“…34 Moderate to vigorous physical activity serves as a protective factor and can reduce metabolic syndromes, including diabetes mellitus. 35,36 Dietary improvements, mainly using foods with low energy density and high diet quality, have been found to be essential in the treatment of diabetes and widely adopted by physicians and patients. Even modification of a single component, such as lowering salt intake, can relieve diabetic microvascular complications.…”

“…Performing regular physical activity (PA) is not only beneficial for the prevention of several chronic non-communicable diseases [1], such as cardiovascular diseases [2,3] and metabolic syndrome [4,5], but it also promotes cognitive and psychological health [6][7][8] and could increase job satisfaction and overall quality of life [9]. Individuals achieving high levels of PA express increased self-esteem and report lower stress levels [10].…”

BACKGROUND: Sedentary behavior has been recognized as an important risk factor in the development of several chronic diseases. Active workstations have been proposed as an effective countermeasure. While such interventions likely reduce sedentary time, concerns regarding the effects on work performance and cognitive function remain. OBJECTIVE: To use meta-analyis to critically evaluate the work performance and cognitive function effects of cycle and treadmill desks as workplace interventions against sedentary behavior. METHODS: In February 2018, a data search was conducted. Parallel and crossover design studies evaluating workplace interventions compared to conventional seated conditions were included. RESULTS: Eighteen studies met the inclusion criteria. Both interventions reduced typing speed (cycling: SMD =-0.35, p = 0.04; treadmill: SMD =-0.8, p < 0.001). The number of typing errors significantly increased during cycling interventions (SMD = 0.39, p = 0.004). No effect was found for the selective attention tests. However, there was an improvement in recall ability (SMD = 0.68, p = 0.003). CONCLUSION: Cycle and treadmill desks affect work performance, but most likely not due to a decrease in cognitive function. Further research is needed to determine whether the degree of work performance decline is acceptable, considering the many positive effects of implementing active workstations in the office environment.

“…A moderate to high level of physical activity in middle-aged women decreases blood pressure and the overall level of triglycerides together with increasing beneficial HDL cholesterol; it also decreases the level of glucose in the blood and prevents excessive weight gain, which makes physical activity a crucial protective factor against metabolic syndrome [8]. Intense and frequent physical activity of middle-aged women has a beneficial influence on muscle strength and helps to protect bone density [9].…”

To determine the impact of physical activity and fitness on the level of physical activity barriers (kinesiophobia) in women of perimenopausal age, the study included 105 women between the ages of 48 and 58. A Baecke questionnaire was used to evaluate physical activity and a modified Fullerton test was used to evaluate the fitness level. The level of kinesiophobia was assessed using the Kinesiophobia Causes Scale questionnaire.A low level of habitual physical activity has a negative impact on the values of Biological Domain (r = –0.581), Psychological Domain (r = –0.451), and on the Kinesiophobia Cause Scale total score (r = –0.577). Lower physical activity expressed by a lower score in the Fullerton test also has a negative impact on the level of kinesiophobia. Upper body flexibility (r = –0.434) has the strongest influence on the Biological Domain, whereas upper body strength (r = –0.598) has the greatest impact on the Psychological Domain. A low level of upper body strength also has the greatest impact on the Kinesiophobia Cause Scale total score (r = –0.507).Low levels of physical activity and fitness in women of perimenopausal age favour kinesiophobic attitudes and thereby increase the level of barriers against undertaking physical activity.

Moderate physical activity level as a protective factor against metabolic syndrome in middle‐aged and older women

Abstract: Appropriate strategies should be developed to encourage middle-aged and older women across different socio-demographic backgrounds to engage in moderate or high levels of physical activity to reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome.
