The purpose of this study was to examined the effect of Tae Kwon Do exercise on the body in middle - aged women. The subject was composed of 14 females in aged 30s and they took prat in 1 hour each day, three days per week for 16weeks. The measure of body composition, blood pressure, physical fitness and W/H ratio were conducted pre, middle and post exercise. The amount of change among pre, middle and post exercise were analyzed by paired t-test at the .05 level of significant.
The results were as follows :
1. Body compostion
1) There was not statistically significant change in weight, %fat, fat volume, lean body mess among pre, middle and post exercise.
2. Blood pressure
1) Systolic blood pressure, Diastolic blood pressure were not statistically significant among pre, middle and post exercise.
2) Blood velocity, Total pheripheral resistant were statistically significant among pre, middle and post exercise.
3. physical fitness
1) Grip strength (left, right) was statistically significant among pre, middle and post exercise.
2) Flexbility was statistically significant among pre, middle and post exercise.
4. Waist/Hip ratio was statistically significant among pre, middle and post exercise.
Body composition, Total pheripheral resistance, Flexbility and Waist/Hip ratio induced decrease from 8weeks after program. Especially Systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were changed after 16weeks. Blood velocity and Grip strength(left, right) were increaseed at 8weeks from exercise.
On the basis of this result it was conculded that Endurance TaeKwon-Do exercise could be a possitive effect on body composition, blood pressure and physical fitness in middle - aged.
