Abstract
This study examined the relationship between cardiovascular endurance and the risk factor of arteriosclerosis for the subjects of 252 men. The examination items were the arterosclerotic risk factor index (RFI), VO2max, age, BMI, SBP, DBP, TG, TC and HDL-C. RFI and the items that positive correlation was admitted were the age, SBP, DBP, TG, TC and BMI. Significant negative correlation with RFI was seen at HDL-C and VO2max. Moreover, it made 37ml/min/kg, the maintenance goal value minimum of VO2max of the man, as a boundary and it classified into 2 groups of the higher group and the lower group. Then it examined a difference about each item. In the result of the examination, the lower group is significantly greater than the higher group in terms of RFI, age, BMI, DBP, TG and TC. HDL-C was significantly smaller in the lower group. In considering of an influence of aging factor, VO2max and RFI are significantly correlated by analyzing with the partial correlation coefficient. The possibility to make the risk factor of arteriosclerosis will be reduced in keeping the aerobic capacity above the constant standard by this research. Therefore, to make the implementation of the aerobic exercise habitation and to make an effort toward the improvement of cardiovascular endurance will be successful to prevent arteriosclerosis.
