Because obese people have the characteristic of physical inactivity, they need to be exercised on the basis of cumulative overload. Therefore, the protocol should include low intensity of flexible exercise which can be applicable easily to obese people. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of stretching exercise. Obese middle- aged women participated in this study consisting of stretching exercise group(N=23) and control group(N=27). They were subjected to 36 weeks stretching exercise three times a week, weight, BMI(Body Mass Index), body fat, WHR (Waist-Hip Ratio), SBP(Systemic Blood Pressure), DBP(Diastolic Blood Pressure), RHR(Resting Heart Rate), glucose, TC (Total Cholesterol), HDL(High Density Lipoprotein) and TG(Triglyceride) were investigated. There were significant differences between two groups in weight(p<0.001), BMI(p<0.001), body fat(p<0.001), WHR(p<0.001), SBP(p=0.015), DBP (p=0.003), RHR(p=0.046), glucose(p<0.001), TC(p=0.049), HDL(p=0.001) and TG(p<0.001). These findings suggest that stretching exercise could be considered adequate form of exercise for the purpose of obesity treatment.
