Overview
- Regular aerobic exercises are thought to beneficial in decreasing the risks for the development of metabolic syndrome.
- Current guidelines suggest for regular moderate-intensity physical activity for at least 30 minutes continuously at least 5 days/week, ideally all days in the week.
- A recent study indicated that cardiovascular exercise was therapeutic in approximately 31% of cases. The most probable benefit was to triglyceride levels, with 43% showing improvement; conversely 91% of test subjects did not exhibit a decrease in fasting plasma glucose or insulin resistance.[1]
Many other studies have supported the value of increased physical activity along with restricted calories in metabolic syndrome.
