Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of long-term circuit weight training on lymphocyte subpopulations in middle-aged women. Circuit weight training are practiced for 12 weeks (4 times a week) based on exercise group: (n=7) and control group: (n=7) with 3 sets exercise during 50 minutes as 70% of the maximum repetition of 1 minute for each item in 9 items. The results are as follows; In exercise group, the percentage and absolute number of lymphocyte subsets are found to have a significant(p<.05) increase after 12 weeks circuit weight training. Whereas, the above items are found to have no change after 12 weeks in control group. As the above results, long-term circuit weight training is demonstrated to have positive effect on the cellular immune function in middle-aged women. |
