INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study was designed to determine the effects of 12 weeks aerobic exercise training on metabolic syndrome risk factors, C-reactive protein and homocysteine in middle-aged women.
METHOD: Twenty-four middle-aged women with metabolic syndrome volunteered in this study. The subjects of each middle-aged women with metabolic syndrome were randomly divided into exercise group (n=12) and control group (n=12). Exercise group participated in the aerobic exercise training program for 12 weeks (3 days a week) consisting of aerobic exercise (60-70% HRmax, 50 minutes a day).
RESULT: After 12 weeks of exercise training, body weight, BMI, percent of body fat, waist circumference, TC, TG, LDL-C, diastolic blood pressure, fasting insulin, fasting glucose, HOMA-IR, CRP and homocysteine levels were significantly decreased in exercise group. HDL-C was significantly increased and metabolic syndrome risk factor number were significantly decreased after exercise training in exercise group. Also, △homocysteine was a significant positive correlation with △insulin. △CRP levels was a significant positive correlation with △BMI, △TC, △LDL-C. In terms of the correlation between △insulin was positive correlation with △homocysteine with 42.1 percent of influence. △BMI also showed positive correlation with △CRP with 73.2 percent of influence.
CONCLUSION: These findings indicate that the aerobic exercise program was effective to prevent metabolic syndrome risk factors, CRP and homocysteine levels and the prevention of metabolic syndrome.
