| Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to compared the changes of iron status criterion parameters according to aerobic exercise on menstrual cycle for female university students. The subjects consisted of Group(n=20) that blood measured before and after the exercise for menstrual phase and luteal phase. Group A(n=10) was exercise 3 times a week and Group B was no exercise group. Aerobic exercise was performed for 2-days(menstrual and luteal phase) and exercise intensity was 60% of HRmax. Exercise was performed during 40min. Iron was statistically changed on luteal phase in groups(p<.05) and no statistically changed on menstrual phase in groups(p<.05). After exercise menstrual phase was lower than luteal phase in Group B. Hemoglobin and hematocrit were group A higher than group B. After exercise, luteal phase higher than menstrual phase. Hemoglobin and hematocrit were statistically changed groups on menstrual phase. But no statistically changed on menstrual phase in groups(p<.05). TIBC was no statistically changed on menstrual phase and luteal phase in groups(p<.05). Therefore, regular aerobic exercise effects of iron status criterion parameters on menstrual cycle. |
