This study analyzed the effect on the indicators of metabolic syndrome by conducting Pilates exercise for 8 weeks for obese middle-aged women and provided the basic data necessary to construct an effective exercise program for obese middle-aged women exposed to various diseases. The purpose of this study was to find a method that can be utilized as one of useful programs that can be generalized in the actual field. The study subjects consisted of the obese middle-aged women''s exercise group (8 people) and the control group (8 people) who participated in the Pilates exercise for the first time, and consisted of 50 minutes 3 times a week for 8 weeks, and the results were as follows. In the change in body composition, body weight did not show a statistically significant change in all items in the exercise group and the control group, and the body fat percentage and body mass index showed a significant decrease in the exercise group, showing a statistically significant difference. In the change of blood pressure, systolic blood pressure did not show statistically significant change in all groups of exercise group and control group, and diastolic blood pressure showed statistically significant change in pre-measurement between the two groups. The waist circumference showed a statistically significant difference as the result decreased in the exercise group, and there was no significant change in the comparison between the two groups. Changes in HDL-C showed statistically significant differences with increased results in the exercise group, and no significant change in comparison between the two groups. TG showed a decreased result in both groups, but only a statistically significant difference was found in the control group, and a significant change in the post-measurement was also made in the comparison between the two groups. Fasting blood glucose showed a statistically significant difference, showing a decreased result in the exercise group, and the control group maintained the result at an appropriate level. There was no statistically significant difference in the comparison between the two groups.
Taken together, regular props Pilates exercise reduces body fat percentage and body mass index, so you can see changes in body shape. As can be seen from blood pressure, waist circumference, HDL-C, and fasting blood sugar, the effect of improving and maintaining metabolic syndrome factors was seen. As such, regular Pilates exercise can be recommended as one of the exercise programs for health promotion, and it is thought that it can improve health through continuous Pilates program development in the future.
