[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to determine how a compound exercise program affected the elasticity of the blood vessels of middle aged obese women. [Methods] The research subjects were 40-50 year old women who had excess body fat (30%). The experimental group performed warm-up and cool-down: walking at 3.5-4.0 km/h for 5 minutes and exercised using nine kinds of machinery. A analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used for statistical analysis. [Results] In the experimental group, LH PWV, RH PWV, HF PWV, RF PWV significantly increased compared to the control. [Conclusion] The compound exercise program designed for middle aged obese women had affected the elasticity of the blood vessels.
