The purpose of this study is to identify the effect of a 12-week dance sports exercise on the body composition and serum lipid of obese middle-aged women. Concerning the research subjects, the study selected a total of 14 obese middle-aged women, composed of 7 women in an experimental group and 7 women in a comparison group.
The study had the experimental group carry out the dance sports program for 12 weeks, three times a week, and measured their body composition (weight, BMI, %body fat, and WHR), and serum lipid (TC, TG, HDL-C, and LDL-C) before and after the 12-week program.
First, Exercise Program on Body Composition of the Dance Sport Dance Sport after 12 weeks when the change in the group within a group, there were statistically significant differences in weight (p<.01), BMI (p<.05), %body fat (p<.01), and WHR (p<.05), whereas there was no statistically significant difference in the intergroup comparison (p>.05).
Second, Lipid the conduct dance sports on the program after 12 weeks of dance groups from sports groups to change when TC (p>.05) showed no statistically significant difference, whereas there were statistically significant differences in TG (p<.05), HDL-C (p<.001), and LDL-C (p<.05).
In the intergroup comparison, there were no statistically significant differences in TC and HDL-C however (p>.05), there were statistically significant differences both in TG and LDL-C after the 12-week exercise (p<.05).
In summarizing these results, the dance sports exercise program exhibited a positive effect on the change of body composition and serum lipid. Accordingly, it is deemed necessary to make improvement through consistent and steady exercise for the change of the ingredients of body composition and serum lipid, which are related to various lifestyle diseases and cardiovascular disease in adults.
