The purpose of this study is to promote understanding of physical activity and metabolic syndrome in middle-aged adults and to provide basic data of interventions development for the prevention and management of metabolic syndrome. Using the 2020 data for Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1,786 middle-aged adults between the ages of 40 and 64 with no missing data were analyzed. As a result of the study, 56.5(±2.1)% of men and 52.9(±1.81)% of women were sufficient activity group among physical activity, and the proportion of men was higher than that of women, but it was not statistically significant(t=1.27, p=.207). The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 38.9(±2.1%) of men and 25.4(±1.5)% of women, the prevalence of men was significantly higher than that of women(t=5.12, p<.001). Compared to the insufficient activity group, the sufficient activity group had a 0.71(95% CI: 0.57~0.88) times the risk of developing low HDL(high density lipoprotein)- cholesterol(p=.002), and this pattern was maintained even after adjusting for age, education level, body mass index, smoking status, and drinking status(p=.002). Based on the results of this study, a physical activity and metabolic syndrome risk group in middle-aged adults should be selected, and physical activity promotion program to improve high density lipoprotein-cholesterol among metabolic syndrome indicators should be developed.

The purpose of this study was to verify the effects of long-distance horseback riding on blood lipid, adipokines and inflammatory markers in obese middle-aged women. The subjects of this study were 9 obese meddle aged women and the data analysed using the paired t-test. The result of this study were as follows: First, TC(p<.01), LDL-C(p<.01), and HDL-C(p<.001) were significantly increased after long-distance horseback riding(LDHR). Second, adiponectin was significantly increased(p<.01) and also PAI-1 was significantly decreased(p<.01) after LDHR. Third, IL-6 was significantly increased(p<.01) after LDHR. These results suggest that long-distance horseback riding has positive effect on changes blood lipid, adipokines, and inflammatory markers in obese middle-aged women. Therefore we consider that effects of long-distance horseback riding has partial examine on prevention and therapy of obesity in middle-aged obese women who undergo physical and emotional big changed.

As for the study objects, men at the ages between 40 and 50, residing in Seoul and mostly having temporary jobs, office jobs and professional jobs, were surveyed with the questionnaire prepared, and 299 copies of the questionnaire in total were collected and used for the final analysis. SPSS 12.0 was used for the processing of the data, while the results were deduced by using exploratory analysis, reliability analysis, 1-way ANOVA and correlation analysis. The study results were as follows: Firstly, their Physical self-efficacy showed significant differences according to the stage of exercise change of the study objects, and as a result of the post-hoc analysis, it was found that as the stage became higher, their physical self-efficacy became higher as well. Secondly, the level of depression showed significant differences according to the stage of exercise change of the study objects, and as a result of the post-hoc analysis, it was found that as the stage generally became higher, their depression showed lower levels. Thirdly, their stress showed significant differences according to the stage of exercise change of the study objects, and as a result of the post-hoc analysis, it was found that the preparation stage had a lower level of stress than the maintenance stage while the before-plan stage had a lower level of stress than the before-plan stage and the maintenance stage. Fourthly, it was found that as the stage of exercise change became higher, their stress tended to decrease while their self-efficacy tended to increase.
