Associations of Physical Fitness and Physical Activity with Metabolic Syndrome in Korean

IntroductionMetabolic syndrome (MS) is strongly associated with cardiovascular diseases and diabetes but can be prevented with regular physical activity. This study aimed to assess the impact of a physical fitness training programme on MS among military personnel.MethodsThis retrospective observational study included volunteer army soldiers who underwent annual health examinations between 2011 and 2014. In 2011, the reformed physical fitness training programme and physical fitness test were introduced to the participants. MS evaluation and physical fitness performances were evaluated before and after implementing the training programme using a mixed-effects model and generalised estimating equation, adjusted for sex, age and smoking.ResultsFrom 2011 to 2014, 1720 soldiers underwent the annual health examination. In 2011, before the fitness programme, 246 soldiers (14.3%) had MS. After implementation, decreases in blood pressure and fasting glucose levels were observed and maintained for 3 years. Running performance was negatively correlated to triglycerides (ß=−11.37; p<0.001) and waist circumference (ß=−0.42; p<0.001) and positively correlated to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels (ß=2.14; p<0.001). The severity of MS was reduced following introduction of the physical fitness programme.ConclusionsMS and its components improved after introducing the reformed fitness programme, with running performance proving to be most relevant to MS. Clinicians should encourage increased physical activity to prevent MS among military personnel.

A very brief history of Portuguese twin research in sport and human movement sciences is presented. Recruitment procedures, zygosity determination, and phenotypes are given for twins and their parents from the mainland, and Azores and Madeira archipelagos. Preliminary findings are mostly related to physical activity, health-related physical fitness, gross motor coordination, neuromotor development, and metabolic syndrome traits.

Kegiatan Program Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk: (1) mendapatkan informasi tentang profil tingkat kebugaran lansia binaan Ikatan Dokter Indonesia (IDI) dan Ikatan Istri Dokter Indonesia (IIDI) Yogyakarta, (2) mendapatkan informasi tentang faktor risiko sindrom metabolik bagi lansia binaan Ikatan Dokter Indonesia (IDI) dan Ikatan Istri Dokter Indonesia (IIDI) Yogyakarta, (3) memberikan pengetahuan bagi lansia binaan Ikatan Dokter Indonesia (IDI) dan Ikatan Istri Dokter Indonesia (IIDI) Yogyakarta tentang pentingnya melakukan aktivitas fisik dan mengetahui parameter sindrom metabolik. Khalayak sasaran utama dari kegiatan ini adalah Kelompok Lansia Teratai Nogotirto, Kelurahan Nogotirto, Kecamatan Gamping Sleman berjumlah 118 orang. Metode kegiatan PPM dilakukan dengan beberapa kegiata meliputi: cek kesehatan, tes pengukuran kebugaran jasmani bagi lansia, serta evaluasi dan penyuluhan. Cek kesehatan meliputi pengukuran tekanan darah, lingkar perut, trigliserida, HDL dan glukosa darah puasa. Penyuluhan diberikan setelah para lansia mendapatkan hasil dari cek kesehatan. Metode penyuluhan dilakukan agar para lansia mempunyai motivasi untuk menjaga kesehatan dan terhindar dari sindrom metabolik yang dapat memicu munculnya penyakit degeneratif. Tes pengukuran kebugaran jasmani meliputi jalan selama 6 menit, fleksibilitas, keseimbangan. Pengisian kuesioner dilakukan untuk mengetahui seberapa penting manfaat kegiatan PPM ini bagi para lansia. Berdasarkan hasil cek kesehatan diperoleh data bahwa sejumlah 78 (66,1%) lansia terindikasi sindrom metabolik. Dan dari sejumlah 78 lansia, 98,71% (77 lansia) yang terindikasi sindrom metabolik adalah perempuan. Dari data lansia laki-laki diperoleh rata-rata usia 61,5 tahun, dengan norma normal jalan 6 menit lansia laki-laki dengan usia tersebut adalah 610 – 735 yards (558-672 meter) dan norma normal jalan 6 menit lansia wanita dengan usia tersebut adalah 545 – 660 yards (498-603 meter). Jadi kesimpulan dari tes kebugaran lansia, baik laki-laki maupun wanita mempunyai tingkat kebugaran yang di atas rata-rata (above average). Physical Activity Counseling and Screening Parameter Metabolic Syndrome in the Elderly PopulationAbstractThe Community Service Program activity aims to: (1) obtain information on the profile of the fitness level of the elderly under the guidance of the Indonesian Doctors Association (IDI) and the Indonesian Doctors' Wives Association (IIDI) Yogyakarta, (2) obtain information about the risk factors for metabolic syndrome for the elderly under the guidance of the Association Indonesian Doctors (IDI) and the Indonesian Doctors 'Wives Association (IIDI) Yogyakarta, (3) provides knowledge for the elderly assisted by the Indonesian Doctors Association (IDI) and the Indonesian Doctors' Wives Association (IIDI) Yogyakarta about the importance of physical activity and knowing the parameters of metabolic syndrome. The main target audience for this activity is the Elderly Lotus Group Nogotirto, Kelurahan Nogotirto, Sleman Gamping District, with a total of 118 people. The PPM activity method is carried out with several activities including: health check, physical fitness measurement test for the elderly, as well as evaluation and counseling. Health checks include measurements of blood pressure, stomach circumference, triglycerides, HDL and fasting blood glucose. Counseling is given after the elderly get the results of a health check. The counseling method is done so that the elderly have motivation to maintain health and avoid the metabolic syndrome which can trigger the emergence of degenerative diseases. Physical fitness measurement tests include walking for 6 minutes, flexibility, balance. The questionnaire was filled out to find out how important the benefits of PPM activities are for the elderly. Based on the results of health checks obtained data that a number of 78 (66.1%) elderly indicated metabolic syndrome. And of the 78 elderly, 98.71% (77 elderly) who indicated metabolic syndrome were women. From the data of elderly men obtained an average age of 61.5 years, with the normal norm of walking 6 minutes elderly men with that age is 610 - 735 meters (558-672 meters) and the normal norm of walking 6 minutes elderly women with age these are 545 - 660 yards (498-603 meters). So the conclusion of the elderly fitness test, both men and women have a fitness level that is above average (above average).

AbstractWe report a summary of Portuguese families and siblings research under the umbrella of the Portuguese Healthy Family Project. Families lived in mainland Portugal, as well as in the Azores and Madeira islands. All samples comprise children and adolescents (9–20 years) and their parents (27–57 years). Recruitment procedures and phenotypes were detailed. Familial resemblance in body shape and composition, metabolic syndrome, physical fitness, physical activity and sedentary behaviors are presented, as well as future research avenues.
