EFFECTS OF EXERCISE ON GLUCOSE AND LIPID METABOLISM IN ELDERLY PATIENTS

OS EFEITOS DO EXERCÍCIO NO METABOLISMO DE GLICOSE E LIPÍDIOS EM PACIENTES IDOSOS

LOS EFECTOS DEL EJERCICIO EN EL METABOLISMO DE GLUCOSAS Y LÍPIDOS EN PACIENTES ANCIANOS

ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Metabolic syndrome is a condition in which multiple cardiovascular metabolic risk factors gather in the body.

Objective:

To explore the effects of exercise prescription on glucose and lipid metabolism in elderly patients with metabolic syndrome.

Methods:

A total of 85 elderly people were selected from a pension community. The influencing factors of physical activity were analyzed by the Pearson correlation analysis method, Mann-Whitneyu test and Kruskal-Wallish test. Finally, we quantitatively analyzed the influence and path of each factor on the physical activity of the elderly.

Results:

Among the 85 elderly people in nursing homes, 2 cases (1.1%) had a high level of physical activity, 70 cases (38.9%) had a medium level of physical activity, and 51 cases (60.0%) had a low level of physical activity.

Conclusions:

The improvement of glucose and lipid metabolism and healthy body fitness with the prescription of exercises of high oxygen + low resistance and that of exercises of high resistance + low oxygen is better than that with the prescription of exercises of full oxygen and full resistance. The improvement of sleep quality with the prescription of exercise with high oxygen and low resistance was better than that of exercise with complete oxygen, complete resistance and high resistance and low oxygen. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment results.
