BOSU Ball을 활용한 다이어트 프로그램이 중년여성의 신체조성 및 균형감각에 미치는 영향

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate how the BOSU Ball exercise, which can develop core muscles in middle-aged women, affects body composition and sense of balance. The study subjects were middle-aged women, consisting of 8 exercise groups and 8 control groups, and the middle-aged women performed BOSU Ball exercise for a total of 8 weeks, and the following conclusions could be drawn. In the change of body composition, the result of body weight decreased in the exercise group, showing a statistically significant change, and also in the control group, showing a significant change. The result of body fat percentage decreased in the exercise group, showing a statistically significant difference. Among the sense of balance, both eyes-opening unipedal standing and closed-eyed unipedal standing using the toe-gu showed an increase in the post- than pre-measurement in the exercise group.

Summarizing the above, the BOSU Ball exercise was found to have a positive effect on body composition and sense of balance in middle-aged women. If this type of exercise to strengthen core muscles is continuously performed for a long period of time, it is possible to prevent musculoskeletal disorders that are frequently present in society in advance, and in the long term, it will be possible to live a healthy life in old age.
