| Popis: | 92 Cardiovascular disease is one of the major causes leading to death and disabling in women and life style modification and increase in physical activity can reduce risk in cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of regular exercise training on cardiovascular disease risk factors and mood states among high risk women. A quasi-experimental design was used to guide the study. The subjects are high risk in cardiovascular disease with age from 35-64. They were randomized into exercise and control groups. There were 18 women in the exercise group and another 18 in the control group. The exercise group was assigned to participation in an 8-weeks treadmill exercise program. The control group remained their living pattern. The measurement used for data analysis were exercise test, blood biochemistry, and short form of The Profile of Mood States. Percentage, mean, standard deviation, Pearson correlation, Paired t test, independent t test, Mann-Whitney U test and Wilcoxon Sign-Rink test were used for the data analysis. The result of this study were：(1)the most common cardiovascular risk factors in women enrolled in this study were menopause status, stress perception, total cholesterol(TC), low-density lipoprotein(LDL), and high body-mass index；(2) The body-mass index, waist-to-hip-circumference-ratio, resting systolic blood pressure, resting diastolic blood pressure in the exercise group decreased significantly(p＜.05) after 8-weeks exercise training. However, blood lipid profile, and fasting blood glucose level didn’t reveal significant changes, Also, the magnitude of exercise training had a strong positive correlation(p＜.05) in the improvement of TC and triglyceride level in women；(3) The 2 groups in this study had highest scores in “ vigor-activity “ and lowest in “ fatigue-inertia ” and “ total scores ” mood status. (4) The mean scores in “ vigor-activity “ revealed significant increase in the women exercise group after training and the total scores in emotional status and significant(p＜.05) reverse correlation with mood status and “tension-anxiety“ scores. However, there was no obvious body composition、blood lipid profile、blood pressure and emotional status improvement in the control group before and after study. This study revealed that 8-weeks moderate intensity regular exercise training didn’t improve blood lipid profile, but better improvement in the body composition, blood pressure and emotional status in high cardiovascular risk women had been observed. |
