The purpose of this study was to identify the effects on basal metabolic rate and serum lipid according to the amount of exercise activity of middle-aged women. We divided 30 middle-aged women into dynamic exercise group and static exercise group in Seongnam Senior Experience Complex on 8 weeks. The before and after tests examined the body weight and height, basal metabolic rate, serum lipids that LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, total cholesterol and triglyceride level. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. As a result of comparing the changes in before and after results of dynamic exercise group and static exercise group, significant differences were shown in basal metabolic rate(P<0.05), total cholesterol(P<0.05). And there was a significant difference in total cholesterol(P<0.05), LDL-cholesterol(P<0.05) between the two groups before and after the experiment. The basal metabolic rate and LDL values were changed with or without exercise. And total cholesterol and LDL values showed different changes according to the amount of exercise. Therefore, dynamic exercise with a high amount of exercise is effective in lowering serum lipid.
