Abstract |
This study was performed to review the effect of treadmill exercise and sports massage on the change of serum lipids and autonomic nerve system targeting 24 overweight female college students who have BMI more than 25 kg/m2. They were divided into three groups of eight members; Only treadmill exercise group(TG), treadmill exercise with sports massage group(TSG), and control group(CG). The exercises were performed 20 times and the result is as following; The change of HDL-C significantly increased after the experiment compared with before the exercise: TSG(p<.01) and TG(p<.05). The change of TC also significantly decreased after the experiment compared with before the exercise: TSG(p<.001) and TG(p<.05). The result of one-way ANOVA among the three groups is as following; HDL-C in the TSG(p<.01) and TG(p<.05) significantly increased compared with CG and TC also significantly decreased. The change of SN also significantly decreased after the experiment both in the supine; TSG(p<.001), TG(p<.01) and in the upright; TSG(p<.01), TG(p<.05) compared with before the experiment. The change of PSN also significantly increased after the experiment both in the supine and in the upright position; TSG(p<.001), TG(p<.01) compared with before the experiment. The result of one-way ANOVA among the three groups is as following; TSG and TG significantly increased(p<.05) after the experiment both in the supine and in the upright position compared with CG. There is little change in the CG after all the varied experiments compared with before the experiment. Accoring to the result of the study. it is considered that the exercise and the exercise along with the sport massage will be a good method of obesity care and the prevention of cadiovascular disease by improving the state of blood lipid and autonomic nerveous system. |
