This study was to investigate the effect of long-term regular walking aerobic exercise on metabolism-related hormone, growth hormone, control function of posture level. 12 subjects were divided into the aerobic walking exercise(n=6) and the control(n=5) groups. The aerobic walking exercise group had 10 week of walking aerobic exercise 4 times a week with the intensity of 50～60% of HRmax from the beginning to 5th week, 61-70% of HRmax from 6th to 10th week. Insulin were decreased significantly after 10 weeks in the walking aerobic exercise group(p<0.05). And Insulin showed the significantly low levels in the aerobic walking exercise group than those in the control group after 10 weeks(p<0.05). Leptin were not decreased significant differences in the walking exercise after 10 weeks. And Leptin showed the significantly low levels in the aerobic walking exercise group than those in the control group after 10 weeks(p<0.05). Growth hormone were not increased significant differences in the walking exercise after 10 weeks. Overall balance index were decreased significantly after 5 and 10 weeks in the walking aerobic exercise group(p<0.05). Anterior/posterior index were decreased significantly after 10 weeks in the walking aerobic exercise group(p<0.05). And anterior/posterior balance index showed the significantly low levels in the aerobic walking exercise group than those in the control group after 10 weeks(p<0.05). Medial/lateral index were not decreased significant differences in the walking exercise after 10 weeks. And leptin showed the significantly low levels in the aerobic walking exercise group than those in the control group after 10 weeks(p<0.05).
