| Abstract |
This study was to analyse the effects in middle-aged women's abdominal obesity in body composition and visceral fat surface by conducting 4 weeks of combined exercise with and without the functional taping that applied caffeine. The results are as follow. 1. There were significant differences (p < .01) by each time in weight and waist circumference for each group's before and after exercise for body composition. The changes of weight and waist circumference with functional taping that applied caffeine group showed significant differences (p < .01) before and after the exercise. 2. There were significant differences (p < .05) by each time in abdominal fat surface and visceral fat surface for each group's before and after exercise for abdominal visceral fat surface. The changes of visceral fat surface with functional taping that applied caffeine group showed significant differences (p < .01) before and after exercise. As a result, 4 weeks of combined exercise that includes 90 minutes for each day, 3 days per week with functional taping that applied caffeine were partially effected positively in middle-aged women's abdominal obesity, but it showed increase compared to group without functional taping that applied caffeine and defaulted group. Therefore, the functional taping that applied caffeine showed positive effects in a preventive way to keep health from metabolic risk factors for women who are abdominal obese, and furthermore it need to measure the subsequent changes by conducting an exercise program with functional taping that applied caffeine for long-term. And, a study which is examining the effects when conducting various exercise intensity, exercise method and etc. with functional taping that applied caffeine also need to be measure. |
