Daily 7500 steps or 15 minutes of moderate to intense physical activity: Is it sufficient for the secondary prevention for ischaemic heart disease?
SCIENCE & SPORTS(2021)
摘要
The use of pedometers is becoming increasingly common in physical activity (PA) interventions. However, the minimum number of steps required to improve control of risk factors remains uncertain. Objective. - To determine whether individuals with ischemic heart disease who take an average of at least 7500 steps per day or more than 15 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) (>= 3.6 METs) per day over a one-year period have better control of risk factors for CVD than those who do not meet these targets. Method. - A comparative descriptive study in which PA was measured with a pedometer (Digiwalker NL-1000) worn at the waist from morning to evening for 7 days. This measurement was taken 5 times at 3-month intervals. The sample consisted of 20 men and 16 women (66 +/- 6 years). After 12 months, averages of daily steps and minutes spent doing a MVPA were calculated for each participant. Those with an average of > 7500 steps were classified as STEP+ and those with an average of > 15 minutes of MVPA were classified as MIN+. Clinical risk factor indicators were measured 3 times at 6-month intervals. Results. - The STEP+ (n = 12) and STEP-(n = 23) groups performed 5040 +/- 1522 and 9128 +/- 1695 steps respectively on average over 12 months. A significant difference was observed between these groups for waist circumference (Delta 11.2 +/- 3.4 cm), BMI (Delta 4.7 +/- 1.7 kg/m(2)), triglycerides (Delta 0.41 +/- 0.14 mmol/L), and non-HDL cholesterol (Delta 0.46 +/- 0.2 mmol/L). The mean daily minutes of MVPA in the MIN- and MIN+ groups were 8.0 +/- 3.9 min and 22.8 +/- 5.3 min, respectively. Waist circumference was also improved in the MIN+ group. Conclusion. - People with ischemic heart disease who performed 7500 steps/day or 15 min/day of MVPA appear to have better control of certain risk factors such as obesity and dyslipidemia. These results encourage patients with ischemic heart disease to maintain a daily physical activity of 7500 steps/day or 15 min of PVD to reduce their cardiovascular risk.
