Abstract

Background/aims: Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) or atherosclerosis is a chronic condition that is incurable and a leading contributor to morbidity and mortality. However, it is easy to prevent ASCVD by managing or preventing risk factors like hyperlipidemia, obesity/overweight, hypertension, and diabetes. This systematic review summarizes and presents current evidence on whether physical exercise could help in reducing ASCVD risk factors.

Methods: A comprehensive search was performed on PubMed, CINAHAL, ProQuest and Google Scholar. The sources were assessed based on their peer-review status, description of methods, unavailability of full texts, publication date (less than seven years), and publication in the English Language. The final search results constituted 19 peer-reviewed articles.

Results: Physical exercise is effective in improving the lipid profile, reducing waist circumference, reducing blood pressure, and lowering blood glucose levels. All types of physical exercise with intensity varying from low to high yield positive outcomes, although there is no consensus on whether the physical exercise program should be implemented for three months or less or on a long-term basis.

Conclusion: Physical exercise prevents and improves the management of hyperlipidemia, obesity/overweight, hypertension, and diabetes, which makes it a good intervention for reducing the risk of ASCVD. However, further studies should be performed to determine the duration within which the intervention should be sustained for optimal results.

体育锻炼对减少动脉粥样硬化常见风险因素的效果:系统回顾
背景/目的:动脉粥样硬化性心血管疾病(ASCVD)或动脉粥样硬化是一种无法治愈的慢性疾病,也是导致发病和死亡的主要因素。然而,通过控制或预防高脂血症、肥胖/超重、高血压和糖尿病等危险因素,预防动脉粥样硬化性心血管疾病是很容易的。本系统性综述总结并介绍了目前有关体育锻炼是否有助于减少急性心血管疾病风险因素的证据:方法:在 PubMed、CINAHAL、ProQuest 和 Google Scholar 上进行了全面检索。根据同行评议状态、方法描述、无法获得全文、出版日期(少于 7 年)和以英语出版等因素对资料来源进行了评估。最终的搜索结果包括 19 篇经同行评审的文章:体育锻炼能有效改善血脂状况、减少腰围、降低血压和血糖水平。各种类型、强度从低到高的体育锻炼都能产生积极的效果,但对于体育锻炼计划应实施三个月或更短时间,还是长期实施,还没有达成共识:结论:体育锻炼可以预防和改善高脂血症、肥胖/超重、高血压和糖尿病,因此是降低急性心血管疾病风险的良好干预措施。然而,应开展进一步研究,以确定应在多长时间内持续进行干预,从而达到最佳效果。

期刊介绍: Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry is a multidisciplinary scientific forum dedicated to advancing the frontiers of basic cellular research. It addresses scientists from both the physiological and biochemical disciplines as well as related fields such as genetics, molecular biology, pathophysiology, pathobiochemistry and cellular toxicology & pharmacology. Original papers and reviews on the mechanisms of intracellular transmission, cellular metabolism, cell growth, differentiation and death, ion channels and carriers, and the maintenance, regulation and disturbances of cell volume are presented. Appearing monthly under peer review, Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry takes an active role in the concerted international effort to unravel the mechanisms of cellular function.
