This study aims to identify the effect of resistance exercise program on physical strength and risks of cardiovascular diseases targeting 25 elderly people with light disability living in a county. The exercise program consisted of Thera-band exercise which is frequently used for rehabilitation and was given to the subjects for 50 minutes and four time of each week for 12 weeks. To analyse the physical strength of daily living, the study selected items appropriate for the study out of measuring items involving activities of daily living(ADL) and Senior Fitness Test(SFT). The results of the pre-test and post-test were compared and the results are summarized as follows: First, there was a statistically significant difference in muscular volume in respect to physical composition. Second, in respect to physical strength of daily living, there was a statistically significant difference in sitting on and rising from chair, lifting dumbbel, 10m walking, single leg stance with eyes open, and pagboard. Third, in respect to risk factors of cardiovascular diseases, there was a statistically significant difference in HDL-C. To sum up the results above, resistance exercise using Thera-band had no effect on risk factors of cardiovascular diseases, enhanced physical strength of daily living can work as a circulatory chain in increasing activities of the elderly with disabilities and give the same effect as aerobic exercise in long-term prospect. Therefore, it is suggested that it has a positive effect on decrease of risk factors of cardiovascular diseases.
