RESUMOIntrodução: A atividade física é reconhecida como fator de proteção para a saúde, sendo seus benefícios associados à redução de doenças crônicas e à diminuição do risco de morte prematura por doenças cardiovasculares. Embora a atividade física seja um importante recurso para políticas de promoção de saúde, o baixo nível e a inatividade física são preocupantes em todo o mundo. Em uma sociedade cada vez mais urbanizada e industrializada, exercícios físicos praticados regularmente são importantes recursos para manter o nível de atividade física recomendado, contudo, é preciso identificar as práticas mais adequadas às necessidades preconizadas como efeito protetor do exercício físico para a saúde. Objetivo: Analisar a prevalência de atividade física, fatores sociodemográficos, frequência, modalidades e motivos para a prática de exercício físico em servidores públicos de uma universidade. Métodos: Estudo transversal, amostra aleatória (280 indivíduos) nível de confiança 95%, erro amostral 5%. Para avaliar o nível de atividade física foi utilizado o instrumento IPAQ (International Physical Activity Questionnaire), versão curta, na forma de entrevista. Foi aplicado um questionário sociodemográfico e questionado se os indivíduos praticavam exercício físico regularmente, a modalidade e frequência semanal, bem como os motivos para a prática. Os dados foram analisados utilizando-se o software estatístico SPSS -14.0. Resultados: A prevalência de inativos e insuficientemente ativos foi de 43,9%. Entre os que fazem exercício físico, 92,5% o fazem para a saúde (p<0,005), porém 29% são inativos ou insuficientemente ativos. Das modalidades mais praticadas, ao contrário do esperado, a caminhada não foi significativa. Conclusões: Houve diferenças no nível de atividade física quanto à idade, sexo, estado civil e ocupação, bem como nos motivos, na escolha e diversidade de modalidades praticadas. Além de encorajar e monitorar a atividade física, é preciso criar estratégias institucionais a fim de que se possam obter benefícios de melhor qualidade para a saúde. Palavras-chave: atividade física, estilo de vida, estudos transversais. ABSTRACTIntroduction: Physical activity is recognized as a protective factor for health, and its benefits have been associated to chronic disease reduction and diminished risk of premature death from cardiovascular disease. Although physical activity is an important resource for health promotion policies, low level and physical inactivity are reasons for concern worldwide. In an increasingly urbanized and industrialized society, physical exercises practiced regularly are an important resource to keep the recommended level of physical activity; however, it is necessary to identify the most adequate practices to achieve a protective effect on health. Objective: To analyze the prevalence of physical activity, socio-demographic factors, frequency, modalities and motives for practicing exercises among civil servants from a university. Methods: Cross-sectional study, random sample (280 individuals) confiden...

Background: Diabetes is one of the widely occurring diseases acting as a threat to mankind. 65% of the diabetic deaths are due to cardiovascular complications therefore diabetes acts as a major risk factor for vascular diseases. Sedentary lifestyles followed by today's generation with unhealthy eating habits and obesity are the major risk factors for diabetes. The current study aims at evaluating the effect of lifestyle intervention on glucose regulation among individuals without glucose intolerance or diabetes. Methods: The study was conducted during a 3 month period. In this study the participants were randomly divided into control and intervention group. Data regarding age, weight, height was recorded from all. The candidates in the intervention group were taught about healthy eating habits, improving their physical activity etc. The follow up was done at an interval of 1 month and 3 month. Changes occurring in the baseline values were recorded. The data was analysed by SPSS software. Results: Out of 1039 candidates, 520 candidates were included in Group I and 519 candidates in Group II. Age, sex and height were similar amongst both the groups showing no significant difference. Mean systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, fasting blood sugar level were higher in control group compared to intervention group. The intervention group demonstrated a change in physical activity by 37.5 +/-8.2 hours/ week compared to 12.3+/-5.1 hours/week. The BMI amongst the intervention group demonstrated a mean decrease by 0.21 +/-0.1 whereas the control group showed an increase by 0.17 +//-0.2. The difference was not significant between the groups. Conclusion: Lifestyle interventions influence the risk factors associated with diabetes or various other diseases. Thus any alterations in risk factors can decrease or increase the chances of occurrence of the disease.
