At the main headquarters of the Venezuelan Social Security Institute (IVSS), in Caracas, a discussion was held on the importance of exercising and how it benefits health.

The activity was directed by the spinning instructor Kilmer Mora together with the instructor Jennifer Albornoz, who addressed the correct way to use the bicycle.

Mora highlighted: “The objective of this talk is to create awareness among people of healthy health because it is better to prevent than to cure, if we suffer from any disease through exercise it helps us to improve a lot.”

He added that practicing cardio on a regular basis “increases our heart rate, increases endurance capacity, it also influences our emotional health, generating a great influence on our levels of personal satisfaction and psychological well-being.”

Health and personal care professionals assured that cardio is one of the most used types of physical exercise to lose weight, the international agency reports.

Physical activity is one of the key tools to obtain good results, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention details that most of the weight is lost by eating fewer calories.

However, they show that it was shown that the only way to maintain weight loss is to carry out physical activities on a regular basis.

Likewise, it emphasizes that weights are not an exclusive tool only to increase muscle mass, but that they can also be included in training focused on weight loss.

“When a person trains with weights regularly, they can perform more intense workouts as their fitness improves. This will have a direct impact on muscle growth, which in turn will generate an increase in your basal metabolism and greater fat burning,” the research highlights.

The study asserted that it is important that before making changes in the routine, the coach, who has the authorized knowledge, is consulted in order to avoid injuries or over-training that may put the person’s health at risk.

Meanwhile, the National Library of Medicine of the United States, reviewed that the necessary time should be dedicated to rest the body, especially when you are beginning to exercise.

Some of the symptoms that warn of excessive physical training include:

• Being unable to perform at the same level.
• Need longer rest periods.
• Feeling tired.
• Be depressed.
• Mood swings or irritability.
• Having trouble sleeping.
• Feeling sore muscles or heaviness in extremities.
• Suffer injuries from overload.
• Lose motivation.
• Get more colds.
• Lose weight.
• feel anxiety

Sitting in your chair all day alters the way your body regulates blood sugar levels and can increase blood pressure.

US researchers have shown that regular short walks spread throughout the workday can counteract these effects.

There is growing evidence that prolonged sitting is harmful to your health, even if you exercise regularly.

Unlike other studies that do one or two activity options, in this research the authors tested five different exercise ‘snacks’:

• One minute of walking following every 30 minutes of sitting
• One minute following 60 minutes
• Five minutes every 30
• Five minutes every 60 and no walking.

Consequently, each of the 11 adults who participated in the experiment went to the laboratory of the professor of behavioral medicine at the American university, Keith Díaz, where they remained seated in an ergonomic chair for eight hours, getting up only for their prescribed activity of walking. on the treadmill or a bathroom break.

The volunteers were between the ages of 40 and 60, and most did not have diabetes or high blood pressure.

In this regard, the researchers ensured that these people did not over or under exercise and regularly measured their blood pressure and blood sugar levels (key indicators of cardiovascular health).

Lowering of blood sugar and blood pressure

During the study, the experts found that the optimal amount of movement was to walk for five minutes every 30 minutes. This was the dose that significantly lowered both blood sugar and blood pressure

Specifically, this activity regimen lowered the blood sugar spike by 58% following eating, compared to sitting all day.

So that’s a really significant number, similar to the reductions that would be seen if someone used insulin injections or diabetes medications to control their sugar.

Because of this, Professor Keith Díaz adds that a brisk five-minute walk every half hour also reduced blood pressure by 4 to 5 mmHg.

This reduction is similar to what you would expect if you exercised daily for six months.

With these results, it is concluded that this simple activity might counteract some of the most harmful effects of prolonged sitting.

The team plans to expand the study and is currently testing another 25 doses of walking and looking at a wider variety of people.

Occupational hazard

When asked what employers would think regarding this recommendation to get up for a five-minute walk every half hour, Díaz replied that employers should recognize that sitting for long periods of time is an occupational hazard.

In addition to the physical health benefits of these short regular walks, it also has positive mental health effects.

Díaz points out that his study offers clear guidelines to employers on how to promote a healthier workplace, ensuring that healthy employees are more efficient and productive.

It should be noted that the results of this work led by professor of medicine, Keith Díaz, are published this week in the American College of Sports Medicine.
