The purpose of this study was to evaluate changes in aerobic fitness among female participants in a hospital-based wellness program. Subjects were divided retrospectively into control (n = 5) and experimental (n = 17) groups, based on their frequency of exercise during a supervised exercise program. The control group exercised less than two days a week, the experimental group exercised two to four days a week. Body weight, percent body fat, and estimated maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max) were assessed before and after 6- to 12-months of individually prescribed exercise. Pre- and post-test results were analyzed with paired t tests. In the experimental group, body weight and percent body fat remained unchanged (P greater than .05) whereas estimated VO2 max increased significantly (P less than .05). No changes (P greater than .05) were observed in the control group. These results demonstrated that regular participation in a supervised exercise program can effectively increase aerobic fitness.
本研究的目的是评估参加医院健康计划的女性参与者有氧适能的变化。根据在有监督的锻炼计划中的锻炼频率，将研究对象回顾性地分为对照组（n = 5）和实验组（n = 17）。对照组每周锻炼少于两天，实验组每周锻炼两到四天。在进行6至12个月的个性化规定锻炼前后，评估体重、体脂百分比和估计最大摄氧量（VO2 max）。使用配对t检验分析测试前和测试后的结果。在实验组中，体重和体脂百分比保持不变（P大于0.05），而估计的VO2 max显著增加（P小于0.05）。对照组未观察到变化（P大于0.05）。这些结果表明，定期参加有监督的锻炼计划可以有效提高有氧适能。
