The purpose of this study was to present an exercise prescription for prevention of the metabolic syndrome and promotion of health in elderly females having metabolic troubles through a nutritional education and (prescription of) a combined exercise (intensity). The Subjects in this experiment were 72 elderly females from an obesity center within C public health center in Seoul, and they were divided into two groups. The experimental group was organized by 40 people who agreed and wanted to participate in a nutritional education and a combined exercise, and the control group was organized by 32 people who didn’t. The experimental group showed significant differences in weight, body mass index(BMI), body fat percentage, and belly(p<0.05) when compared with the control group. There were differences in TC(p<0.05), HDLC(p<0.05), LDLC(p<0.001), TG (c<0.05), SBP(p<0.01), and DBP(p<0.05) between the control group and the experimental group. In conclusion, a combined exercise program improves body composition, serum lipid, and factors affecting blood pressure in elderly women, and performing 60 minutes of exercise 4 times per week at the intensity of 40∼60%HRmax is effective for metabolic syndrome.
