THE INFLUENCE OF SPORTS AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY ON THE METABOLIC SYNDROME: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Metabolic Syndrome (MS) is one of the most significant causes of world death rate, associating several abnormalities: increased values of blood pressure, blood glucose, lipid metabolism disorders and obesity, or large abdominal circumference. In an attempt to decrease the burden of this pandemic disease by implementing more effective prevention and treatment strategies, numerous clinical trials have been conducted in order to establish a proper therapeutic course, also by using physical activity as the central link to treatment. Given this background, we have analysed the recently published data, strictly focusing on the significance and benefits of the physical activity over patients with MS. The conclusions that have emerged have highlighted that sport and physical activity play a major role in the management of the Metabolic Syndrome, both in improving all components as well as in some cases determining its reversibility
