The purpose of this study was to verify the effectiveness of a resistance exercise program that included intermittent fasting on healthy fitness. Specifically, the purpose of this study is to present an effective lifestyle diet therapy through a comparative analysis of a diet of only intermittent fasting and a complex diet of intermittent fasting and resistance exercise.
For this study, 30 women in their 20s and 40s who belong to the Women's Baseball Team H located in B City were selected. Selected women were distributed by radio allocation. It consists of an experimental group (n=10) that performs intermittent fasting and resistance exercise simultaneously, a comparison group that performs only intermittent fasting (n=10), and a control group (n=10) that performs only daily life.
The measured data was group by group analyzed by dividing the pre- and post-results and retention. For data processing, the average and standard deviation of each variable were calculated using the Windows SPSS 25.0 statistical program. The homogeneity test between groups was conducted by One-Way ANOVA, for intermittent fasting and resistance exercise effect test, paired samples t-test were conducted. The significance level of statistics was treated as a=.05 to obtain the following results.
1) It showed positive results on the health of women in the experimental group who performed intermittent fasting and resistance exercise simultaneously. In order to obtain more positive effects of muscular strength, flexibility, and endurance through resistance exercise, post study considering the number of samples, exercise intensity, and duration is considered necessary.
2) Among the health fitness factors of the women in the comparison group who performed only intermittent fasting, it showed positive results on waist circumference and flexibility. If post-study is conducted by increasing the intermittent fasting time and duration, it is expected that the body fat percentage and BMI index will have positive results.
3) Intermittent fasting and resistance exercise performance was excluded, and among the health fitness factors among women in the control group, muscle endurance was relatively high in individual differences in groups, resulting in unexpected results. There were no significant differences in body fat percentage, BMI index, waist circumference, strength and flexibility.
4) Health fitness among the groups changed in the order of experimental group>comparison group>control group.
To put the above results together, it was found that the resistance exercise combined with the intermittent fasting had a much positive effect on improving and maintaining health. It is thought that it can be presented as the basic data of effective life diet therapy.
