This study performed to compare the body composition, bone mineral density and non specificity exercise effect following to the types of exercise program. Exercise program were divided to three types as aerobic-dance, health exercise, and general women.
The subjects recruited for this study were 45 middle-aged women composed of 15 aerobics-dancers and 15 health exercisers who participated in regular exercise more than 1~2 years, and 15 non-exercisers.
The subjects were methods in some variables influencing body composition and femoral bone mineral density by DTX-200. Non specificity exercise effect a survey instrument modified by the researcher and based on the Psychological Well-being index.
The statistical methods utilized in this study were one way ANOVA and Sheffe test was used. The .05 level was in established in significance.
The findings of this study were as follow;
1. In the characteristics of body compositions, health group was significantly lower than non-exercise group in body weight, total body fat, % fat and body mass index and lower than aerobic-dance group. Not significantly different among three groups in lean body mass.
2. In the femoral bone density, aerobic-dance and health groups were not significantly different among three groups in non-exercise group, and not different at all regions in non-exercise group between dominant and non-dominant formula.
3. In the characteristics of non specificity exercise effect, aerobic-dance group was significantly higher than health group and non-exercise group in the body, mind, nerves.
