Abstract

In the elderly, a lower muscle mass and higher body fat mass are induced by a lower level of physical activity. A negatively changed body composition with an advanced age can lead to a higher falling risk and rate of diseases. On the other hand, aerobic-type exercise positively influences the body composition and hyperlipidemia in the elderly. Therefore, this study examined the effects of aquarobic training for 12 weeks on the body composition and blood lipid levels in obese old women. The subjects (n = 31, body fat: 33.42%) completed a 12 week water based aerobic training at 12 - 13 of Borg Scale of intensity (three times per week, each session: an hour). The body composition was measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis (Inbody 770-Biospace, Seoul, Korea) and the concentrations of blood lipids (high-density lipids cholesterol (HDL), low-density lipids cholesterol (LDL), triglyceride (TG) total cholesterol (TC)) were determined at pre and post training. A paired t-test was used for data analysis with ${\alpha}=0.05$. In the results, the body composition (% body fat (p < 0.05) and waist circumference (p < 0.05)) were reduced significantly. The LDL (p < 0.05), TG (p < 0.001) and TC (p < 0.05) were reduced significantly. In conclusion, a 12 week aquarobic exercise program helps improve the body composition and concentrations of serum lipids. Therefore, aquarobic exercise can enhance lipolysis using fat as energy to induce an improvement of the body composition and induce hyperlipidemia.

본 연구는 비만 노인여성을 대상으로 아쿠아로빅 운동을 적용한 후 신체조성 및 혈중지질의 개선효과를 알아보고 노인운동프로그램에 관한 다각적인 기초자료를 제공하는데 목적이 있다. 실험참가자들 (n=31)은 12주 동안 주 3회 60분의 아쿠아로빅 운동을 Borg의 운동자각도 12-13의 강도로 실시하였다. 신체조성은 inbody의 생체전기저항분석법을 사용하여 측정하였고 채혈된 혈액에서 혈중지질 (고밀도지단백(HDL), 저밀도지단백(LDL), 중성지방(TG)와 총콜레스터롤(TC))을 분석하였다. 자료의 분석은 대응 t-test를 이용하였고 유의수준은 0.05로 설정하였다. 아쿠아로빅 운동 후 체지방량과 허리둘레는 유의하게 감소하였고 (p < 0.05) 혈중지질 중 LDL (p < 0.05), TG (p < 0.001), 그리고 TC (p < 0.05)은 유의하게 감소하였다. 이상과 같은 결과를 볼 때 아쿠아로빅 운동은 신체조성과 혈중지질에 긍정적인 방향으로 변화시켰으며, 지방대사의 활용을 높여 지질분해의 향상과 신체조성을 증진시키고 고지혈증의 위험성을 낮출 것으로 생각된다. 따라서 아쿠아로빅 운동이 지상에서의 유산소 운동 및 저항 운동을 대체할 수 있는 유용한 운동이라 할 수 있다.
