Description

Purpose: Our hospital prepared an exercise class for the prevention of metabolic and locomotive syndrome. The members of this class included nutritionists, physical therapists, health nurses, and health fitness programmers. This study was performed to establish an efficient exercise class.<br> Subjects and methods: The subjects included 13,697 health examinees of our institution (7,860 men and 5,837 women). We compared the physical activity using blood and physical examination data obtained through health examinations. The physical activity was determined based on the standard lifestyle questionnaires used by the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare of Japan.<br> Results: The waist circumference, body mass index, and blood pressure (systolic and diastolic blood pressure) were higher in participants with active exercise behavior (n=2,518) and lower in the group with higher physical activity (n=4,901) when compared to those who do not exercise (n=11,179) and who have less physical activity (n=8,777), respectively. Regarding the blood examination data, glucose, ALT, AST, and HDL-C levels were higher and the γGTP level was lower in the group with active exercise compared to those who do not exercise. However, glucose, γGTP, LDL, and TG levels were lower and the HDL level was higher in the group with higher physical activity when compared to lower physical activity.<br> Conclusion: Hematologic data and physical examination data were better in the group with higher physical activity than in the active exercise group. The exercise class for the prevention of metabolic syndrome should be managed based on scientific data. The results of the present study will be useful for the preparation of an efficient exercise class.
