혈청 콜레스테롤과 중성지방이 고지혈증의 경계치이상인 60대의 고령여성을 대상으로 8주간 유산소운동(1회 40분, 주3회, %HRmax의 50%)이 심폐기능, 혈청지질 및 아포지단백에 미치는 영향을 연구하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 8주간의 유산소운동은 최대산소섭취량, 체중당최대산소섭취량을 증가시켜 심폐기능을 향상시킨 것으로 나타났고, 혈청 총콜레스테롤의 유의(p<.001)한 감소와 중성지방, LDL-C, Apo B가 유의(p<.05)하게 감소한 것으로 나타났으며, HDL-C, Apo A-Ⅰ이 유의(p<.05)하게 증가되어 혈청지질이 개선된 것으로 나타났다. 이상과 같이 유산소운동은 혈청콜레스테롤과 중성지방이 고지혈증의 경계치 수준에 있는 고령여성의 심폐기능을 향상시킬 뿐만아니라 항동맥경화인자인 HDL-C, Apo A-Ⅰ을 증가시키고, 동맥경화인자인LDL-C, Apo B를 감소시켜서 심혈관질환을 예방할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of aerobic exercise on hyperlipidemia. Subjects were composed of fourteen hyperlipidemia elderly women. Aerobic training was performed 40minutes per day, 3days per week at 50%HRmax during 8weeks. Paired t-test was used to evaluate the difference of baseline and after 8 weeks aerobic exercise. The 0.05 level of significance was as critical level for the study. The results of this study are as follow; 1. VO₂max, VO₂max and VO₂max/ LBM were significantly increased in aerobic exercise group. 2. T-C, TG, LDL-C, Apo B were significantly decreased and HDL-C was significantly in aerobic exercise group. 3. Apo A-Ⅰ was significantly increased and Apo B was significantly decreased in aerobic exercise group. In conclusion, T-C, TG, LDL-C, Apo B were decreased, and HDL-C, Apo A-Ⅰ were increased in aerobic exercise. So it is maybe thought that aerobic exercise will prevent cardiac ventricular disease.
