This study purposed to examine the effects of dance sports and swimming on the lumbar vertebrae, femoral neck, serum lipids and ％fat of 15 women at the menopause who did not have exercise regularly and voluntarily participated in the research, For the experiment, the subjects were divided into a dance group, a swimming and a control group, each of which had five members, From the results of the experiment were drawn conclusions as follows. 1. The lumbar vertebrae and femoral neck appeared to increase more in the dance group and the swimming group than in the control group, but the increase was statistically significantly only in the dance group. 2. As for serum lipids, TG was significantly different in the dance sports group at significance level of p＜.05 and in swimming group at p＜.01, TC and LDL-C was significantly different in the dance sports group and the swimming group at significance level of p＜.05. HDL-C was different in both dance group and swimming group at significance level of p＜.01. 3. As for ％fat, statistically significant changes were observed in both dance group and swimming group. Accordingly, it is concluded that long-term application of exercise programs as well as weight bearing exercise and strength training are effective for the positive change of bone mineral density in women at the menopause and that steady and regular exercise may prevent cardiovascular diseases and various kinds of physical loss occurring since menopause.
