Effects of Dance Sport Program on the Change of Body Composition, Blood Lipid and Leptin in Middle-Aged Obese Women

This study conducted a 12-week dance sport program three times a week in middle-aged obese women in order to examine its effects on the change of body composition, blood lipid, leptin and provide the women with basic materials on an exercise prescription for their healthy and happy life. The difference before and after exercise was tested using paired-t test. AVCOVA was used to test the difference in modified mean value by group for the post-test under the control of pre-test. Finally the following results were obtained. 1. The change of blood lipid was found to have a statistically significant difference in total cholesterol and triglyceride(p<.001). There was a statistically significant difference in high density lipoprotein cholesterol(p<.01) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol(p<.05). 2. The change of leptin was found to have a statistically significant difference(p<.01). In conclusion, as a result of conducting the 12-week dance sport program in middle-aged obese women, effective increase and decrease were found in body composition, blood lipid, and letpin. It is considered that middle-aged obese women should participate in active programs such as dance sport program rather than excessive or boring exercises. It is recommended for more effective obesity management program that further study conducts a dance sport program and a dietary cure at the same time.
