By adopting various exercise programs to abdominal obese middle aged women with two kind calorie consumption at every other two weeks intervals, this study intends to investigate changes in body strength factor and blood variables closely related to cardiovascular system and then to provide obese persons and the public with basic data for energy consumption exercise. Middle aged women (40 ~ 50 years old) were selected as subjects. The 27 subjects consist of circuit exercise group (n=9), interval exercise group (n=9) and circuit + interval exercise group (n=9). With respect to data processing, two-way repeated ANOVA was conducted in order to find out differences between groups and interaction. Significance level of every case was α= .05 and following are results; 1) As for change in body strength factor, muscular strength (right) and muscular endurance showed significant change between groups. As for weight, there was significant change per period and between groups. 2) As for change in blood variables of TG, glucose, HDL-C, LDL-C, there was not significant change per period and between groups at all. According to the above results, it is believed that circuit exercise had improvement of muscular strength rather than cardiovascular risk while circuit + interval exercise has influence over both body strength and blood variables. It is also believed that we have to perform a research for application through establishment of diverse energy consumption criteria.
