Abstract

This study was conducted to examine the effects of a multiple exercise program on body composition, physical fitness, and subcutaneous fat thickness in obese male college students. After a 12-week multiple exercise program was applied, the following results were obtained based on study results.

1. For the changes in healthy-related physical fitness, the exercise group showed statistically significant difference in weight and body fat for body composition(p<.001), whereas the control group did not show significant difference. While the control group showed statistically significant difference in muscle strength(p<.01), muscle endurance(p<.001), flexibility(p<.01), and cardivascular endurance(p<.01), the control group showed significant difference in muscle strength(p<.05), muscle endurance(p<.05), and flexibility(p<.05).

2. For the changes in subcutaneous fat thickness, the control group showed significant difference in triceps brachii(p<.001), subscapula(p<.01), middle of axilla(p<.001), chest(p<.001), abdomen(p<.01), suprailiac(p<.01), quadriceps femoris(p<.01), calf(p<.001), and crook of knee(p<.001). On the other hand, the control group showd no significant difference.

Based on this result, it was found that a multiple exercise program was effective for reducing weight and % body which can prevent metabolic syndrome in obese male college students and became a useful exercise program to reduce onset risk of cardivascular diseases. It is considered that the increase in physical fitness and the reduction of subcutaneous fat thickness was very helpful to recover confidence and self-satisfaction in obese male college students. If an aquarobics program which does not overstrain joints and a dietary cure is conducted together with obese male college students in further study, its effectiveness of exercise program will be proved.
