다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to compare and examine the effect of combined exercise on body composition, sarcopenia, inflammatory makers, insulin resistance, and leptin in postmenopausal obese middle-aged women who were divided into the experimental group (n=14) and the control group (n=15) through 12-week program of dance spores and to provide scientific data for prevention of adult diseases. Regarding change of body composition, there were significant differences in weight (p<.05), body fat percentage (p<.05), belly (p<.05), and muscle condition score (p<.05). Regarding changes of insulin resistance and leptin, there were significant differences in reduction of fasting blood sugar (p<.05), insulin (p<.05), and leptin (p<.05). First, to prevent adult diseases, executing combined exercise program was effective for weight, body fat percentage, belly, and muscle condition score in obese middle-aged women. Second, fasting blood sugar, insulin, leptin, and hormones were effectively reduced in obese middle-aged women after dance spores program, and it is considered that there should be more exercise period for inflammatory makers and HOMA-IR. From the above results, there was not a significant difference in inflammatory makers of postmenopausal obese middle-aged women. Thus combined exercise program is considered to be an effective method for improvements of body composition, muscle condition score, fasting blood sugar, insulin, leptin, and hormones.
