| Abstract |
This study is to examine influences of aerobic exercise training to blood component, cardiorespiratory function, and vascular compliance of the mental retardation men. The target of this study is composed of total 2 groups, 10 in controlled group, 10 in aerobic exercise training program. Aerobic exercise training program was conducted in HRmax 50% for week 1-2, HRmax 60% for week 3-5, and HRmax 70% for week 6-8, and conducted five times a week in 50 minutes during total 8 weeks. For pre and post differences verification of each group, paired ttest was conducted. The significance level for hypothesis testing was set as α=.05. The results of this study are as follows. First, Aerobic exercise training group, Total cholesterol, Triglyceride and LDL-cholesterol showed signigicant decreases in posttest compared pretest, and HDL-cholesterol showed significant increases only in posttest compared pretest. Second, in aerobic exercise training group, maximum oxygen uptake, maximum heart rate, and maximum ventilation showed significant increases in posttest compared to pretest. Third, in aerobic exercise training group, artery pulse wave showed significant increases in posttest compared to pretest, SBP showed significant increases compared to pretest. In conclusion, the participation in 8 weeks of aerobic exercise program turned out to be effective for the purification of blood and for the functional betterment of blood vessel and the circulation of blood in mental retardation men. |
