“…In middle-aged individuals, this practice can reduce from 20 to 40% mortality due to cardiovascular diseases 27 . Specifically for the male population at this age group, the benefits of moderate PA may be similar to higher intensity PA, since throughout life, individuals maintain a high PA level 27 . According to literature data and the results obtained in this study, the practice of moderate and total PA can be beneficial to middle-aged individuals, positively acting on male aging symptoms and the intensity in which they occur.…”

-The aim of the research was to analyze the association of physical activity (PA) intensity and duration with male aging symptoms. This is a cross-sectional study of probabilistic sample involving 416 men from two cities in southern Brazil. Data collection used a questionnaire divided into six parts: sample characteristics; anthropometric measurements; economic level by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE); International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ short-version); Behavioral Risk Factors Surveillance System Questionnaire (BRFSS) and Male Aging Symptoms Scale (AMS). The sample was divided into two groups: with and without male aging symptoms, making use of descriptive and inferential statistics. The presence of male aging symptoms was identified in 61.6% of men, especially somatic and psychological symptoms. Most were considered sufficiently active (60.1%), highlighting men without male aging symptoms (p = 0.026), with a possible effect of moderate and total PA on low-intensity symptoms (p = 0.027; p = 0.015). This study identified relationships between PA duration and intensity and intensity of male aging symptoms. PA practice with specific intensity and duration is suggested in order to obtain health benefits related to male aging symptoms.Key words: Physical activity; Men; Symptoms. Resumo -O objetivo da pesquisa foi analisar a associação da intensidade e duração da atividade física (AF) com sintomas do envelhecimento masculino. Caracterizando-se como um estudo transversal, de amostra probabilística em que participaram 416 homens, de duas cidades no sul do Brasil. Para a coleta de dados utilizou-se um questionário dividido em seis partes: características da amostra; medidas antropométricas; estrato econômico pelo Instituto Braisleiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE); Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física (IPAQ-versão curta); Behavioral Risk Factors Surveillance System Questionaire (BRFSS); Escala dos Sintomas do Envelhecimento Masculino (AMS

“…diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, or cancer) [2,1]. Ramirez-Vélez points out that the risk of cardiovascular diseases decreases by 20-40% if the physical activity of middle-aged adults is at least moderate (3-6 MEts) or the calorie use is minimum 100 kcal/ week [7]. However, despite all of their health preserving effects, even low-intensity physical activities are often missing from the lifestyle of the adult population, which is commonly due to the lack of training partner or professional support [8].…”

Material and Method This is a prospective, cross-sectional, and correlational study with a probabilistic sampling in which 150 teenagers from three different high schools from the city of Toluca, Mexico, aged 15–17, were assessed. Objective To determine if weight, age, and gender have an influence on physical fitness evaluated with the EUROFIT and ALPHA-FITNESS batteries. Results Women have a higher overweight and obesity rate than men (3 : 1). Adolescents who have normal weight have regular physical fitness (74.9%). When comparing genders we found that men have a higher mean than women in the tests, except for skinfold thickness and waist circumference. Age was only correlated with the plate tapping test (p = 0.001). There are significant differences in the standing broad jump test and the Course-Navette of the EUROFIT and ALPHA-FITNESS batteries (p = 0.000). Conclusions It is likely that regular physical activity, and not normal weight, helps generate healthy physical fitness. Male subjects had a higher mean than women, reporting a better physical fitness and more frequent physical activity.
