Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of combined exercise on body composition and cardiovascular disease risk factors in sarcopenic obesity elderly women. The subjects for the study were 21 obesity elderly women over 65 years old . They were divided into two groups, the sarcopenic obesity group(n=9) and non-sarcopenic obesity group(n=12). The variables of body composition and cardiovascular fitness were measured in all the subjects before and after 16-week combined exercise. All data was analyzed by two-way ANOVA with repeated measures, and paired t-test by using SPSS 18.0. The findings of this study were as follows; 1. Effects on body composition The relationship between sarcopenia and body composition were only significant for the group ${\times}$ time interaction in FFM. In the sarcopenic obesity elderly women, % body fat significantly decreased and sarcopenia reduced by 30%, but there were no significant changes in the FFM and ASM. On the other hand, the non-sarcopenic obesity elderly women significantly decreased % body fat and significantly increased FFM and ASM. 2. Effects on cardiovascular fitness Both groups significantly increased V˙ O2peak. The most important finding in this study was that sarcopenic obesity elderly women showed delayed effects of a 16-week combined exercise on FFM and ASM compared to the non-sarcopenic obesity elderly women. However, the further studies might need to confirm these results with both genders, different age groups, and various exercise types.

고령기의 생활을 위협하는 비만 여성고령자를 대상으로 sarcopenia 동반에 따른 16주간의 운동중재가 신체조성 및 심폐체력에 미치는 변화를 알아보기 위한 실험이다. 비만 여성고령자를 sarcopenia 동반유무에 따라 sarcopenic obestiy group(SOG)과 non-sarcopenic obesity group(NOG)으로 나누어 16주간, 주 3회, 50-60분간 복합운동 실시 후 신체조성 및 심폐체력에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 신체조성의 경우 시기와 그룹간 상호작용효과는 fat free mass(FFM)에서만 나타났으며, 운동 전 후의 변화에서는 SOG의 경우 % body fat은 감소하였고, FFM과 ASM에서는 차이가 없었다. NOG의 경우 %body fat은 감소하였으며, FFM과 ASM에서는 증가하였다. 심폐체력에서는 두 그룹 모두 $\dot{V}O2peak$가 증가하였다. 따라서, sarcopenic obesity 여성고령자가 non-sarcopenic obesity 여성고령자에 비해 근육량(FFM, ASM)에서 운동효과가 지연되는 것을 발견할 수 있었다.
