The purpose of this study was to basic data on the influences that 4week resistive exercise program has on body composition, arterial stiffness, bone density and muscle strength based on an experiment administered on female college students at the age of early 20s. A resistive exercise program has been established and conducted on 8 female college students on 12 separated sessions for 4 weeks. (The students attended a ‘S’ Women’s University located in Seoul) Pre- and post-experiment examination was administered to keep track of the subjects’ body composition, arterial stiffness, bone density and isokinetic muscle function. As to data analysis, SPSS 19.0ver has been utilized to extract average(M) and standard deviation(SD). The changes in data from pre- and post-examination has been analyzed through paired sample t-test to draw following conclusions: The 4week resistive exercise program demonstrated a statistic significance by affecting body composition (Body Weight, Fat Mass, Body Fat Percentage, Waist-Hip Ratio) (p<.05, p<.01), arterial stiffness (Rb-aPWV, Lb-aPWV) (p<.01), isokinetic muscle function (p<.05, p<.01). With all the conclusions described above into account, it has been identified that the 4week resistive exercise program had a positive impact on body composition, arterial stiffness and isokinetic muscular strength. Based on the ultimate conclusion, this paper urges an initiative to develop and distribute basic and scientific resistive exercise programs that can help female college students to prevent osteoporosis and minimize on the risk of arteriosclerosis, bone density.
