Abstract

Background : The necessity for conducting this study lies not only in identifying the effect of the combined exercise program, for which the resistance exercise and the aerobic exercise are combined together, on the body composition and the physical fitness of middle-aged women, but also in providing the data needed for the health maintenance and promotion.

Objectives : The objectives of this study are to analyze the effect of the combined exercise on the body composition and the physical fitness of middle-aged women and to provide scientific and objective verification data on its effectiveness.

Methodology : The subjects of this study have been taken to be the 20 selected persons of middle-aged women who have no experience of taking resistance exercise without having any habit of regular exercise, as selected from among those who were. as members of the health center. utilizing the I fitness center in the Metropolitan City of U. Measurements for this study have been carried out twice for both the body composition and the basal physical fitness before starting the exercise as well as after taking the 12-week long exercise.

Results : The results obtained from this study are given as in the following:

1. Body Composition

1) In view of the change in the body weight, that of the individuals in the experimental group has decreased after the exercise being taken showing a significant difference (p< .05), whereas that of the individuals in the comparative group has increased after the exercise being taken. Between groups, no significant difference has been shown.

2) In view of the change in the fat-free mass, that of the individuals in the experimental group has increased after the exercise being taken but without showing any significant difference, whereas that of the individuals in the comparative group has decreased after the exercise being taken. Between groups, no significant difference has been shown.

3) In view of the change in the body fat mass, that of the individuals in the experimental group has decreased after the exercise being taken showing a significant difference (p< .01), whereas that of the individuals in the comparative group has increased after the exercise being taken. Between groups, no significant difference has been shown.

4) In view of the change in the body fat percentage, that of the individuals in the experimental group has decreased after the exercise being taken showing a significant difference (p< .01), whereas that of the individuals in the comparative group has increased after the exercise being taken. Between groups, no significant difference has been shown.

2. Physical Fitness

1) In view of the change in the muscular strength, that of the individuals in the experimental group has increased after the exercise being taken showing a significant difference (p< .001), while that of the individuals in the comparative group has also increased after the exercise being taken showing a significant difference (p< .01). Between groups, a significant difference (p< .01) has been shown after the exercise being taken.

2) In view of the change in the muscular endurance, that of the individuals in the experimental group has increased after the exercise being taken showing a significant difference (p< .001), while that of the individuals in the comparative group has also increased after the exercise being taken but without showing a significant difference. Between groups, a significant difference (p< .05) has been shown after the exercise being taken.

3) In view of the change in the flexibility, that of the individuals in the experimental group has increased after the exercise being taken showing a significant difference (p< .001), while that of the individuals in the comparative group has also increased after the exercise being taken but without showing a significant difference. Between groups, no significant difference has been shown.

4) In view of the change in the balancing ability, that of the individuals in the experimental group has increased after the exercise bing taken showing a significant difference (p< .05), while that of the individuals in the comparative group has also increased after the exercise being taken but without showing a significant difference. Between groups, no significant difference has been shown.

5) In view of the change in the quickness of body, that of the individuals in the experimental group has increased after the exercise being taken showing a significant difference (p< .001), while that of the individuals in the comparative group has also increased after the exercise being taken but without showing a significant difference. Between groups, no significant difference has been shown.
