The diets used to this experiment were composed only of stock diet for group A, a mixture of stock diet and 2% cholesterol for group B, and 5%, 10% perilia powder for group C, D and 5%, 10% pine nut for group E, F in addition to group B diet respectively. All groups fed with these experimental diets for 3 weeks were fasted for 15 hours at the end of the experiment, and then they were decapitated to take serum. The serum was used to measure the level of glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL-cholesterol and lipoprotein composition. The results were summarized as follows. 1. Perilla and pine nut diets have no influence on body weight and food intake in cholesterolfed male rats 2. The blood glucose level was not changed significantly at groups C-F. 3. Total cholesterol level was significantly decreased by 21.6% ~ 29.7% at group C-F than at group B. 4. HDL-cholesterol level was increased by 51.3% ~ 86.1% at group C-F than at Group B. 5. The $\alpha/\beta$ ratio which is 0.51 at the group A was risen to 0.99 at the group B. However, this ratio was decreased to 0.5 0 - 0.51 at group C, D and to 0.68 - 0.69 at group E.F.

Prior to the Independent Visual Background(IVB) luminance control experiment, we studied that IVB could reduce the simulator sickness depending on subject＇s knowledge about the IVB (expectation group) or non-IVB (no expectation group). As results of experiments from 12 subjects, expectation group＇s RSSQ scores were similar, no matter IVB was present or not. However, non-expectation group＇s RSSQ scores were lower when the IVB were present. The result from this experiment confirms the findings of Duh (2001), that an IVB may alleviate SS. However this effect was found only at the expectation group. Failure to replicate Duh＇s results could be due to several factors, such as individual differences in response to the IVB and the low number of subjects (n=6) in the no expectation group.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of plank exercises with resistance of one-sided hip adduction on abdominal muscle thickness. Methods: Thirty subjects were divided into a group that underwent plank exercises with one-sided hip adduction resistance (n=15) and a group that underwent plank exercises only (n=15). Their changes in abdominal muscle thickness before the experiment (n=15) and three and six weeks after the experiment were analyzed using a two-way repeated analysis of variance at a statistical significance level of ${\alpha}=0.05$. When there was any interaction between the time of measurement and each group, post hoc t-tests were conducted at a statistical significance level of ${\alpha}=0.01$. Results: The results of the experiment showed statistically significant differences in the thickness of the rectus abdominis, internal oblique muscle, and transversus abdominis, depending on the time of measurement and the interaction between the time of measurement and each group (p<0.05). Statistically significant differences were observed in the thickness of the external oblique, depending on the time of measurement, the interaction between the time of measurement and each group, and variances between the groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: The results of this study indicated that plank exercises with resistance of one-sided adduction are effective for increasing abdominal muscle thickness. The study's overall findings will likely be used as basic data for lumbar stabilization exercises and rehabilitation treatment.
