摘要：Purpose.The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of eight-week step-aerobic exercise programs on flexibility,body weight,body fat percentage and body circumference measurements of sedentary women.Methods.20 sedentary female volunteers participated in the study.Step-aerobic exercises were applied to for every participant for 8 weeks,three days a week and 45 minutes per day.Data were analyzed by using SPSS 17.0 software.For statistical analysis,Paired-t test was used.Significance level was determined to be 0.05.Results.Significant differences were found between mean values of pre-and post-tests (flexibility = 3.35cm;body weight = 4.48 kg;body fat percentage = 3.39%,and the number of heart beats = 4 beats/min) (p<0.05).Conclusions.As a result of the step-aerobic exercises,flexibility and all parameters related with the body composition of the individuals were changed positively.The study showed similarity with the results of other studies.
