 note = {The city of Matsumoto has held “The Matsumoto Physical Training Program for Senior Citizens” in 1997. We have examined the effects of the program on the physical fitness of the participants. The subjects ranged in age from 41 to 68 years-old (57.1±6.8 years,mean±SD), and consisted of 31 males and 53 females.The program lasted from November 8, 1997 to March 21, 1998.They were required to walk actively every day (30～50% of maximal oxygen uptake) and to attend a class for physical education every week. Before and after the program we measured body weight, blood pressure, body-fat ratio, maximal oxygen uptake, physical fitness and blood chemicals (HDL and LDL cholesterol). The results were as follows. 1) Overall, maximal oxygen uptake (V̇O₂max) was not affected by the program, but a significant increase in the V̇O₂max was found among 15 subjects whose physical fitness was inferior to the others. 2) Body-weight decreased significantly (P＜0.05), from 58.2±1.0 (mean SE) to 57.6±0.9 kg,but the body-fat ratio did not change significantly. A significant correlation (r＝0.46, P＜0.01) was observed between the changes in body weight and body-fat ratio after the program. 3) Both systolic and diastolic blood pressures were significantly reduced (P＜0.05)by the training. 4)HDL cholesterol increased significantly and the atherosclerotic index (LDL/HDL)decreased significantly(P＜0.05). 5) There was a significant correlation between per-day exercise (number of paces)and the changes in diastolic blood pressure (r＝－0.25, P＜0.05) and body-fat ratio (r＝－0.30, P＜0.01). Thirteen subjects who walked with over 10,000 paces a day showed significant reductions (P＜0.05) in both diastolic blood pressure and body-fat ratio., Article, 信州医学雑誌 48(2): 89-96(2000)},
