Abstract

Korea has entered phase of aging society already in 2000 due to increase in population of the aged persons with increase in the average life expectancy of general population. According to the recent result of population estimation by the National Statistical Office, it is forecasted that Korea will enter the phase of aged society by 2018. In relations to this, it is known that DHEA and Estrogen Hormone, hormones related to aging, imparts substantial effect on the human body and are causes of physical and psychological problems particularly in women who are undergoing menopause. Accordingly, this Study obtained the following conclusion as the result of analysis of the effects of aerobic exercise and resistance exercise on DHEA and Estrogen Hormone in aged women. There were significant differences in DHEA [F=12.99, p<.01] and Estrogen Hormone [F=12.48 p<.01] in accordance with the time of measurement. Furthermore, it was found that secretion increased further when subjected to resistance exercise in comparison to aerobic exercise. Therefore, it is believed that aerobic exercise and resistance exercise in aged women can prevent health issues, and maintain and improve health in aged women by preventing osteoporosis, prevention of dementia, promotion of synthesis of neurotransmission material, and improvement of immune function through exercising by bringing about increase in secretion of DHEA and Estrogen Hormone, along with accompanied effect of prevention of cardiac disorder and arteriosclerosis.
