The purpose of this study was to propose a effective exercise program. Thus, we investigated the effect of Indoor and Combination Exercise Program.
All subjects(mean age = 21.5), inactive people, devided into 3 groups; 1) Control Gruop. 2) Indoor Exercise Group(n=15) exercised whole body stretching, push-up, sit-up and jumping on sitting 5 times per week for 10 weeks indoor. 3) Combination Exercise Group(n=18) exercised running at 12 Km/hour(mean 70% VO_2 max) 3 times per week and whole body stretching. push-up, sit-up and jumping on sitting 5 times per week as Indoor Exercise Group for 10 weeks. All subjects executed the same diet during the experimental period.
Felxible, balance, agility, power, grip strength, back strength, muscle endurance and cardiopulmonary endurance were selected as variables of physical fitness. Further, %body fat was tested by Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis.
Results were presented as mean±SD using paired T-test and statistical significance set at p>0.05 was treated as trends.
The result follow as:
First, in Control Group(CG), there was not any significance on physical fitness variables 10 weeks later.
Second, in Indoor Exercise Group(IEG), flexible, grip strength, back strength, muscle endurance and body fat were significantly changed 10 weeks later(P<0.05).
Third, in Combination Exercise Group(CEG), flexible, balance, power, grip strength, back strength, muscle endurance, body fat and cardiopulmonary endurance were significantly changed 10 weeks later(P<0.05).
In conclusion, only Indoor Exercise Program without exercise equipment might have positive effect on improving physical fitness. However, the combination Exercise Program or running and indoor exercise was strongly effective on improving both the health related fitness and the skill related fitness.
