다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study conducted an aquatic exercise program with obese women with intellectual disabilities for 12 weeks to examine its effects on body composition, blood lipid, and adiponectin. The results were as follows.

Second, for the change in blood lipid, the aquatic exercise group showed a decrease in TC, TG, and LDL and an increase in HDL, suggesting a positive effect.
Third, for the change in adiponectin, the aquatic exercise group showed an increase in adiponectin, suggesting a positive effect.
Based on the results, it was found that an aquatic exercise program was effective to decrease weight and body fat and useful to reduce cardiovascular diseases risk in obese women with intellectual disabilities who can be more apt to be obese because of limited physical activity and social participation and reckless dietary habits. The program also demonstrated its positive effects to prevent obesity, cardiovascular diseases, lifestyle diseases by decreasing or increasing blood lipid in obese women with intellectual disabilities. The effects of exercise can become higher when neighbor people’s active concerns and support are given, not only by exercise itself. Further study should develop useful programs for people with intellectual disabilities, develop professional coaches, and provide institutional support for easy participation in exercise of people with intellectual disabilities. It will greatly help them enjoy exercise and undergo mental therapy.
