Effects of Thera-Band Exercise on Body Shape Improvement and Oxidative Stress in Middle-aged Women

This study was divided into exercise group and control group for middle-aged women and participated in the Thera-Band Exercise program for 8 weeks, and compared before and after exercise to examine how body shape improvement and blood oxidative stress were affected. Statistical analysis was performed using the Window ver. SPSS 22.0 program. For the pre- and post-test of the two groups, the t-test method was used and the independent sample t-test was used to test the difference between the two groups. The statistical significance level of all results was .05. The results and conclusions are as follows. First, in the body shape improvement and the blood oxidative stress difference test, there was a statistically significant difference in the weight loss, body fat percentage and oxidative stress reduction in the exercise group (p<.001, p<.01). There was no statistical difference in the control group. Second, there was no statistically significant difference between pre - and post - body weight, body fat percentage, and blood oxidative stress in body shape improvement and blood oxidative stress difference test between two groups. As shown in the above results, middle-aged women participating in Thera-Band exercise showed positive results in improvement of body shape and blood oxidative stress. As the aging society progresses, middle aged women are prevented from aging fast, I think that it will be able to send a healthy middle age by controlling unnecessary oxidative stress in the human body. Subsequent studies suggest that antioxidant enzyme function may be added to the blood oxidative stress to prevent various diseases before they reach their old age.
