【Supercategory：7. DESCENTE SPORTS SCIENCE Subcategory：7.5 Vol.5】
We performed medical examination on three groups of aged men (60-80 years) who had exercise habit with variable intensity (runners, members of calisthenic club, gate ball players) and investigated the effect of exercise on aged men.
1. There were many abnormal findings in runners, but few had been medically checked.
2. Runners showed lower % body fat and resting heart rate, higher systolic blood pressure than gate ball players. HDL-Cholesterol level of runners was relatively high, but total cholesterol level of them was higher than that of gate ball players.
3. Runners had relatively large heart volume and many of them showed high voltage in ECG. In echocardiography, two of runners showed hypertrophy of septum and posterior wall.
4. There were no difference in respiratory functions of three groups.
