The purpose of this study is to investigated the association between cardiorespiratory fitness, inflammation marker(WBC) and metabolic syndrome factors and the effects of WBC, cardiorespiratory fitness, and metabolic syndrome risk factors after 12 weeks exercise training. The subjects were 116 postmenopausal women(56.09±4.71yrs) participated in this study. Cardiorepitatory fitness were negatively correlated with BMI(r=-.503, p<.001), WC(r=-.592, p<.001), systolic blood pressure(r=-.307, p<.05), diastolic blood press(r=-.506, p<.001), HDL-C(r=-.429, p<.001, TG(r=-.336, p<.01), fasting glucose levels(r=-.369, p<.01) and WBC(r=-.278, p<.05). The high levels of cardiorespratory fitness were associated with the lower risk of metabolic syndrome. Additionally, the risk for clustered metabolic syndrome risk factors including BMI, WC, SBP, DBP, TG, FBG, and Mets was increased along with increasing WBC counts(p<.01). Furthermore, following 12weeks aerobic exercise, the metabolic syndrome risk factors significantly decreased. Therefore, this results suggested that regular exercise and up-regulated cardiorespiratory fitness decreased the inflammatory index(WBC) and metabolic syndrome.
