This study conducted 12-week exercise with 202 obese middle-aged women participating in aerobic exercise events according to somatotype classification such as jogging, aerobics, and swimming in order to examine their effects on health-related physical fitness and changes in blood components and provide basic information for middle-aged women's health. The following conclusion was drawn. 1. For the comparison of health-related physical fitness between aerobic exercise events by somatotype classification, BMI decreased the most for ectomorph and endomorph in jogging and for mesomorph in swimming, endurance increased for ectomorph and endomorph in swimming and for mesomorph in jogging, flexibility increased the most for all somatotypes in swimming, and cardiovascular endurance increased the most for ectomorph and mesomorph in jogging but for endomorph in aerobics. 2. For the comparison of blood components between aerobic exercise events by somatotype classification, TG decreased the most for all somatotypes in swimming, TC decreased the most for all somatotypes in jogging, HDL-C increased the most for ectomorph and mesomorph in jogging but for endomorph in aerobics, and LDL-C decreased the most for ectomorph and endomorph in swimming and for mesomorph in jogging. To summarize these results, aerobic exercise such as jogging, aerobics, and swimming increased obese middle-aged women's health-related physical fitness and effectively decreased blood lipids(TC, TG, and LDL-C) but HDL-C. Moreover aerobic exercise was positively associated with effective changes in physical fitness and blood components in all somatotypes.
