This study was conducted to investigate the effects of long-term Hapkido exercise on general characteristics, ROM(range of motion) and blood profiles of male university students. The subjects were divided into control group(CG, n=8) and Hapkido exercise group(HG, n=8). Hapkido exercise was conducted 60min/day, 4days/week for more than 3 years. The participants was evaluated body composition, muscle strength and range of motion of each articulation including cervical, spine and hip. In addition, the whole blood was collected at fasting state for determining blood profiles. In body composition, %fat(p<.05) was significant difference between two groups. In addition, blood glucose and HDLC(p<.05) were significant difference between two groups. In the left grip strength(p<.05), HG appeared significantly higher than compared to CG ,and in the reaction time, HG was significantly faster than that of CG group. In the ROM of cervical vertebrae, the range of flexion(p<.01), Lt. side bending(p<.05) and Rt. side bending(p<.01). Rt. rotation(p<.05) was significantly higher value by Hapkido exercise of a long term. In the ROM of lumbar vertebrae, the range of Rt. side bending(p<.01), Lt. side bending(p<.05), Rt. rotation(p<.01), Lt. rotation(p<.05) was significantly higher value by long-term Hapkido exercise. In the ROM of hip joint, the range of Lt. extension(p<.05), Rt. flexion(p<.01), Lt. flexion(p<.05), both adduction(p<.01) and abduction(p<.01), Lt. external rotation(p<.05) was also significantly higher value by long-term Hapkido exercise. In the ROM of carpal joint the range of Rt. extension(p<.05), flexion(p<.01), Lt. extension(p<.01), flexion(p<.05), both unlnar deviation(p<.01), was significantly higher value by long-term Hapkido exercise. In the ROM of ankle joint, the range of Rt. plantar flexion(p<.05), both dorsi flexion(p<.01) was also significantly higher value by Hapkido exercise of a long term. From these results, it was suggested that long-term Hapkido exercise have a crucial role for not only improvement of blood glucose and HDLC but also improvement of flexibility of whole body.
