Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical Anatomy and Physiology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective The benefits of physical activity and physical fitness on the health of general population are provided with evidenceWe investigated association of leisure time physical activity with indicators of body composition and metabolic syndrome among less active moderately active and active groupsDesign Analysis of cross sectional self reported physical activity index and measured indicators of body composition and metabolic syndromeSubjects A total of 100 male subjects aged 2550 years who were part of a randomly selected sample and who agreed to participate in the studyMeasurements Self reported measure of physical activity index weight Kg height meter pulse manually blood pressure mercury sphygmomanometer various biochemical parameters ie serum triglycerides and fasting plasma glucose is measured in all the subjectsResults High levels of leisure time physical activity were positively associated with the likelihood of being in the normal body mass index and lower body fat When physical activity score was correlated with the component of metabolic syndrome we observed that there was significantly negative correlation between physical activity score and Systolic and Diastolic blood pressure serum triglycerides fasting blood glucoseConclusion This study shows association between body fat body mass index and leisure time physical activity Low physical activity is associated with increased risk of developing metabolic syndrome These findings will have important public health implications for the development and targeting of weight gain prevention strategies and life style modification may be beneficial in avoiding the risk of metabolic syndrome and its consequencesKeywords Body composition Metabolic syndrome Physical activity
