Abstract;"JOBA DIET-EXA" has been developed by increasing the operating speed of "JOBA", an exercise training machine providing a simplified horse riding motion, for applying the physical effect to the middle-age group. Electromyography indicates that the muscle burden generated on a middle-aged person when riding a "JOBA DIET-EXA" is equivalent to that of an elderly person riding a "JOBA". Also, it is confirmed that the burden on the circulatory system of middle-aged persons is smaller than the burden of elderly persons through the evaluation of Heart Rate. A training program designed for middle-aged women, 20 minutes a day, 3 times a week for 3 months, proves to increase the muscle power required for maintaining posture and walking as well as increase the rest-state metabolism. In addition, practicing aerobics exercise, "Jobabics", when riding the "JOBA DIET-EXA" proves to decrease waist and hip sizes and improve balance. (author abst.)
