The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of circuit training on the indexes of sarcopenia and the risk factors of metabolic syndrome in aged obese women. To address the goal, this author selected aged women whose body mass index was higher than 25.0 kg/m2 visiting the welfare center for the aged located in Gangwon-do Province and measured the indexes of sarcopenia and the risk factors of metabolic syndrome after circuit training. Through that, this study has gained following results. First, after circuit training, aged obese women’s indexes of sarcopenia indicated statistically significant difference in terms of interaction between the measuring times and groups. Second, after circuit training, aged obese women’s risk factors of metabolic syndrome (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, fasting blood sugar, triglycerides, high- density lipoprotein-cholesterol, and waist circumference) showed statistically significant difference in terms of interaction between the measuring times and groups. To sum up the above results, circuit training improves aged obese women’s indexes of sarcopenia and risk factors of metabolic syndrome positively, which means circuit training is found to be effective. Therefore, the circuit training intervention enhances aged obese women’s muscular and metabolic functions positively. As it helps prevent and manage the risk factors of sarcopenia and metabolic syndrome resulted from aging, it will elevate life quality in senescence.
