This study conducted a 12-week Taekwondo Poomsae Training with twenty-six old obese women of 65 . We over(exercise group 13, control group 13) and compared and analyzed its effects on body composition, hs-CRP, TNF-α and Adiponectin. Finally, the following results were obtained. First, after the application of the Taekwondo Poomsae Training to the exercise group, old obese women had a significant decrease in body composition(weight, p<.001 and % body fat, p<.001), suggesting a positive result. Second, after the application of the Taekwondo We suggest Poomsae Training to the exercise group, old obese women had positive results in hs-CRP(p<.001), TNF-α(p<.01) and adiponectin(p<.001). Based on this results, the Taekwondo Poomsae Training might be effective to reduce weight and % body fat to prevent metabolic syndrome in old obese women. In particular, it proves itself a useful exercise program to reduce a TNF-α level which is initial inflammation markers of blood vessel and a risk of onset of cardiovascular diseases. Furthermore, weight loss after the Taekwondo Poomsae Training led to increased adiponectin, which suggests its possibility to inhibit inflammatory manifestation in obese patients.
