“…Some authors have found that afternoon and early evenings time slots are periods with high levels of sedentary behavior [4,30], which should be regularly interrupted to avoid the pathological consequences of excessive sitting [4,7,29]. Moreover, the so-called accumulative exercise bouts (of at least 10 min, distributing exercise training in the morning and in the afternoon) are indicated to be an effective strategy to counteract sedentary time in less-active timeslots [7,15,31].…”

The present study aimed to analyze the impact of a multicomponent training (MCT) program in a group of non-active older adults, comparing two different dose distributions. Twenty-four individuals, assigned to two groups, completed 15 weeks of MCT (2 days/week). The continuous group (CMCT; n = 14, 9 females; 71.07 ± 5.09 years) trained for 60 min/session in the morning. The accumulated group (AMCT; n = 10, 5 females; 72.70 ± 3.59 years) performed the same exercises, volume, and intensity, but the training was distributed twice per day (30 min in the morning; 30 more in the afternoon). Bonferroni post hoc comparisons revealed significant (p < 0.001) and similar large improvements in both groups in lower limb strength (five times sit-to-stand test: CMCT, 12.55 ± 2.83 vs. 9.44 ± 1.72 s; AMCT, 10.37 ± 2.35 vs. 7.46 ± 1.75 s). In addition, there were large gains in preferred walking speed and instrumental daily life activities, which were higher for CMCT and AMCT, respectively (in this order: 1.00 ± 0.18 vs. 1.44 ± 0.26 m/s and 1.09 ± 0.80 vs. 1.58 ± 0.18 m/s; 33.07 ± 2.88 vs. 36.57 ± 1.65 points and 32.80 ± 1.93 vs. 36.80 ± 0.92 points); improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness, now moderate for CMCT (474.14 ± 93.60 vs. 529.64 ± 82.76 m) and large for AMCT (515.10 ± 20.24 vs. 589.60 ± 40.38 m); and medium and similar enhancements in agility in both groups (TUG test: CMCT: 7.49 ± 1.11 vs. 6.77 ± 1.16 s; AMCT: 6.84 ± 1.01 vs. 6.18 ± 0.62 s). None of the protocols had an impact on the executive function, whereas health-related quality of life showed a trend to significance in the whole sample only (EQindex overall sample, p = 0.062; d = 0.48 CMCT; d = 0.34 AMCT). Regardless of the type of dose distribution, starting multicomponent training improves physical function in non-active older adults, but does not improve cognitive function at mid-term. Because both forms of MCT showed similar compliance, slightly positive differences in accumulated strategies may indicate some benefits related to breaking afternoon sedentary behaviors, which deserves further research in longer and larger interventions. The mixed nature of MCT suggests accumulative group interventions may be a promising approach to address sedentary aging.

La actividad física realizada de manera sistemática es la piedra angular frente a las enfermedades. Los docentes universitarios por las múltiples responsabilidades, y viviendo en confinamiento son propensos a desarrollar el estrés y el sobrepeso. El objetivo de la investigación es determinar la relación de la actividad física, el estrés con el Índice de Masa Corporal en docentes universitarios en pandemia. El tipo de investigación es básica, con diseño descriptivo correlacional múltiple con una población de 1150 docentes y con una muestra de tipo probabilística de 234 docentes (150 varones y 84 mujeres) con promedio de edad 49.70 ± 10.01, los instrumentos utilizados son los cuestionarios de actividad física, estrés y el reporte de sus medidas antropométricas (estatura y peso). Resultados el 58.86% de varones presentan actividad física baja, en comparación con las mujeres 41.14%, el 91.95% muestran estrés por presión laboral, los varones presentan mayor tendencia al sobrepeso 67.59%, en comparación con las mujeres 32.41% y obesidad grado II 33.96%. Se determina la relación entre las variables actividad física, estrés y el Índice de Masa Corporal con un Rho de Spearman inversamente proporcional de -0,183 y -0,204. En conclusión, los docentes varones muestran porcentajes más altos de inactividad física y sobrepeso.
