The purpose of this study is to examine the effects on health-related physical fitness and blood lipid by conducting a music jump rope program with obese high school girls over 30% body fat for 12 weeks and the following results were obtained.
1. For changes in health-related physical fitness, the music jump rope group showed a significant difference in weight(p<.05), percent body fat(p<.001), muscular strength(p<.01), endurance(p<.001), flexibility(p<.001), and cardiovascular endurance(p<.05). The control group showed no significant difference.
2. For blood lipid changes, the music jump rope group showed a significant difference in total cholesterol(p<.01), triglyceride(p<.001), HDL-cholesterol(p<.05), and LDL-cholesterol(p<.001). The control group showed no significant difference.
For obese high school girls, aerobic exercise programs such as a jump rope were effective to decrease weight and percent body fat and also reduce risk of cardiovascular disease. A decrease and increase in blood lipid associated with a music jump rope program had positive effects on solving obesity and preventing lifestyle disease in obese high school girls. Further study should develop exercise programs for obese high school girls who lack in physical activity because of difficult exercise time to take regular exercise during in school.
