Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to determine if the simple exercise affects the calcaneus quantitative ultrasound status and the other indices of body composition among undergraduate female students. Forty-one adolescents were recruited.This was a three-month intervention study, so the measurements were conducted at baseline, two months later, and three months later while the subjects underwent circuit training at home. The subjects were divided into two groups: namely, the exercising group and non-exercising group.In the exercising group,the calcaneus quantitative ultrasound status and muscle mass were highe at three months later.In the non-exercising group, the calcaneus quantitative ultrasound status was also higher at three months later. The body percentage was also higher. These findings suggest that the calcaneus quantitative ultrasound status and muscle mass while losing fat mass may be improved by a simple exercise in younger generation.
