This study was to investigate the effect of music rope jumping exercise on Health-related physical
fitness and metabolic syndrome risk factors in middle-aged obese women. Among the 15 subjects,
this study is divided into two groups: the music rope jumping exercise group (n=8) and the control
group (n=7). The exercise group performed a 60-minute music rope jumping exercise program 3 times
a week for 12 weeks. The control group only performed their regular daily activities. Physical strength
and metabolic syndrome risk factors were measured twice, before and after the program. The study
conducted repeated measure ANOVA to verify the difference between the groups and the length of
program, paired t-test and independent t-test to verify the significant. The level of significance was
set at ɑ=.05 for all hypotheses. As a result of this study, the two groups showed significant
differences in body weight, body mass index, and cardiovascular endurance after 12 weeks.
Cardiovascular endurance decreased significantly for the control group, whereas body weight, body
mass index, and body fat decreased significantly and flexibility, muscular strength, muscular endurance,
and cardiovascular endurance improved significantly for the exercise group. For the metabolic
syndrome risk factors, blood glucose and TC increased significantly for the control group, whereas the
waist-hip ratio(WHR), blood glucose, TC, TG, and LDL-C decreased significantly and HDL-C increased
significantly for the exercise group. Considering these findings, the music jump rope program
statistically significantly affected mid-aged obese women's body weight, body mass index, body fat,
flexibility, muscular strength, muscular endurance, cardiovascular endurance, waist-hip ratio (WHR),
blood glucose, TC, TG, HDL-C, and LDL-C after 12 weeks. Therefore, when performed regularly,
music jump rope exercise would have a positive impact on mid-aged obese women's physical strength
and metabolic syndrome risk factors.
