NIVEL DE ACTIVIDAD FÍSICA MÉDICA Y LA PROMOCIÓN DE LA SALUD CARDIOVASCULAR DE MUJERES

ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Several studies have shown that insufficient physical activity has gradually become an independent risk factor for chronic diseases such as all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease.

Objective:

We screened women with different physical activities for cardiovascular risk factors by setting up questionnaires and conducting health examinations. This research can provide some theoretical basis for women's health maintenance.

Methods:

This study evaluated the level of physical activity, cardiovascular risk factors, and the cardiopulmonary function of urban women aged 40-49. We tested the fundamental physiological indicators of volunteers, as well as blood sugar, blood lipids, blood pressure, etc.

Results:

Women who practice a great deal of physical activity had lower BMI and body fat percentage. Their physiological indicators were healthier than those with a low amount of physical activity.

Conclusion:

Physical education programs have a significant effect in improving the physical fitness of the human body. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment results.
