Abstract
The purpose of this study is to present scientific data and efficient methods of exercise to develop basic diet program. Exercise program for general muscular balance suggested in this study is composed of muscular resistance exercise and aerobic exercise designed for the reinforcement of muscular strength and the decrease of obesity. The subjects of this study are 24 obese university students over a BMI of 25, which are divided into two groups. Each group has 12 including male 6, female 6. One group(case) had carried out exercise program for general muscular balance for 12 weeks, the other group(control) had taken aerobic exercise for 12 weeks respectively. InBody Body 3.0 (Biospace, Seoul, Korea) was used as a apparatus of experiment. The measured body compositions are weight, soft lean truss, lean-body mass, free fat mass, %body fat, waist hip ratio, body mass index. Blood lipids was measured on an empty stomach for more than 12 hours around 9 a.m. The measured items are total cholesterol (TC), high densitylipoprotein- cholesterol(HDL-C), triglyceride(TG), low density lipoprotein -cholesterol(LDL-C). Somatotype was measured by hazeltine for the human body, scales, calipers (SKYNDEX)). The whole somatotype was measured by Life Size Program(USA) using the value of skinfolds at 9 parts, girths at 5 parts, and breadths at 2 parts. The measurements had been taken before exercise of each group, after 4 weeks, after 8 weeks, after 12 weeks. Body composition and Blood lipids of the measured data were analyzed with MANOVA using SAS, somatotype with non-parametics test. The results are as follows; ① There was no significant differences both in male and female of two groups. ② Body composition had more effective changes in control group than in case group(p<.05). ③ Blood lipids had more effective changes in control group than in case group(p<.05). ④ Somatotype had no significant differences between two groups statistically, but control group had more effective changes than case group. Considering all the results mentioned above, exercise program for general muscular showed the positive effects on obesity with the change of body composition, blood lipids, somatotype. It is desirable to perform muscular resistance exercise and aerobic exercise effective to the decrease of lean body mass at a same time rather than the only aerobic exercise. Exercise program for general muscular balance to cure postural muscular unbalance caused by obesity can be utilized for the prevention antreatment of obesity, effective on the health management of adults as well as students.
