The purpose of this study was to find out the effects of different combinations of exercises on changes in body circumference and leptin levels by testing 13 obese female college students with over 30% of body fat rate for 8 weeks. The 13 experimental subjects were divided into two groups, A(40 minutes of aerobic exercise and 20 minutes of anaerobic exercise) and B(20 minutes of aerobic exercise and 40 minutes of anaerobic exercise), each consisting of 6 and 7 subjects, respectively. The aerobic exercise was specified by walking on the treadmill with the HRmax intensity of 70%, while the anaerobic exercise was conducted by nine types of resistive exercises each repeated 15~20 times with a 1RM intensity of 60~65%. As a result, subjects in group A showed decrease in circumferences of chest, arm, waist, and hip but not a statistically significant difference. The thigh circumference, however showed a decrease of 8.60% and was significantly different (p<.001). In the case of group B, the decrease in all parts of the body with the exception of chest circumference was significantly different: there was a 7.52% decrease in arm circumference (p<.01), 3.37% decrease in waist (p<.01), 1.75% decrease in hip (p<.05), and 10.51% decrease in thigh circumference (p<.001). Also, the 9.95% reduction of the subcutaneous fat in the sub scapula showed a statistically significant difference (p<.05). However, the difference in the change of body size between the two groups failed to show statistically significant difference. In the other hand, the difference in the change of leptin levels between the two groups was shown a statistically significant difference due to a 49.96% decrease in group B (p<.05). 본 연구는 체지방률 30%이상인 비만 여대생 13명을 대상으로 A그룹 6명(유산소운동 40분, 무산소운동 20분), B그룹 7명(유산소운동 20분, 무산소운동 40분)으로 분류하여 8주 동안 복합운동 형태를 다르게 실시함으로 나타나는 신체둘레의 변화와 leptin농도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 하는데 목적을 두었다. 유산소운동은 트레드밀에서 HRmax70%의 강도로 걷기를 실시하였으며, 무산소운동은 근저항운동으로 1RM의 60~65%강도와 15~20회 반복횟수를 적용하여 9종목을 실시하였다. 그 결과 A그룹의 경우 가슴둘레, 팔 둘레, 허리둘레, 엉덩이둘레에서 둘레의 감소는 보였지만 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았고 다리둘레에서 8.60% 감소하여 유의한(p<0.01) 차이를 보였다. B그룹의 경우 가슴둘레를 제외한 팔 둘레 7.52%(p<.01), 허리둘레 3.37%(p<01), 엉덩이둘레 1.75%(p<.05), 다리둘레 10.51%(p<.001), 또한 피하지방에서 견갑하골 9.95%(p<.05)감소하여 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 두 집단 간에는 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. leptin의 경우 B그룹에서 49.96%(p<.05)감소하여 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타났다.

최영 한국체육대학교 2017 국내석사

본 연구에서는 사상체질별 미혼남녀를 대상으로 8주간의 근력운동을 실시한 후 신체구성, 신체둘레, 등속성 근력의 변화를 분석하여 사상체질별로 효과적인 운동프로그램 개발의 기초 자료를 제공하기 위하여 시행되었다. 체질분류는 QSCCⅡ를 이용하였으며, 태양인의 희소성으로 인해 태양인을 제외한 태음인 집단 7명, 소양인 집단 7명, 소음인 집단 7명씩 배정하여 총 21명으로 진행하였다. 근력운동프로그램은 상지와 하지에 초점을 두었으며, 주3회 1시간씩 총 8주를 진행하였다. 사전 사후의 차이를 알아보기 위하여 Window용 SPSS/PC 21.0 통계프로그램을 이용하여 기술 통계치(mean, SD)를 산출하였으며, 집단 간 및 시기 간의 신체구성, 신체부위별 둘레, 팔꿈치 관절과 무릎 관절의 등속성 근력의 차 이를 확인하기 위해 반복측정에 의한 이원변량분석(Two-way ANOVA with repeated measures)을 실시하였다. 모든 통계적 유의 수준은 ⍺=.05로 설정하였다. 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 신체구성에서 체지방율은 태음인이, 제지방률은 소양인이 높았으나 사상체질별로 시기 간, 집단 간, 집단 간 및 시기 간의 상호작용효과에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 2. 신체둘레는 가슴둘레와 상완둘레 및 대퇴둘레 모두 태음인이 가장 높았다. 차이 확인 결과, 가슴둘레에서 태음인 집단이 집단 내 시기 간에 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었으나(p<.05), 상완둘레에서는 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 또한 대퇴둘레에서는 집단 내 시기 간에 따라 태음인과 소음인 집단에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타났다(p<.01, p<.001). 3. 무릎 근력의 변화는 집단 내 시기 간에 60°/sec에서 최대우력 차이를 확인한 결과 8주간의 저항운동 전·후 간에 굴곡과 신전에서 소양인 집단이 유의한 차이를 나타냈으며(p<.05), 180°/sec에서 굴곡에서 소양인과 소음인 집단이(p<.05, p<.01), 신전에서 소양인 집단이 유의한 차이를 나타냈다(p<.01). 또 300°/sec에서 굴곡과 신전의 총 일량 차이를 확인한 결과 소양인과 소음인 집단에서 유의한 차이가 나타났고(p<.05, p<.05), 신전에서는 소양인 집단이 유의한 차이가 나타났다(p<.05). 4. 팔꿈치 근력의 변화는 집단 내 시기 간에 60°/sec에서 굴곡의 최대우력 차이를 확인한 결과 8주간의 저항운동 전·후 간에 소양인 집단이 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 나타냈고(p<.01), 180°/sec에서는 소양인 집단이 유의한 차이를 나타냈다(p<.01). 이 연구결과를 종합해 보면, 사상체질에 따라 신체구성, 신체둘레, 근력이 다름은 물론 저항운동에 대한 변화 또한 다르게 나타난다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 일반인들과 운동선수들도 다른 종목의 운동을 할 때는 물론 같은 종목이라도 체질에 따라 훈련방법이나 연습의 패턴유형을 달리하여 각 개인에 맞는 운동을 할 때 그 효과는 극대화 될 수 있을 것이다. 하지만 이 연구에서는 태양인이 없고 연구대상 인원수가 적었으며 참여 연령층이 한정되어 있고 저항운동프로그램에 중급자만을 평가하는 제한점이 있었으므로, 본 연구를 일반화하기 위해서는 향후 네 체질이 모두 참여한 다양한 연령층과 운동 수준의 참가자를 대상으로 하는 후속연구들이 이루어져야 할 것이다. Study on the muscular strength changes of upper limbs and lower limbs by resistance training for 8 weeks according to Sasang constitution Young, Choi Graduate School Korea National Sport University Jae Keun, Oh(Advisor) The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in body composition, body circumference, and isokinetic strength by performing 8-weeks muscle strength exercises for unmarried men and women by Sasang constitution. Due to the scarcity of Taeyangin, 7 Taeumins, 7 Soyangins, and 7 Soeumins were participated in the exercise except for Taeyangin. Strength training programs focused on upper extremity and lower extremity, and were conducted for 8 hours a week for one hour three times a week. The mean statistical value (mean, SD) was calculated by the SPSS/PC 21.0 statistical program for Window to determine the difference between pre and post test. Two-way ANOVA with repeated measures was used to confirm statistical significance between groups, between times and also the interactive effect between group and time. All significance level of the statistical significance was set to ⍺=.05. The results of the study are as follows. 1. The change in body composition did not show statistically significant differences in body weight, body fat percentage and fat mass by Sasang constitution. 2 The change in the body circumference were found in Taeumin group to be statistically significant difference(p<.05) according to the time in the groups as confirming the chest circumference, the arm circumference, and the femoral circumference by Sasang constitution. There was no statistically significant difference in the arm circumference. There was a statistically significant difference in Taeumin and Soleumin groups in the femur circumference(p<.01, p<.001) according to the time in the groups. 3. The change of knee strength was statistically significant(p<.05) in Soyangin group in flexion and extension as confirming the difference of maximum power of flexion at 60°/sec according the time in the groups by Sasang constitution. There was a statistically significant difference in Soyangin and Soeumin groups in flexion as confirming the difference of peak torque at 180°/sec according the time in the groups by Sasang constitution. There was a statistically significant difference in Soyangin group in extension(p<.01). The change was statistically significant(p<.05) in Soyangin and Soeumin groups in flexion at 300°/sec as confirming the difference of total amount of work according the time in the groups by Sasang constitution. There was a statistically significant difference in Soyangin group in extension(p<.05). 4. The change of elbow strength was found in Soyangin group to be statistically significant(p<.01, p<.01) as confirming the difference of peak torque at 60°/sec and 180°/sec according the time in the groups by Sasang constitution. In conclusion, this results suggest that there are different body composition, body circumference and isokinetic strength by Sasang constitution, and also the changes of body composition, body circumference and isokinetic strength according to 8 weeks resistance training are different from each Sasang constitution. But it is difficult to generalize this study due to the limitation of few subjects, lack of control of diet and inconsistency of experimental measurement time. Therefore, further and more additional and complementary studies are needed and quantification work will be conducted in the future.

김영선 가톨릭관동대학교 대학원 2017 국내석사

The purpose of this study was to identify the change in the girth of anthropometric variables during menstrual cycle, and to provide basal data for health promotion program development during pre-menstrual phase and menstrual phase. Participants were 10 healthy women university students without menstrual irregularity, subjective premenstrual syndrome, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, dymenorrhea, obstetrician and gynecologic disease. Chest girth(axillary and papillary), waist girth(half point between iliac crest and 12th rib, and navel), and hip girth were repeatedly measured in menstrual phase, follicular phase, luteal phase during single menstrual cycle. As a result, axillary chest girth in menstrual phase was significantly increased than that in luteal phase. Papillary chest girth and waist girth at half point between iliac crest and 12th rib in menstrual phase were significantly increased than those in follicular phase. No significance was shown in chest and waist girth between follicular and luteal phase. No significance was shown in hip girth during menstrual cycle. In conclusion, signicant difference was shown in chest and waist girth during menstrual cycle. And it is suggested that succeeding research should be carried out with reference to body weight, body fat, blood and local hormone concentration during menstrual cycle.

분만종류에 따른 고령 산후 여성의 저항성 운동이 신체구성, 신체둘레 및 기초체력에 미치는 영향

송민경 고려대학교 의용과학대학원 2024 국내석사

Background: In 2013, the average age of Korean women giving birth to their first child was 30.7 years, meaning South Korea has the ‘oldest average for first-time mothers’ among OECD countries (Statistics Korea, 2014). The reason for the increase in the age at first birth can be attributed to the increase in the age at first marriage. The range of age increase appeared to be similar to prior years, but the age of first marriage actually increased by about two years from 27.3 in 2003 to 29.8 in 2014. The average age for first-time mothers also increased by about two years from 28.6 in 2003 to 30.9 in 2014. According to the number of cesarean section deliveries by age announced by the National Health Insurance Corporation in 2012, the number of cesarean section deliveries for those in their 30s or older is increasing every year. In particular, the average annual increase in the number of cesarean section deliveries starting in the late 30s was found to be extremely high, 25.9%. Compared to natural childbirth, such cesarean section delivery poses greater risks to the fetus and mother, and excessive social costs are incurred as well. As modern medicine has developed, cesarean section has been implemented as a solution for women who are exposed to pain and the risk of death due to a difficult birth. However, since no procedure is perfect, cesarean section delivery can cause numerous side effects. Compared to natural childbirth, cesarean section delivery is reported to have a much higher maternal mortality rate and perinatal morbidity due to complications such as infection, bleeding, and anesthesia. Many previous studies have already shown that the maternal mortality rate of cesarean section delivery is approximately 2 to 4 times higher than that of natural delivery and that various complications resulting from cesarean section delivery are 5 to 10 times higher than those found with natural delivery. For this reason, the WHO also believes that the caesarean section delivery rate compared to all deliveries should not exceed 5-15% when considering current medical technology. However, in Korea, the caesarean section delivery rate increased from 18.1% in 1990 to 40.5% in 2001, but has shown a slight decline since then. Methods: The initial number of study subjects was 30, but 2 subjects exited the study due to personal reasons, so the final number of subjects included in the study was 28. For data processing, the following techniques were applied to each dependent variable using SPSS 28.0, The significance level was verified at p<0.05. First, Descriptive analysis was performed to determine the average and standard deviation of each item. Second, The normality test of the study variables was confirmed by Shapiro-wilk. In addition, parameter statistical analysis and nonparametric statistical analysis were performed together for items that did not satisfy normality. Third, In order to verify the change before and after the resistance movement between groups, it was analyzed using the paired T-test method. Fourth, A pre- and post-independent T-test was conducted to see the difference between the groups. Results: In this study, postpartum resistance exercise was performed by mothers who gave birth. Group A, who had a natural birth, showed significant differences in the right arm, left arm, abdomen, waist, buttocks, and right leg. Group B, which had a cesarean section, showed significant differences in the right arm, left arm, abdomen, waist, buttocks, and left leg. In other words, the results indicate that postpartum resistance exercise has the effect of reducing body circumference regardless of the period. Previous studies have shown that cesarean section delivery is more effective than natural childbirth in terms of body fat percentage. However, in this study, however, the natural childbirth group showed greater changes in body composition, body circumference, and basic physical strength. The results of this study are as follows. First, postpartum resistance exercise was shown to have an effect on the mother's body composition, body circumference, and basic physical strength. Second, the natural childbirth group showed relatively superior body composition, body circumference, and basic physical strength. Third, it was found that there was no difference between the method of childbirth with respect to body composition, body circumference, and basic physical strength when performing resistance exercise. Conclusions: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of resistance exercise on body composition, body circumference, and basic physical strength of advanced maternal-age women by having them perform resistance exercise for 4 weeks. By analyzing the effects of postpartum resistance exercise according to the method of childbirth, the effects of natural childbirth and cesarean section birth were compared and analyzed to determine the effect on mothers depending on the method of childbirth. A postpartum resistance exercise program was implemented for mothers, and a comparative analysis was conducted on the effects on those mothers depending on the method of childbirth. Based on the results, this study has the following suggestions. First, there is a need for future research with more subjects over a longer term. Second, in future research, it is necessary to classify the number of months from the childbirth date and the postpartum period according to the delivery method and ascertain whether there are any differences between exercise programs. Through this, we will be able to provide more diverse and efficient exercise programs to postpartum mothers.

스파 관리가 여성의 체형변화에 미치는 영향

전소현 건국대학교 2004 국내석사

한글초록: 본 연구는 최근에 이슈가 된 웰빙(Well-being)과 함께 에스테틱 업계의 많은 방향 전환을 가져온 스파(Spa) 관리가 여성의 체형 변화에 어떠한 영향을 미치는 지를 알아보기 위하여 시행되었다. 서울 시내 A피부 관리실을 이용하는 여성고객 8명을 실험 대상자로 선정하여 스파 관리 방법을 충분히 설명한 후, 대상자의 BMI, 체중, 체지방, 신체 둘레를 측정한 후 8주간 스파 관리를 실행하였다. 8주 후 대상자의 BMI, 체중, 체지방, 신체둘레를 측정한 결과, 유의한 차이를 보임으로 인해 스파 관리가 여성의 체형 관리에 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 실험 후 시행한 설문조사 결과, 스파 관리 후 체형 변화에 대해 만족하고 있다는 것을 뒷받침해주고 있다. 따라서 스파 관리를 피부 관리실내에서 대상자를 늘려 연구 데이터를 근거로 체형 관리에 활용을 했으면 한다. 스파 관리 후 더 나은 상승 효과를 위해 대체 의학으로 열거된 아로마 테라피, 스톤 테라피, 딸라소 테라피 등을 병행한다면 더욱 더 좋은 결과가 나올 것으로 사료된다 영문초록:This research looks into the slimming effect related to each part of women's body. The slimming effect particularly depends on the spa treatment, which is a turnaround for aesthetic businesses with the current well-being trend. In U.S.A,Europe,and Southeast Asia, the type of spas which have been developed from the western bath culture, is various. Focusing on the disease treatment and relaxing effect, this research impedes the type of the spa treatment, the current American style Day-spa, from developing into a high class cultural image in Kore an skin care salons and encourages the spa treatment for esthetic effect. According to the quality of water, spa treatment takes effect, and it results in effects on blood circulation, perspiration, muscles, and massage. Before the spa treatment, one should know any disorders of the body, hypertension and diabetes because the temperature, timing and treatment of the spa water is applied differently. 8 customers of A skin care salon in Seoul were chosen as testers, and they fully understood the spa treatment. Circumference of each part of their body, their weight and their body fat ratio were measured. Then they participated in the spa treatment. After 8 weeks of the treatment, their weight, body fat raio, and circumference of each part of their body were measured again. The spa treatment took effect on slimming related to each part of their body. Compared with weight loss, circumference of their body, especially, circumference of their calf showed statistically significant difference. The result of questionnaires indicates that many people are contented with the slimming effect after the spa treatment. Therefore, it is recommendable that more spa treatment is made full use of for the slimming care in many skin care salons. To take synergetic effect, if the spa treatment goes side by side with alternative medication such as aroma therapy and stone therapy, and other mechanical care, better effect is expected

김재익 고신대학교 대학원 2008 국내석사

배경 및 목적: 한국인을 대상으로 한 대사증후군의 위험도와 신체계측지수 간의 관련성에 대한 연구는 부족한 실정이므로 본 연구에서는 대사증후군과 체질량지수(body mass index, BMI), 허리둘레, 허리둘레와 키의 비(waist-to-height ratio, W/Ht), 허리둘레와 엉덩이의 비 (waist-to-hip ratio, WHR) 간의 관련성을 확인하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 고신대학교 복음병원에서 2004년 12월에서 2006년 12월 사이에 건강진단을 받은 수진자 가운데 본 연구에 참여하기를 동의하였던 2299명을 조사 대상으로 하였다. 대상자들의 BMI, 허리둘레, W/Ht, WHR을 측정하여 대사증후군의 구성요소인 수축기 혈압과 이완기 혈압, 공복 혈당, HDL 콜레스테롤, 중성지방과의 관련성을 확인하였다. 결과: 남자의 경우 허리둘레가 수축기 혈압(r=0.264, p<0.01), HDL 콜레스테롤(r=-0.254, p<0.01), 중성지방(r=0.241, p<0.01) 등의 3가지에서 상관계수가 가장 높았고, W/Ht는 이완기 혈압(r=0.232, p<0.01)에서만, WHR은 공복 혈당(r=0.112, p<0.01)에서만 가장 높은 상관계수를 나타내었다. 여자에서는 허리둘레가 수축기 혈압(r=0.268, p<0.01), 이완기 혈압(r=0.233, p<0.01), 공복 혈당(r=0.157, p<0.01)에서 가장 높은 상관계수를 나타내었고, W/Ht는 중성지방(r=0.179, p<0.01)과 WHR은 HDL 콜레스테롤(r=-0.202, p<0.01)과의 상관계수가 가장 높았다. 대사증후군 구성 질환의 신체계측지수에 따른 교차비는 남자에서는 고혈압이 W/Ht와, 고혈당이 BMI와, 저 HDL 콜레스테롤과 고중성지방은 허리둘레와 가장 관련이 있었으며, 여자에서는 고혈압이 W/Ht와, 고혈당이 BMI와 W/Ht와, 저 HDL 콜레스테롤과 고중성지방은 WHR과 가장 연관성이 있었다. 결론: 고혈압, 고혈당, 저 HDL 콜레스테롤, 고중성지방과 BMI, 허리둘레, W/Ht, WHR 간의 연관성을 분석한 결과 허리둘레와 W/Ht가 대사증후군 관련 질환을 가장 잘 반영하고 있었으므로 대사증후군의 스크리닝 도구로 사용하기에 가장 적절할 것으로 판단된다. Background and Objectives: Until now, few studies have been conducted in order to determine the correlation of metabolic risk factors with simple anthropometric measurements in Korean population. The purpose of this study was to determine the association between some anthropometric measurements and components of metabolic syndrome. Methods: A total of 2299 healthy examinees who were examined in Kosin University Gospel Hospital from December 2004 to December 2006 were enrolled in this study. Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-height ratio (W/Ht), and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) of subjects were measured to identify blood pressure, fasting glucose, HDL cholesterol and triglyceride. Results: In men, WC showed closest correlations with systolic blood pressure (r=0.264, p<0.01), HDL cholesterol (r=-0.254, p<0.01), and triglyceride (r=0.241, p<0.01) than other anthropometric measures. W/Ht was closest correlation with diastolic blood pressure (r=0.232, p<0.01), and WHR showed closest correlation with fasting glucose (r=0.112, p<0.01) in men. In women, WC showed closest clorrelations with systolic (r=0.268, p<0.01) and diastolic blood pressure (r=0.233, p<0.01) and fasting glucose (r=0.157, p<0.01), and W/Ht and WHR showed closest correlations with HDL cholesterol (r=-0.202, p<0.01), and triglyceride (r=0.179, p<0.01), respective y. The odds ratio of each anthropometric measurements showed that W/Ht had strongest associations with hypertension in both sex and hyperglycemia (women only). BMI had strongest relationship with hyperglycermia in both sex. While WC had a strong association with low HDL cholesterol and hypertriglyceridemia in men, in women WHR had a strong association with low HDL cholesterol and hypertriglyceridermia. Conclusion: WC and W/Ht may be the most effective anthropometric indicies for screening Korean people for metabolic syndrome.

4주간의 고강도 인터벌 계단 오르기 운동이 20-30대 과체중 및 비만 여성의 심폐체력, 신체구성 및 혈압에 미치는 영향

윤정은 경희대학교 대학원 2023 국내석사

본 연구의 목적은 4주간의 고강도 인터벌 계단 오르기 운동이 20-30대 과체중 및 비만 여성의 심폐체력, 신체구성 및 혈압에 미치는 영향을 규명하고자 하였다. 총 26명의 20-30대 과체중 및 비만 여성이 대상자로 참여하였으며, stair climbing group(SC) 13명과 control group(CON) 13명으로 무작위 배정되었다. SC는 4주간, 주중 연구원의 감독 아래 5회의 대면 계단 오르기 운동을 실시하였고, 주말에 개인적으로 2회의 계단 오르기 운동을 실시하였다. 운동은 회기당 준비운동 3분, 3번의 bout(계단 오르기 스프린트 20초 + 활동성 회복 2분)으로 총 10분씩 계단 오르기 운동을 실시하였으며, CON의 대상자는 평소의 생활습관 및 식습관을 그대로 유지하도록 하였다. 4주간의 중재 후 결측값이 없는 최종 25명을 대상으로 통계 분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구의 모든 통계분석은 SPSS PC+ 26.0 version으로 실시하였으며, 두 집단에서 얻은 종속변인의 기술통계량을 제시하기 위해 평균(mean)과 표준편차(standard deviation: SD)를 산출하였다. 두 집단 간 변인의 평균 차이를 검증하기 위하여 독립표본 t-검증(independent t-test)을 실시하였고, 집단 내 사전 사후의 평균 차이를 검증하기 위해 대응표본 t-검증(paired t-test)을 실시하였다. 두 집단 간, 그리고 두 시기 간 평균의 차이를 동시에 분석하기 위하여 반복이원변량분석(Two-way repeated measures ANOVA)을 실시하였다. 모든 통계분석의 유의수준은 0.05로 설정하였다. 4주간의 고강도 계단 오르기 운동처치 후 SC의 심폐체력이 31.6 ± 2.5 ml/kg/min에서 34.9 ± 2.6 ml/kg/min으로 10%의 증가한 반면, CON의 심폐체력은 비슷한 수준을 유지하였다(29.5 ± 4.7 to 29.0 ± 4.5 ml/kg/min). SC의 BMI(24.8 ± 1.2 to 24.4 ± 1.1 kg/m²) 체중(66.5 ± 4.6 to 65.2 ± 4.6 kg), 허리둘레(91.9 ± 4.0 to 91.7 ± 3.7 cm)에서 통계적으로 유의한 감소가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, CON은 BMI, 체중, 허리둘레 모두에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 이와 같은 결과를 종합해 보면 4주간의 고강도 계단 오르기 운동이 과체중 및 비만인 20-30대 여성의 심폐체력의 향상과 BMI, 체중, 허리둘레 감소에 긍정적인 영향을 준다는 것으로 결론지을 수 있다. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a brief intense stair climbing on cardiorespiratory fitness, body composition and blood pressure in women with overweight and obesity. Twenty-six women aged 20 – 30 years old with overweight or obesity were randomly assigned to stair climbing group (SC) and control group (CON). SC group participated in stair climbing exercise for a total of 10 minutes a day, 7 days a week (5 days supervised, 2 unsupervised) for 4 weeks. The exercise program consist of 3 minutes of warm-up, 3 bouts of 20 seconds of stair climbing sprint with 2 minutes of active recovery. CON group was asked to maintain their usual lifestyle during the intervention period. Body composition, blood pressure, and cardiorespiratory fitness were measred at pre- and post-tests. All data from this study except for missing values were described as the mean and standard deviation (SD). Two-way repeated measures ANOVAs were applied to analyze interaction effects between group and time. If any significant interaction effects were observed, independent t-tests or paired t-test were utilized to verify between or within the group differences. The significance level was set to 0.05. After 4 weeks of high-intensity stair-climbing exercise, the cardiorespiratory fitness of SC increased by 10% from 31.6 ± 2.5 ml/kg/min to 34.9 ± 2.6 ml/kg/min, while the CON was the same (29.5 ± 4.7 to 29.0 ± 4.5 ml/kg/min). There was a statistically significant change in BMI (24.8 ± 1.2 to 24.4 ± 1.1 kg/m), weight (66.5 ± 4.6 to 65.2 ± 4.6 kg) and waist circumference (91.9 ± 4.0 to 91.7 cm to 3.7 cm) in SC and no statistically significant difference in CON. In sum, it can be concluded that high-intensity stair climbing for 4 weeks has a positive effect on improving cardiorespiratory fitness and reducing BMI, weight, and waist circumference for women with overweight and obese in their 20s and 30s.
