Women on the move are healthy women - Correlation between physical activity and health  indicators

Abstract

It is well described in the literature that physical activity (PA) contributes to the maintenance of health in general, and especially to the prevention of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The aim of the present study was to verify the association between PA and CVD. Women (n=325) between 18 and 77 years old were volunteers for this study. They responded to a 3-day physical activity recall (3DPAR), had blood pressure affection and blood collected for analysis of blood lipids. The results showed that there is an inverse association between the amount of PA performed and the risk indexes for diseases, that is, the more activity, the lower the risk.

“…For instance, Nelson Kautzner Marques Junior, in his study "Specificity Principle Applied in Volleyball", 13 highlighted how targeted training can effectively influence specific muscle groups, such as those in the abdominal belt, which are crucial in volleyball. Additionally, Marco Machado, in his 2022 work, 14 linked physical activity with cardiovascular health, underscoring the importance of effective respiratory and abdominal functionality for disease prevention.…”
