study showed that the interactive video game group and aerobic exercise group showed no significant statistical differences in the response time, response accuracy, amplitude and potential of the performance of the exercise in cognitive function and ERP analysis, but improved the interaction video game group and aerobic exercise (walking) group over the control group. It was concluded that long-term aerobic exercise like interactive video game is associated with attenuation of cognitive decline in the elderly.

본격적인 등산의 계절이다. 특히 단풍이 절정을 이루는 10월의 산은 단풍을 즐기려는 등산객으로 넘쳐난다. 등산은 산을 오르고 내려오는 기본적인 유산소운동과 근력 강화, 심폐기능 강호는 물론이고 스트레스까지 없앨 수 있다. 그러나 무턱대고 오르다가는 오히려 독이 될 수 있다 등신도 똑똑해야 한다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of dietary restriction(DG), aerobic exercise(EG), dietary restriction with aerobic exercise(DEG) on weight, improvement of obesity, blood lipid profiles and metabolic risk factors of obese female college students. Experiments was conducted 5 times a week for 8 weeks. DG spent 300kcal/day, and EG used 300kcal/day to run, DEG each consumed 150kcal/day limits. As s result, in case of body composition, weight(p<.011) and BMI(p<.008) were decreased in DG group, and weight(p<.044, p<.017), body fat(p<.047, p<.018), BMI(p<.03, p<.008), body fat%(p<.036, p<.015) and WHR(p<.049, p<.027) were decreased in EG and DEG groups. In case of blood lipid profiles's change, there are some differences on TC(p<.006), TG(p<.047) according to the time. In DG:HDL-C(p<.028), in EG:TG(p<.038), in DEG:TC(p<.014), LDL-C(p<.007) have decreased. In case of metabolic risk factor's change, there are some differences on FBG(p<.001), insulin(p<.004), HOMA-IR(p<.001), leptin(p<.000), adiponectin(p<.038), resistin(p<.010) according to time. In DG:HOMA-IR(p<.035) and leptin(p<.007), EG:FBG(p<.043) and leptin(p<.003), DEG:FBG(p<.014), insulin(p<.005), HOMA-IR(p<.005), leptin(p<.016), and resistin(p<.040) have decreased. In conclusion, combined treatment of eating restriction with aerobic exercise was the most effective way to improvement of weight, blood lipid profiles and metabolic risk factors in obese female college students rather than respectively alone treatment.

Objective : Sleep disorder caused by stress or disease to elderly currently. We tried to make clear constant exercise according to exercise intensity would have effect on sleep disorder in elderly using EEG and melatonin. Methods : Thirty subjects were over 65 years old who lived a senior facility in some parts. They were able to communicate and understand the purpose of the study. They also expressed their intension to participate actively in experiment. They should have alert consciousness and orientation about time, place, and people. Sleep disorder was assessed via below 6 hr total sleep time and Pittsburge Sleep Quality Index, which was satisfied with both of criterion at the same time. Exercises composed of low intensity walking, moderate aerobic exercise, and high intensity resistance strength. We used QEEG 8-System (LAXTHA Inc. KOREA) to check wave type and Polysomnograpy (Compumedics, Australia) to test quality of sleep. and Histologic features were observed by TTC (triphenyltetrazolium chloride) staining and H & E (Hematoxylin & Eosin) staining. Results : There was a significant sleep index and change of melatonin after aerobic exercise. There was a significant SOL, S1, S2, and SWS in aerobic exercise, but there was a significant SWS in walking and resistance strength. There was a significant change of delta wave especially in frontal and temporal region between exercises. Conclusion : They had different effects according to type of exercise, when elderly who have chemical, behavioral change of circadian rhythms did exercise consistently. Aerobic exercise had more effect on sleep disorder than other exercise. Therefore, we may supply proper exercise to elderly and high quality of life.

Sprague Dawley rats(24 weeks of age) were divided and were given normal diet for 6 weeks, followed by normal diet and 2% cholesterol diet for 14 weeks. During these periods, 10 weeks’ exercises are performed after 4 weeks. And then we analyze the blood and adipose tissue by decapitating those rats. 1. Serum total cholesterol was enhenced by cholesterol diet, while aerobic exercise tended to reduce it. 2. Cholesterol diet slightly reduced serum HDL-C and LDL-c, where as aerobic exercise showed a tendency to decrease it. 3. Cholesterol diet slightly reduced phospholipid and triglyceride, but aerobic exercise showed a tendency to increase them. 4. Aerobic exercise significantly decreased adipose tissue in normal diet rats and tended to reduce it in cholesterol-dietary rats. These results suggest that aerobic exercise decrease serum total cholesterol and LDL-C, and as a result can prevent atherosclerosis.

The aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of 12 weeks-moderate aerobic exercise training on body composition, adiponectin, retinol-binding protein-4 (RBP-4), and vascular inflammation factors in obese children. The subjects were classified into two groups, one of which was an exercise group (n=15) practicing moderate aerobic exercise training for 12 weeks, and the other group, the control group (n=13), was not in that program. The exercise group participants performed on the treadmill running at heart rate reserve (HRR) 50% of exercise intensity for 300 kcal of the consumed time. The results of all the studies and inspections are as follows: Weight, body mass index, body fat, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure were significantly lower, while $VO_2$ max was higher in the exercise group than in the control group (p<0.05, respectively). Fasting glucose, insulin, and HOMA-IR levels in the exercise group were significantly decreased (p<0.05), whereas adiponectin levels in the exercise group were significantly increased after 12 weeks' exercise training (p<0.05). In addition, our results showed that RBP4, C-reactive protein (CRP), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) concentrations in the exercise group were significantly lower than those of the control group (p<0.05). This investigation has shown that a 12 weeks-regular aerobic exercise program offers useful effects such as an amelioration of inflammation and body indices in obese children.
