Effect of vigorous physical activity on blood lipid and glucose

Abstract

The aim of the study is to investigate how the participation of vigorous physical activities in the health examination contributes to blood lipid and blood glucose. A total of 56,810 workers from the Ulsan University Hospital in Ulsan, Subjects were tested for health checkups from February to November in 2016. The subject is those who does not have medical history, current ailments, and medication histories, and selected those who conducted the study of subjects tested to research. And this study did not consider their drinking and smoking. The final selected population was 11,557 and categorized as a vigorous physical activity of the health survey items. In this study, the group participated by the vigorous physical activity activities, group 1 (n= 70) had more than 6 days of vigorous physical activity, group 2 (n= 2,960) is 3 to 5 days of vigorous physical activity, the group 3 (n= 7,389) is 1 to 2 days of vigorous physical activity. The group 4 (n= 1,138) were classified as those who did not perform vigorous physical activity. To achieve the purpose of the study, the questionnaire examined blood lipid and blood glucose, using questions related to physical activity related to health examination in the Ulsan University Hospital. We obtained the mean and standard deviation for each group and conducted the one-way analysis of variance as an independent variable. Post hoc is least significant difference test and significant level is 0.05. Vigorous physical activity more than 3 days of participation had a positive affect high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride. But participation in vigorous physical activity did not affect blood glucose.

Vigorous physical activity provides protection against all‐cause deaths among adults patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)

“…These findings validate the previous data outside NAFLD and highlight the health benefits of vigorous PA for improved survival. 18,20,23,25,26 Additionally, our sensitivity analysis confirmed that it is the presence of vigorous activity where at least 50% of PA time is spent as vigorous had a protective effect.…”

“…These benefits include improvement in lipid profiles, CVD risk factors, CVD mortality, improvement in mental health and all-cause mortality. [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] However, to our knowledge, the specific impact of vigorous PA among adults with NAFLD has not been measured, nor has specific guidance on activity intensity relative to total volume been proposed. Therefore, we investigated the association of the proportion of vigorous activity with all-cause mortality among adults with NAFLD using a nationally representative sample of the U.S. population.…”

“…In particular, the intensity of PA has been shown to promote numerous health benefits where vigorous activity has more benefits than those obtained when only participating in moderate PA. These benefits include improvement in lipid profiles, CVD risk factors, CVD mortality, improvement in mental health and all‐cause mortality 18–27 …”

Hours lying down per day, as a proxy for sedentary behaviour and risk of diabetes in young and middle-aged adults in Norway: an 11-year follow-up of the HUNT study

“…High intensity training has been shown to increase glucose uptake during and post exercise 25 37 38. Engaging in vigorous physical activity also provides a better lipid profile that may help to prevent insulin resistance 39 40. Therefore, highly active individuals may have an advantage with higher insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism during longer hours lying down to prevent or delay the onset of diabetes.…”

Relationship Between Physical Activity and Physical Fitness in Obese, Insulin-Dependent Diabetics with Hypertension

“…Physical activity at various stages of life plays a valuable role, from ensuring mobility, enabling recreation and maintaining social interaction, to the possibility of maintaining everyday activity and independence at an elderly age. Regular exercise and PA normalise glycaemia and positively affect the lipid pro le [9], body composition, the functions of blood vessels, lung function, immune system and cardiac output [10]. On the contrary, I-Min Lee et al [11] indicated that physical inactivity (which was de ned as insu cient PA) causes 6-10% of several major non-communicable diseases, including coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and breast and colon cancers.…”
