Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to examine relationships between improvement of physical fitness by aerobic training or resistance training and alcohol clearance after drinking.
Sedentary subjects had trained 12-weeks and we measured physical fitness and alcohol clearance capacity at pre- and post-training. At first experiment, subjects were trained by aerobic exercise and subjects were trained by resistance exercise at second experiment.
In the results, aerobic training did not improve alcohol clearance capacity, but resistance training improved alcohol clearance capacity. Therefore, we conclude that alcohol clearance capacity may be improved by increasing muscle volume.
