The objective of this study was to suggest a more effective exercise method to age-related hormones and cardiopulmonary function of obese middle-aged women by defining a more effective exercise method with application of yoga, aerobic exercise, and gymstick to such women and observation of tendency change attributable to exercise stoppage by having four-week of detraining period. The research subjects are 27 obese middle-aged women with over 30% of body fat measured who are member of B women group in P Metropolitan City and they are categorized into 3 groups of 9 members for yoga, aerobic exercise, and gymstick respectively. O2max, FVC, growth hormones, DHEA-S, and melatonin were measured and data was treated by two-way ANOVA with repeated measure. As for research outcome, VO2max did not have a meaningful difference; and FVC significantly increased in those groups for yoga and gymstick after exercise and significantly decreased after stopping exercise for 4 weeks after from pre-exercise. As for the difference between after-exercise and after 4 week exercise stoppage, it significantly increased only in the gymstick group after 4 week exercise stoppage. GH significantly increased in the gymstick group after exercise; significantly decreases after 4 week exercise stoppage; and sustained the increasing momentum with a meaningful difference between before exercise and after 4 week exercise stoppage. DHEA-S significantly increased in yoga and gymstick groups after exercise and significantly decreased in the period between after-exercise and after 4 week exercise stoppage. Melatonin did not show a meaningful difference.
