The Effect of Regular Exercise and its Duration on Metabolic Parameters.
Regular exercise is crucial for regulating metabolic parameters. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the effects of regular exercise duration on glycaemic and metabolic parameters, insulin resistance, and atherogenic indices in individuals attending a single-family health centre. A total of 403 individuals were divided into three groups based on their exercise status as Group A with no regular exercise, Group B with <150 minutes, and Group C with ≥150 minutes of regular excercise per week. ⋯ Other glycaemic and metabolic parameters, insulin-resistance, and atherogenic indices were similar among the three groups. The results of this study indicated that subjects with higher weight, lower HDL levels, and Type 2 diabetes mellitus were those doing regular exercise in the advised duration per week. Key Words: Exercise, Duration, Lifestyle, Insulin-resistance, Atherogenic index.
