The purpose of this study was to evaluate a changes anthropometric variables, body composition, maximal muscle strength(IRM) and serum lipids and lipoprotein concentration following time course of eight week weight training program in adult men and women
The results and conclusion of this paper is as follows.
1.Eight skinfold thickness in men and women, respectively was not shown a significant difference followed training time course, but in the difference between group, men was shown a significantly high levels(p<.05, respectively) in body weight compared to women. However, Chest(2wks; p<.05, 4wks p<.01, 8wks; p<.05,) and thigh thickness(2wks, 4wks and 8wks; p<.05, respectively) of women was display a significantly high levels compared to men, but it was not significant difference in tricep, mid-axillary, sub- scapular, abdomen, suprailiac and sum of eight skinfold thickness between both group.
2. The body circumference in men and women, respectively was not significant difference followed training time course. In the difference between both group, upper arm and gluteal circumference was not shown a significant difference, but forearm(0wks; p<.05, 2wks; p<.05,4wks;p<.05 and 8wks; p<.01), vast(0, 2, 4wks and 8wks; p<.05,respectively), thigh(8wks; p<.05) waist(0, 4wks and 8wks; p<.05, respectively),calf(0, 2wks and 8wks p<.05, respectively) and sum of seven circumference(0, 2wks and 8wks; p<.05, respectively) was shown a significantly high levels in men compared to women.
3.Percent fat and fat mass was not significant difference between pre and post training, and between men and women. However, Fat free mass(pre; p<.05, post; p<.01) and total body water(pre; p<.05, post; p<.01) was significant difference between men and women, but it was not between pre and post training.
4. The changes of one repetition maximum following eight week weight training was significantly increased levels only squat(p<.05) of men, but no significant difference in the other variables. Also, in the difference between group, the changes of maximal muscle strength was shown a significantly high levels in men compared to women.
5. In the men, serum TC, HDL-C, LDL-C and TG concentration was not significant difference between pre and post training, but it was shown a significantly decreased levels in TC(p<.01) and LDL-C(p<.05) between pre and post training of women, Also, In the difference between men women, no significant difference in HDL-C, LDL-C and TG concentration, but TC(p<.01) concentration in post training was significantly low levels in women compared to men.
