“…BMI and body fat percentages among female teachers of different physical activities among different colleges and universities decreased with increased physical activity levels. 6 With the increase in physical activity, the FBG index of the M group was significantly lower than that of the L group (P<0.05). But the difference between the H group and the M group was not statistically significant (Table 1).…”

Introduction: Several studies have shown that insufficient physical activity has gradually become an independent risk factor for chronic diseases such as all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease. Objective: We screened women with different physical activities for cardiovascular risk factors by setting up questionnaires and conducting health examinations. This research can provide some theoretical basis for women's health maintenance. Methods: This study evaluated the level of physical activity, cardiovascular risk factors, and the cardiopulmonary function of urban women aged 40-49. We tested the fundamental physiological indicators of volunteers, as well as blood sugar, blood lipids, blood pressure, etc. Results: Women who practice a great deal of physical activity had lower BMI and body fat percentage. Their physiological indicators were healthier than those with a low amount of physical activity. Conclusion: Physical education programs have a significant effect in improving the physical fitness of the human body. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment results.

“…The type of exercise performed indicated the intensity level of the physical activity. Utilizing the Korean version of the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) [ 26 ] and the Physical Activity Classification Table for Koreans [ 27 ], we classified the exercise type responses into two categories: moderate-intensity physical activity (4.0 METs) and high-intensity physical activity (8.0 METs). Following the World Health Organization (WHO) GPAQ analysis guidelines [ 28 ], we calculated metabolic equivalent work minutes per week (MET-min/week), which is a continuous variable.…”

Purpose: This study explored the factors influencing the health-related life satisfaction of people with disabilities who engaged in physical activity, by age and gender.Methods: A secondary analysis was conducted of the 2020 Third Disability and Life Dynamics Panel (2021). The participants were 2,796 people who performed regular physical activity at least once a week. The variables selected were disability-related factors (degree of disability, multiple disabilities, and type of disability), sociodemographic factors (age, gender, living alone, and mean monthly family income), and health-related factors (amount of physical activity, self-esteem, depression, chronic disease, subjective health, and health-related life satisfaction). Descriptive statistics, the chi-square test, the t-test, two-way analysis of variance, and multiple regression analysis were conducted.Results: In total, 58.0% of participants were male, and 42.0% were female. For age groups, 14.4% were children/adolescents (0–19 years), 42.6% were adults (20–59 years), and 43.0% were seniors (≥60 years). The mean score for health-related life satisfaction was 5.0±2.15 out of 10. Adults and seniors whose level of physical activity met or exceeded recommendations had higher subjective health. Moreover, men had better subjective health than women in seniors. Health-related life satisfaction was higher among those who had higher self-esteem, were not depressed, did not have chronic diseases, and had better subjective health.Conclusion: Gender significantly influenced health-related life satisfaction in children/ adolescents and seniors. Disability-related factors were significant in adults, and health-related factors were significant in all age groups. Therefore, these factors should be considered when designing interventions to promote subjective health and health-related life satisfaction of people with disabilities.

Background: Sedentary life is now considered among the main health risks globally among general population and pregnant women. Premature rupture of membranes is a serious pregnancy condition that is a main cause of newborn morbidity and death globally. There is very limited data about the effect of sedentary behavior during pregnancy on premature rupture of membranes. Aim and objectives: The current study set out to evaluate the impact of sedentary behavior during pregnancy on premature rupture of the membranes in women older than 35. Setting and methods: A cohort prospective study was done on 90 pregnant women at Kasr Al-Ainy Hospitals. Participants were met three times (once per trimester). Routine labs and examinations were done and physical activities and sedentary behavior were assessed using prenatal physical activity questionnaire at each visit then pregnant women were followed up till rupture of membranes happened. Results: A statistically significant difference was observed in the kind and intensity of physical activity among pregnant individuals at the first, second, and third trimesters. Women who experienced premature rupture of membranes demonstrated significantly lower levels of physical activity (household or caregiving, occupational, and low physical activities) and they also showed signs of a more sedentary lifestyle. Conclusion: Sedentary behavior during pregnancy had great effect on premature rupture of membranes in women above 35 years old. Sedentary participants were twice as likely to develop premature rupture of membranes in contrast to individuals who don’t engage in sedentary behavior.
