Influence of Physical Activity on the Regulation of Disease of Elderly Persons with Metabolic Syndrome

Abstract

Metabolic syndrome is a group of metabolic risk factors whose combination significantly contributes to the development of the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, stroke, some cancers and is a clear indicator of morbidity rate. The aim of this study was to identify physical activity programs that can successfully influence the reduction of risk factors in metabolic syndrome of the elderly. Subjects were aged between 60 and 80 years, had three of five signs of metabolic syndrome, and were randomly divided into three groups of 20 subjects. The first group conducted a continuous cycling ergometer (55% VO2max), the second group a physical activity strength program and the third was a control group. Before and after the experimental treatment body composition, biochemical parameters, functional parameters, cardiovascular functions, metabolic and hematological system were determined. Significant differences between control and experimental groups were determined using MANOVA. The training effects of the experimental and control groups were determined using the ANOVA for repeated measurements with Bonfferoni correction. The results showed that a physical activity program of strength has a better effect on disease regulation in the elderly with metabolic syndrome than a moderate-intensity physical activity program which also has a significant change but in less variables.

Síndrome metabólica e o papel da atividade física na abordagem clínica das comorbidades associadas

“…Assim, um estilo de vida sedentário promove um aumento da glicemia, tendo um impacto negativo sobre a saúde de portadores de SM. Isso, pois aumenta em grande proporção a chance de se desenvolver diabetes mellitus tipo 2, que traz sérios riscos à vida de seus portadores (Stetic et al, 2021).…”

“…Chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia, are among the most prevalent and costly health issues and they are considered as the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the world. Chronic diseases can be prevented by controlling or treating risk factors such as overweight, and obesity, as well as unhealthy eating habits, physical inactivity, and psychosocial conditions [ 1 ]. Metabolic syndrome (MetS), formerly known as Syndrome X, is a complex disorder that has become a worldwide epidemic with high socioeconomic costs.…”

Düzenli Spor Yapanların Covid-19 Pandemi Döneminde Evde Kısıtlı Kalmaları Egzersize Yönelik Tutum ve Davranışlarını Değiştirdi mi?

“…Fiziksel, fizyolojik ve psikolojik faydaları göz önüne alındığında egzersizi insanların yaşamlarına ve sağlık programlarına dahil etmesi artık kaçınılmazdır (Bicer et al 2012;Kraus, et al 2019;Emm-Collison, Sebire, Salway, Thompson, & Jago 2020;Stetic, Belcic, Sporis, Stetic, & Starcevic, 2021). Egzersiz uygulamaları sadece sağlık sorunlarını önlemek için değil, aynı zamanda sağlıklı yaşam tarzını devam ettirmek için de gereklidir (Patnode, Evans, Senger, Redmond, & Lin, 2017).…”
