The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 12 weeks treadmill exercise program on plasma Interlukin-6, Vaspin and Glucose Tolerance in obese middle aged women. The subjects for this study were composed of twenty obese middle-aged women. The subjects were classified to two groups; control group(CG, n＝10), exercise group(EG, n＝10). Treadmill exercise was performed 4 times a week at the intensity of 50-65% HRR(1-3 weeks; 50% HRR, 4-6 weeks; 55% HRR, 7-9 weeks; 60% HRR, 10 -12 weeks; 65% HRR). The EG exercised for 12 weeks and were monitored for changes in body composition, plasma Interlukin-6(IL-6), vaspin and glucose tolerance. The results of this study are as follow; Body fat was significantly decreased in EG after 12 weeks of exercise. IL-6 and vaspin were significantly decreased in EG after 12 weeks of exercise. Glucose tolerance were significantly increased in EG after 12 weeks of exercise. In conclusion, the results of this study suggest that treadmill exercise can contribute to the better benefit in IL-6, vaspin and glucose tolerance for obese treatment.
