The purpose of this study is to clarify the changes in the condition in peripheral blood circulation due to a lack of exercise. Twenty-three healthy and untrained female college students volunteered to be subjects in this study. Two groups, one of 15 and one of 8 subjects, were randomly assigned to the experiment and the control groups, respectively. Since the ideal energy consumption for women per day is suggested to be 2,200 kcal/day, the experiment group was asked to maintain an energy consumption of less than 2,200 kcal/day during the period of 12 weeks and the control group was asked to maintain the energy consumption more than 2,200 kcal/day during the same period. An energy consumption level of less than 2,200kcal/day was considered to be the lack of exercise in this study. The acceleration plethysmograph (APG) was applied in this study to determine the condition of the peripheral blood circulation. In the results of this study, it was found that a daily lifestyle that featured the consumption of less than 2,200kcal/day adversely affects the condition of the peripheral blood circulation, whereas a lifestyle featuring the condition of 2,200 kcal/day or more brings about a good influence upon the condition of the peripheral blood circulation. It, therefore, seems that a lack of exercise decreases the peripheral blood circulation.
