The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of hypoxia training on blood cell components and lipid profiles in elderly. Subjects were eighteen healthy elderly people who were over 65 years, members of seniors tower at Song-do hospital and didn’t have any history in cardiovascular disease. The hypoxia exercise program for experimental group consisted of a 10-minute warm-up, 40-minute workout(30-minute bicycle ergometer with 50%VO2max and 10-minute weight training), and 10-minute cool down. Exercise frequency was 5days/a week and duration was 4weeks. Weight training was performed 15 times(15RM) by 2sets using the Leg extension, Leg curl, Chest press, Biceps curl, Lat pull down and Sit-up with machine. The results of this study were as follows; First, there were significant difference in RBC, Hemoglobin and Hematocrit between experimental and control group after hypoxia exercise. Experimental group increased significantly after hypoxia training, whereas control group was unchanged. At 4weeks after completion of experiment, Experimental groups had a high level more than control group. Second, there were significant difference in TC, LDL-C, TG between experimental and control group after hypoxia training. and Experimental group increased significantly after training, whereas control group was unchanged. At 4weeks after completion of experiment, experimental group had a high level more than control group. But there was no significant difference in HDL-C between experimental and control group after exercise. As a result, active hypoxia training is more efficient and safety method to improve blood cell components and lipid profiles concerning preventing heart disease and improving aerobic capacity in elderly.
