| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to identify the effective pattern of non-exercise physical activity for metabolic disease in adults. We observed a lower amount and frequency of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) sessions of ≧30sec in obese subjects when compared to that in non-obese subjects. Dyslipidemic obese subjects tended to demonstrate a low frequency of MVPA sessions lasting from 3 to 5min and a significantly lower frequency of sessions lasting from 5 to 10min when compared to their non-dyslipidemic counterparts. Furthermore, an interventional study has revealed that subjects who underwent prolonged MVPA sessions lasting from 3 to 5min demonstrated an improvement in their plasma lipoprotein abnormalities. Taken together, these results indicate that the accumulation of MVPA in sporadic and short bouts (<10min) may be a key factor in the prevention and improvement of obesity and associated metabolic disease.
