다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of an 8-week swimming exercise program on body composition, blood lipids, and lower extremity muscular endurance in overweight women. Swimming exercise program was conducted for overweight women (n=10) for 60 minutes a day, 8 weeks, 3 times a week. Body composition, blood lipid and lower extremity muscle endurance were analyzed to verify the effect of 8 weeks of swimming exercise program. First, as a result of body composition analysis, body weight, body fat mass, and body fat percentage were significantly reduced. Second, there were significant differences in HDL Cholesterol, LDL Cholesterol, and Triglyceride among blood lipids. Third, the muscle endurance of the right and left lower extremities showed a significant difference in the flexor and extensor muscles. In conclusion, the 8-week swimming exercise program can be seen as an exercise suitable for weight loss, blood lipid improvement, and lower extremity muscular endurance for overweight women.
