| Research Abstract |
The purposes of this study were (1) to evaluate eating habit of working middle to elderly women, (2) to observe lumber bone mineral density, (3) to clarify effects of physical training (swimming) on endurance and blood lipid profile of the women. The results showed that energy intake of the women was similar to that of their counterparts, while protein and fat intake ws more than that of their counterpart. Their alcohol intake was not such (about a glass of beer). Bone mineral density of both lumber and femoral neck was a little bit higher than their counterparts. after the 1-year swimming training, Lactate threshold (LT) increased significantly for the women who participated the training more than 1.5 times a week, while no change in LT was observed for the member who participated the lesson less than 1.5 times a week. Blood HDL cholesterol concentration of the women did not change during the year, while significantly less increase in LDL cholesterol was observed i the women who participated the training more than 6 times a month. These results may suggest that endurance and blood lipid profile can be improved if the elderly women participate the swimming training more than 1.5 times a week.
