This study conducted 12-week walking with obese middle-aged women and compared and analyzed its effects on body composition and inflammatory markers. Finally, the following results were obtained. First, after application of walking to obese middle-aged women, their body composition showed significant decreases in weight(measurement period p<.001, group×period p<.001), %body fat(measurement period p<.001, group×period p<.001), and LBM(measurement period p<.01, group×period p<.01), suggesting positive results. Second, after application of walking to obese middle-aged women, their inflammatory markers showed significant decreases or increases in hs-CRP(measurement period p<.001, group×period p<.01), TNF-α(inter-group p<.05, measurement period p<.001, group×period p<.01), IL-6(inter-group p<.05, measurement period p<.05, group×period p<.01), and Adiponectin(inter-group p<.05, measurement period p<.05, group×period p<.01), suggesting positive results. Based on this result, regular walking may prevent a metabolic syndrome by decreasing weight and %body fat in obese middle-aged women. Moreover, it showed an effective decrease or increase in inflammatory markers that can cause all kinds of chronic diseases and may be effective for preventing lifestyle diseases. Since walking can be done anytime and anywhere in an easy and economical way and help obese middle-aged women reduce their weight without giving exceeding burden to joints, it can be strongly recommended. Accordingly, further researches on walking and diet should classify walking intensity into low intensity, moderate intensity, and high intensity and examine what walking intensity is the most effective. Based on this result, human body’s metabolic energy system should be investigated.

현대사회에 있어서 신체활동 연구의 주요 탐구과제는 ‘신체활동을 통한 교육’으로부터 ‘인간의 기본적인 움직임’을 목표로 하는 스포츠적인 움직임을 중심으로 한 생명 활동의 개념으로 급속히 변화되고 있는 추세이다. 이러한 환경변화에 대응하기 위하여 본학회는 ‘체육’적인 요소에서 ‘스포츠’적인 요소를 중심으로 한 학문적 정체성을 견고히 하고, 정기적인 학술지 발간과 학술활동을 통해 한국스포츠츠 문화의 발전과 학문적인 발전에 기여하는데 그 목적이 있다.
