The purpose of this study was to confirm the effects of a moderate and fast walking exercise program on middle-aged women's fatigue, serum lipids and immunoglobulins.
A non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design was used for this study. The experiment was conducted for 10 weeks from May 17th to July 25th, 2004 with 44 middle-aged women, consisting of 16 for the moderate walking group, 15 for the fast walking group and 13 for the control group.
Walking exercise at both a moderate and fast speed was effective in middle-aged women in reducing fatigue and serum lipids. It was also revealed that extended periods of exercise was more effective in decreasing fatigue while for reducing serum lipid, high intensity exercise was more effective. In this study, serum immunoglobulins were reduced after moderate and fast walking exercise but its cause was not fully understood so further research is needed.
This study helps us recognize the importance of regular exercise and promotes motivation to exercise for a healthy life among middle-aged women.
本研究旨在证实中等强度和快速步行锻炼计划对中年女性疲劳、血脂和免疫球蛋白的影响。
本研究采用非等效对照组前测后测设计。实验于2004年5月17日至7月25日进行，为期10周，共有44名中年女性参与，其中中等步行组16人，快速步行组15人，对照组13人。
中等速度和快速速度的步行锻炼对中年女性减轻疲劳和降低血脂均有效。研究还表明，较长时间的锻炼在减轻疲劳方面更有效，而在降低血脂方面，高强度锻炼更有效。在本研究中，中等强度和快速步行锻炼后血清免疫球蛋白降低，但其原因尚不完全清楚，因此需要进一步研究。
本研究有助于我们认识到定期锻炼的重要性，并促进中年女性为健康生活而进行锻炼的积极性。
