The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of combine exercise on blood lipid profiles and IL-6, TNF-α, VEGF in obese elderly women. Twenty, obese elderly women composed of circulation exercise group (EX, n=10), the control group (CON, n=10). The variables of blood lipid profiles and IL-6, TNF-α, VEGF were measured in all the subjects before the start and after the end of 12 week circulation exercise program (40-60%HRR, 3 times per week, 60 mins). The test data were analyzed by paired t-test and 2-way ANOVA repeated measure, and the alpha level of p < 0.05 was set for all tests of significance. Blood lipid and IL-6, TNF-α, VEGF were measured pre and 12 weeks of post exercise training. TC (p < 0.05), LDL-C (p < 0.05), IL-6 (p < 0.05), TNF-α (p < 0.05) was significantly decreased in EX group compared to CON group. VEGF (p < 0.05) were significantly increased in EX group compared to CON group. These results suggest that 12 weeks of combine exercise improves blood lipid profiles and IL-6, TNF-α, VEGF. Thus, this combine exercise can be a useful therapy to improve blood lipid profiles and IL-6, TNF-α, VEGF in obese elderly women.
