To identify the effects of free style aerobic exercises on the change of body fat and cholesterol which is thought to cause geriatric diseases, 60 women(20 teens, 20 twenties, and 20 over thrities) were take part in this aerobic exercise program as volunteers. Exercise program were consisted with the frequency of 3days exercise per a week, with the duration of 40 min.'s exercise time, with 60 to 80% of max.HR intensity, and with the variable sports types(basketball, volley ball, badminton, and other ball-games which chosen by subjects), during 16 weeks(160 days). Body fat by BLA method and Cholesterol by blood chemical analysis were conducted to the subjects before and after this program.
The results from the analyzed data are follows:
1. Total Cholesterol and LDL Cholesterol of Serum after conduct the Aerobic exercise program were decreased by 7.4% in teens', 9.0% in twenties', and 4.5% in over thirties' compared with pre-test, with the statistical significant differencies. This means that the Aerobic program with free mode is effective for the blood component which represent geriatric disease.
2. Content of Serum HDL Cholesterol increased by 9.8% in twenties' and 2.2% in over thirties' compared with pre-test, with the statistical significant differencies. Therefore, this program is very good for the improvement of blood vessel system.
3. Body fat after conduct this program were decreased by 7.4%, 9.0, and 4.5% in each group compared with pre-test, while LBM increased by 2.6%, 0.6%, and 4.5% in each group without statistical differency. This means that whatever exercise mode with aerobic intensity will give very good effect to decrease body fat.
4. Serum Triglyceride(TG) were decreased by 44.6%, 10.0%, and 7.5% in each group after this program. This means that the Aerobic program with free mode is effective for decreasing blood TG, especially.
5. Body fat is correlated with LDL cholesterol, specially Thus, the volume of body fat may be used to estimate LDL cholesterol volume.
