Association of the “Weekend Warrior” and Other Physical Activity Patterns with Metabolic Syndrome in the South Korean Population

“…A previous study on the relationship between metabolic syndrome and related diseases and physical activity patterns among the China rural adults was studied [ 36 ]. Our study included a group that insufficient active group as an inactive group, but in a previous study, they studied them separately.…”

“…It is also a cross-sectional study of rural adults over a short period of one year. Due to these differences, our study results may be slightly different, but the conclusion is that the “weekend warrior” who engaged in moderate to vigorous physical activity for high intensity was associated with a reduced incidence of metabolic syndrome [ 36 ]. In addition, this study focused on diseases such as hypertension and diabetes associated with metabolic syndrome [ 36 ].…”

In addition, this study focused on diseases such as hypertension and diabetes associated with metabolic syndrome [ 36 ]. In support of this study, the mechanism between physical activity and metabolic syndrome is also associated with obesity followed by hypertension and diabetes [ 36 , 37 , 38 ].…”

In support of this study, the mechanism between physical activity and metabolic syndrome is also associated with obesity followed by hypertension and diabetes [ 36 , 37 , 38 ]. There are mechanisms by which physical activity reverses diabetes-related muscle atrophy, improving metabolic function, and reducing inflammation, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial damage [ 37 ].…”

The Association between Weekend Warrior Physical Activity Patterns and Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in Korean Adults

“…have not been consistent. A number of studies have shown a beneficial effect of weekend warrior PA patterns on the risk of all-cause mortality, CVD mortality, cancer mortality, and cardiometabolic risk factors [19][20][21][22] .…”
