The purpose of this study is to elucidate the effects of walking exercise in high altitude environment using the system of Mt.Ishizuchi for weight reduction in middle-aged and elderly persons. In experiment 1 (Exp.1), fifteen obese adults walked one day under a hypobaric environment (1500m) and one day under a normobaric environment for two days per week during 12 weeks of walking exercise. All the subjects walked for 60 minutes. In experiment 2(Exp.2), five male subjects exercised 60 minutes on a treadmill at 1500m simulated altitude for one day per week for 12 weeks. Before and after 12 weeks of EG and CG, the following parameters were measured body weight (BW), body composition and arterial stiffness index (baPWV) at 09 : 30-10 : 00 a.m. BW after the training for 12 weeks was significantly lower than that before the training. The composition of body fat after the training for 12 weeks was significantly lower than that before the training. LBM did not differ between before and after training for 12 weeks. The arterial stiffness index (baPWV) after the training for 12 weeks was significantly lower than that before the training. These results suggest that the combination of walking exercise in hypobaric and normobaric environments may be a useful method for body weight reduction and exercise treatment in middle and elderly persons.
