This study has found the following results after analyzing the effects of super circuit weight training and circuit training on body composition and candiorespiratory functions before and after training. 20 female subjects were selected from "J" health center in Seoul and divided into 2 groups for super circuit weight training(G-1) and circuit training(G-2). The subjects participated in 12 week training program. 1. Comparison on body composition before and after training Body weight significantly decreased in both groups while Lean body mass increased in both groups without significance. % Fat and fat weight decreased significantly in both groups. The decrease rate and increase rate of body weight, % fat, fat weight, and lean body mass was higher in the super circuit weight training group(G-1) than circuit weight training group(G-2). 2. Comparison on blood pressure before and after training both groups showed significant decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure. But the decrease rate was higher in super circuit weight training group (G-1) than circuit weight training group(G-2). 3. Comparison on cardiorespiratory function before and after training Resting heart rate was significantly decreased in both groups with the decrease rate higher in the super circuit weight training group(G-1) than circuit weight training group(G-2). Signifcant increase of VO2 max was assessed in both groups and the increase rate of VO max was higher in Super circuit weight training group(G-1) than circuit weight training group(G-2). According to the results from the study significant changes to body composition, blood pressure and cardiorespiratory functions were assessed in both groups after training. Based on the findings above, where super circuit weight training group was found to be more effective, we'd recommand super circuit weight training program for effective weight reduction and improvement of cardiorespiratory functions.
