48 of middle aged men, 46.0±2.5 years old, continued low intensity training (200-250 Cal/h, twice a week) during 6 months. From comparison their physical functions before and after the training period, following results were obtained : 1. Skin fold thicknesses decreased significantly (p<0.01), but these decreases did not influence on their body weights. 2. Muscular strength in lower extensor significantly increased (p<0.01) and Sargent jump, agility and closed eyes-one leg balance were significantly improved (p<0.05,p<0.001,p<0.001,respectively). 3. On the work 1oad test by bicycle ergometer, maximum heart rate and oxygen requirement were 1ower after the training than those before training, but there was not significant change in blood pressure. 4. On the 1500m fast walk test, the time signficantly shortened after the training. 5. But there were not significant differences in blood substances after the 6 months training. From these results, even in low intensity training, the twice a week training during 6 months improved leg muscular strength, cardiorespiratory functions, endurance and metabolism. And it seems that in middle aged men, high frequency training, even in low intensity, would influence enough on their physical fitness and muscular strength in lower extremity would be a key to maintain or to improve their physical fitness.
