“…Aerobic workouts such as brisk walking, jogging, interval training, soccer, swimming, and cycling are some of the techniques to increase one's VO2 max (11) . People who live a sedentary lifestyle have a difficult time exercising since it exhausts them or takes a long time (12) . Furthermore, during the school day, the sitting position is the most common.…”

Background and Objectives: Physical inactivity is on the ascent in today's technology environment, and it is one of the main risk factors for noncommunicable diseases and death worldwide. It raises the risk of a broad range of lifestyle diseases. Physical inactivity is the world's fourth largest cause of death. The use of tech gadgets and transportation infrastructure may lead to a higher level of physical inactivity in children and adolescents, which has an impact on their physical fitness and academic performance. To encourage physical exercise and fitness, early intervention is required. Therefore, this study was undertaken to determine the effect of brisk walking on VO2 Max, agility, and flexibility in physically inactive children Methodology: Thirty subjects were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, then divided in to two groups. Group A (Experimental group = 15) received warm up exercise, brisk walking and cool down exercises. Group B (control group = 15) does not receive any exercise. Exercise programme was held for 3 days per week for 40 minutes for 6 weeks. Pre and post measurements were taken using queen college step test for VO2 Max, agility t test and modified sit and reach test for flexibility. Results & Discussion: Paired t test is used to analyze the results within the group and independent t test were used to analyze the results between the group. The significant level kept at p ≤ 0.05. From pre to post six week intervention, a statistically significant changes were observed in all outcome measures. In paired t test VO2 Max, flexibility and agility expressed significant improvement in experimental group. In case of independent t test all the three parameters of the experimental group expressed significant improvement compared to control group. Conclusion: The study concluded that brisk walking exercise is effective in improving VO2 Max, agility and flexibility in physically inactive children. The experimental group shows significant improvement in all three parameters compared to control group. Keywords: Brisk walking, VO2 Max, agility, Flexibility, Physical inactivity, Queen college step test, modified sit and reach test, Agility t test.

Background The life expectancy of individuals with schizophrenia in the United States is 20% shorter than that of the general population owing to cardiovascular disease (CVD). It is crucial to identify the factors that reduce CVD risk in these individuals. Objective In this systematic review, we examined the factors associated with CVD in people with schizophrenia. Methods We searched 3 electronic databases for English articles published before April 2023. Investigators assessed the factors associated with 2 cardiovascular health outcomes among people with schizophrenia: the 10-year coronary heart disease (CHD)/CVD risk and peak oxygen uptake (VO2Peak/max). Results We retrieved 17 studies from the search. Investigators examined factors affecting 10-year CHD/CVD risk in 11 studies and VO2Peak/max in 6 studies among people with schizophrenia. We found that individuals who had low metabolic symptoms (ie, hypertension and hyperglycemia), did not smoke, engaged in continuous CVD risk assessments, had a shorter duration of the diagnosis and hospitalization, and were of normal weight had a lower 10-year CHD/CVD risk. Furthermore, individuals who engaged in specific physical activity had a higher VO2Peak/max. Finally, those taking antipsychotic medications had a higher 10-year CHD/CVD risk and a lower VO2Peak/max. Conclusions The CVD risk factors observed in the general population are common among people with schizophrenia. When these risk factors are controlled, the 10-year CHD/CVD risk and VO2Peak/max of these individuals may be improved. Given the elevated CVD risk associated with antipsychotic medications, future researchers should examine modifying CVD risk factors to mitigate the additional risks associated with medication use in this population.
