The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a 12-wk sports-dance activity on obesity and insulin resistance-related markers in postmenopausal women. Subjects were randomly divided into either control group(n=20, mean age 55.0±3.1 years old) or exercise group(n=20, mean age 54.6±4.3 years old) who were invited to participate in a 12-week sports-dance program. All the subjects underwent baseline measurements such as body composition (i..e., height, weight, BMI, BF), VO2max, and blood chemistry(i.e., TC, TG, HDLC, glucose, insulin, leptin, and adiponectin). Group analyses by using two-way RM-ANOVA showed significant time×group interactions in body fatness variables. The exercise group had significant improvements in body weight, BMI, BF, FM, and FFM compared with the control group. We found significant time×group interactions in glucose, HOMA-IR, leptin, and adiponectin. The exercise group had significant improvements in those variables compared with the control group. In conclusion, the current findings of the study suggest that a regular sports-dance activity induces several health benefits such as decreased body fatness and improved insulin resistance profiles in postmenopausal women.
