 note = {application/pdf, INTRODUCTION: Prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) has become a major health problem in Japan and developed countries. Regular physical activity (PA) contributes to improved MS risk factors. Although group- or home-based PA intervention was often conducted, it is unknown which PA interventions were more effective. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of these two interventions in Japanese subjects with MS or several MS risk factors.
METHODS: Seventy three subjects with MS or several MS risk factors were selected either Group-based PA Intervention (GPI: N=40) or Home-based PA Intervention (HPI, N=33). Finally, the results were analyzed for 67 subjects (GPI: n=38, HPI: n=32) at post-intervention (after 12-weeks). Both interventions had 12 week duration. All participants received two or three face-to-face counseling, one behavioral feedback letter, and lecture about health and exercise information. The behavioral goals in both groups were to increase daily walking step. Subjects in GPI have a 10 exercise and recreation classes for 60-minutes. The main outcome measures were body weight, body mass index (BMI), percent fat (%FAT), waist-hip ratio (WHR), and body compositions.
RESULTS: Program completion rates were 95.0% in GPI and 97.0% in HPI. After 12-weeks, participants in both groups lost their weight, BMI, %FAT, and WHR. But weight loss in GPI was superior to that in HPI. Participants in both groups increased walking steps, endurance fitness, and lean body mass (P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: Compared to home-based PA intervention, group-based PA intervention had short-term beneficial effects on weight loss. Especially, effect of weight loss in group-based PA intervention may be superior to that in home-based PA intervention., この論文は『研究論文集－教育系・文系の九州地区国立大学間連携論文集－』Vol.4, No.1(2010)に査読を経て受理されたものである。},
