The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of aerobic exercise on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and Dehydroepiandro sterone (DHEAs) in middle-aged women for 12 weeks. The subjects were 30 middle-aged women in their 40s and 50s who had no physical history. The aerobic exercise group(EG, n=15) and the control group(CG, n=15) were divided into groups and the aerobic exercise using treadmill was conducted for 12 weeks. The experimental results showed that BDNF and DHEAs after aerobic exercise for 12 weeks showed significant differences before and after aerobic exercise group(p<.001)(p<.01). As a result of the analysis of variance by group and time factor, there was a significant difference in the time(p<.01)(p<.05), and there was a significant difference in the interaction effect between the group and the time(p<.01)(p<.01) and there was a significant difference between the groups(p<.001)(p<.01). In conclusion, it is considered that the regular moderate-intensity aerobic exercise of middle-aged women can promote BDNF and DHEAs.
