The purpose of this study was to investigate the change of related factors in cardiovascular function variables after long duration regular exercise programs. The subjects of this study were 40 older man and women residing Seoul-Seniors-Tower. All of subjects divided to four groups, exercise group 20(man =10, women =10) was participating in an exercise program for 3 years, and the other group or non-exercise group 20(man =10, women =10; was not in that program. In the results, Changes of cardiovascular function were significantly improved in peak oxygen uptake, ventilation, rest blood pressure of cardiovascular function variables in male or female exercise groups after 3 years´ exercise program. Also, we have been known to the facts that although the cardiopulmonary variables of men are superior to those of women, if being exercised for a long time, the women´s cardiopulmonary variables(e.g. Endurance time, HR_(rest), SBP_(rest), SBP_(max), DBP_(rest), RPP_(rest), and RPP_(max)) would not different from those of the men especially in old ages.
As a conclusion, we could know that not only the regular exercise might increase or change almost the cardiovascular function variables except for VO_(2max) Ventilation, and HR_(max) of elderly people, but also the sex´s differences were vanished in endurance time, HR_(rest), SBP_(rest), SBP_(max), DBP_(rest), RPP_(rest), and RPP_(max) between males and females. Therefore, we might tell that exercise programs could provide an excellent parameters for enforcing or keeping the cardiovascular functions of elderly people.
