Title Of Article :
A STUDY ON PHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES IN WOMEN WHO DO SPORTS FOR RECREATIVE PURPOSES
Abstract :
The aim of this study is to determine the physiological changes that occur in middle-aged sedentary individuals who do aerobics and fitness exercise for recreation purposes and also to determine the effects of sport-based recreation in terms of physiology and health. For this purpose, 42 (40.64 ± 5.33) middle-aged sedentary female subjects who were involved in sports-training activities at Istanbul-Akatlar Club Sporium in 2009-2010 participated in the study. The subject-group was subjected to an aerobic-based training program in parallel with their physical conditions three days a week for a period of 12 weeks. When pre and post-test results obtained were compared, a statistically significant decline was found in women in terms of parameters such as body-weight, body mass index, body fat content (%), basal metabolism, total daily energy requirement of the body, age and muscle strength; whereas an increase was observed with respect to VO2max parameter.
