스포츠클라이밍이 비만 중년여성들의 건강관련체력 및 심박변이도에 미치는 영향

Abstract

This study conducted sports climbing for 12 weeks to examine the effects on health-related physical fitness and heart rate variability(HRV) in obese middle-aged women. Obese middle-aged women(45~55 years old) residing in the J area were selected. The exercise program was done 120 minutes per day, three times per week for 12 weeks at 60~80 HRmax. After comparison and analysis, the following conclusions were drawn. First, for the change of health-related physical fitness after the sports climbing, the exercise group showed significant differences in weight(p<.001), body fat percentage(p<.001), muscle strength(p<.001), endurance(p<.001), flexibility(p<.001), and cardiovascular endurance(p<.001) Second, for the change of HRV after the sports climbing, the exercise group showed significant differences in TP(p<.001), LFlog(p<.001), HFlog(p<.001), and LF/HF(p<.001). Based on the results, sports climbing that combines aerobic and anaerobic exercise is very useful for the body of obese middle-aged women. It had a positive effect on body composition, which could decrease body fat, improve health-related physical fitness, balance HRV, and prevent obesity and cardiovascular diseases. However, sports climbing has different exercise effects according to skill. Therefore, it will be effective to regularly conduct exercise with the high degree of difficulty.
