Relationship between metabolic syndrome and physical capacity

Aim of the study: To determine overweight and obese people with physical capacity in relation to the metabolic syndrome indicators. Study methods: survey, nutrition table, physical measurements, spirometry, pulse calculation, ergometry, dynamometry. Results: persons with metabolic syndrome had higher blood glucose and triglycerides level in blood, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, increased waist to hip ratio. Also, the increasing load test showed that the group without metabolic syndrome had better physical data than group without metabolic syndrome. Conclusions: 1. Group with metabolic syndrome showed that blood pressure (systolic and diastolic), triglycerides, fasting glucose and waist to hip ratio were greater whereas high-density lipoprotein in the blood were lesser than the group without metabolic syndrome, although the body mass index was not significantly different between the groups. 2. There was no significant difference between the metabolic syndrome group and group without metabolic syndrome in physical activity indicators. In addition, we found no significant difference between the metabolic syndrome group and group without metabolic syndrome food caloric intake. 3. Results showed that people with metabolic syndrome oxygen consumption during rest and exercise as well as the heart rate were significantly higher than those without metabolic syndrome, although the group without metabolic syndrome did not develop greater exercise capacity. 4. We found no significant difference between metabolic syndrome group and group without metabolic syndrome between hand grip and knee extensors strength, equated per kilogram of body weight
