Analysis of the difference in blood components, blood pressure, and bone density between the control group and experiment group led to the following conclusions. First, Among the blood components, there was no significant group difference in the total cholesterol, LDL-C, TG, GOP, and GPT. There was a significant difference in HDL-C (p<.05). Second, For blood pressure, there was significant group difference in systolic blood pressure (p<.05), diastolic blood pressure (p<.01), and mean blood pressure (p<.01). Third, There was no significant group difference in bone density. The above findings show that 20 weeks toning exercises help to improve HDL-C and blood pressure of middle-aged women in rural areas. These findings can be utilized in developing exercise programs for middle-aged women in rural areas.
