The relationship between physical activity intensity and domains with cardiac autonomic modulation in adults

Background:The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between intensity of physical activity (PA) and body composition in 343 young women.Methods:Physical activity was objectively measured using accelerometers worn for 7 days in women 17 to 25 years. Body composition was assessed using the BOD POD.Results:Young women who spent less than 30 minutes a week performing vigorous PA had significantly higher body fat percentages than women who performed more than 30 minutes of vigorous PA per week (F = 4.54, P = .0113). Young women who spent less than 30 minutes per day in moderate to vigorous PA (MVPA) had significantly higher body fat percentages than those who obtained more than 30 minutes per day of MVPA (F = 7.47, P = .0066). Accumulating more than 90 minutes of MVPA per day was associated with the lowest percent body fat. For every 10 minutes spent in MVPA per day, the odds of having a body fat percentage above 32% decreased by 29% (P = .0002).Conclusion:Vigorous PA and MVPA are associated with lower adiposity. Young women should be encouraged to accumulate at least 30 minutes of MVPA per day, however getting more than 90 minutes a day is predictive of even lower levels of adiposity.

Abstrak Prevalensi Diabetes mellitus (DM) mengalami peningkatan secara global baik di negara berpenghasilan tinggi maupun negara berpenghasilan rendah dan menengah termasuk di Indonesia. Indonesia menduduki urutan ke empat dengan prevalensi diabetes tertinggi di dunia setelah India, China, dan Amerika Serikat. Tujuan dari tulisan ini adalah untuk mengkaji hubungan pola konsumsi dan aktivitas fisik dengan kejadian DM di Indonesia berdasarkan data Riskesdas tahun 2013. Pengumpulan data dilakukan pada bulan Mei - Juni 2013 di 33 provinsi dan 497 kabupaten/kota di Indonesia. Desain penelitian ini adalah cross sectional. Jumlah sampel sebanyak 722.329 responden yang berusia 15 tahun ke atas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa aktivitas fisik merupakan faktor risiko dominan terhadap kejadian DM di Indonesia. Masyarakat yang memiliki kebiasaan hanya melakukan aktifitas ringan mempunyai peluang untuk terkena DM 2,9 kali dibandingkan dengan masyarakat yang memiliki kebiasaan melakukan aktifitas berat, sedangkan masyarakat yang memiliki kebiasaan melakukan aktivitas sedang mempunyai peluang lebih rendah terkena DM yaitu 1,8 kali dibandingkan dengan aktivitas berat. Semakin berat aktivitas fisik yang dilakukan maka semakin sedikit kemungkinan terkena DM. Dalam mencegah semakin tingginya prevalensi DM di Indonesia maka diperlukan peningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat untuk meningkatkan intensitas aktivitas fisik terutama bagi masyarakat yang aktivitas fisiknya rendah. Kata kunci : Diabetes mellitus, perilaku konsumsi, aktivitas fisik Abstract Prevalency Diabetes Mellitus (DM) experience increasing globally either in high income states or in the low and middle income states including Indonesia. Indonesia is the fourth prevalency Diabetes Mellitus in the world after India, China, and United States. The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between consumsion pattern and physical activity on DM in Indonesia based on Riskesdas data in 2013. Data are gathered from may up to June 2013 in 33 provinces and 497 regencies/cities in Indonesia. The research is cross sectional design. The samples are 722.329 respondents aging among 15 years and over. The results show that the physical activity is the risk factor dominantly on the DM in Indonesia. Society having only light activity have a tendency to get DM 2.9 times compared to those who have the strongest activity, while those who are stronger activity have lower tendency to get DM that is 1.8 times compared to those who have the strongest activity. To prevent higher prevalency DM in Indonesia, it is expected to rise the societal care to increase physical activity intensity primarily for those who has the low physical activities.

The Relationship

An improved method of physical activity accelerometer data processing, involving a wider frequency filter than the most commonly used ActiGraph filter, has been shown to better capture variations in physical activity intensity in a lab setting. The aim of the study was to investigate how this improved measure of physical activity affected the relationship with markers of cardiometabolic health. Accelerometer data and markers of cardiometabolic health from 725 adults from two samples, LIV 2013 and SCAPIS pilot, were analyzed. The accelerometer data was processed using both the original ActiGraph method with a low-pass cut-off at 1.6 Hz and the improved method with a low-pass cut-off at 10 Hz. The relationship between the physical activity intensity spectrum and a cardiometabolic health composite score was investigated using partial least squares regression. The strongest association between physical activity and cardiometabolic health was shifted towards higher intensities with the 10 Hz output compared to the ActiGraph method. In addition, the total explained variance was higher with the improved method. The 10 Hz output enables correctly measuring and interpreting high intensity physical activity and shows that physical activity at this intensity is stronger related to cardiometabolic health compared to the most commonly used ActiGraph method.

The Relationship

We calculated individual heart rate–oxygen consumption (HR–V̇O2) regression lines for 49 sixth-grade girls based on a treadmill test. From these data, we determined V̇O2 at HRs of 140 and 160 b · min−1 and 50%, 60%, and 75% of maximal heart rate reserve (MHRR), and the relationship between V̇O2 and %fat at given heart rates. Results indicated traditional 140 and 160 b · min−1 HR cutpoints were at the low end of exercise intensity (46 and 63% V̇O2max) and were negatively correlated with %fat. Heart rates at 50%, 60%, and 75% MHRR corresponded to 52%, 62%, and 76% of V̇O2max. Although the best method for analyzing HR data to describe physical activity intensity is unknown, use of 140 and 160 cutpoints may not describe vigorous or very hard exercise in adolescent girls as well as 75% MHRR. Researchers should also consider the effects of adiposity when using specific heart rate cutpoints.

Different Levels

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between different levels of physical activity (light, moderate, and vigorous), physical health, happiness, and depression among older adults with diabetes. Using data from the National Social Life, Health and Aging Project (NSHAP) Wave 3, the results indicate that moderate and/or vigorous physical activity is more effective than light physical activity for promoting physical health and happiness and lowering depression of older adults with diabetes. This study suggests that activity professionals and therapists working with older adults with diabetes need to encourage their participation in physical activity as well as adjust a level of physical activity intensity that is tailored to participants’ needs and expectations.

The Relationship

Using a multi-dimensional three-week household time-use and activity diary, this study aims to investigate the interaction between time-use and activity travel participation, built environment, leisure-time physical activity, travel parameters, and physical intensity on physical and social health. The relationship between time-use and activity travel participation is complex. Therefore, physical activity (PA) intensity is assumed to intermediate the relationship between endogenuous and exogenous variables. This study use a comprehensive set of data that was collected at a household level for twenty-one (21) consecutive days. A total of 732 individuals and 191 households were recorded, representing 0.029% total population of Bandung Metropolitan Area (BMA). The data analyzed with descriptive and linear regression analysis using Statistical Package for Social Sciences SPSS version 26.0.0 software (IBM: Armonk, NY, USA). An advanced model, such as the hierarchical Structural Equation Model (SEM), is used to validate the relationship between activity patterns and health parameters. The estimated results indicate that a minute increase in public transport mode has an 8.8% positive correlation with physical health and 9.0% with social health. Furthermore, an increase in the one-minute duration of in-home maintenance and out-of-home leisure activities are positively correlated by 2.9% and 3.2%, respectively, with moderate-intensity PA and by 4.5% and 1.8% strenuous-intensity PA. Additionally, high accessibility and availability of basic amenities at a walkable distance and using auxiliary time in social activities are significantly correlated with better physical and social health. Moreover, this study adopted multidisciplinary approaches for better transport policy and a healthier society with a better quality of life.

Healthy Persons

This study examined whether the relationship between metabolic equivalent units (METs) and step-rate is altered in persons with multiple sclerosis (MS) and developed step-rate thresholds for activity intensity for these persons. Participants were 24 persons with MS (20 women; age = 44 ± 12) and 24 healthy persons without MS (20 women; age = 41 ± 11). The MS group was divided using the 12-item MS Walking Scale (MSWS-12) into two walking impairment subgroups: (a) minimal (n = 13, MSWS-12 ≤ 12.5) and (b) mild-moderate (n = 11, MSWS-12 > 12.5). METs were measured with spirometry and step-rate with hand-tally. Steprate, height, group, the step-rate by group interaction, and the square of step-rate significantly predicted METs. At a given height, the step-rate thresholds at 3 and 6 METs were lower for persons with minimal impairment than persons without MS and even lower for persons with mild-moderate impairment. The relationship between METs and step-rate is altered in persons with MS, lowering their step-rate thresholds for activity intensity, especially for persons with MS who have higher levels of walking impairment.
