The Effect of Regular Exercise and its Duration on Metabolic Parameters.
Regular exercise is crucial for regulating metabolic parameters. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the effects of regular exercise duration on glycaemic and metabolic parameters, insulin resistance, and atherogenic indices in individuals attending a single-family health centre. A total of 403 individuals were divided into three groups based on their exercise status as Group A with no regular exercise, Group B with <150 minutes, and Group C with ≥150 minutes of regular excercise per week. ⋯ Other glycaemic and metabolic parameters, insulin-resistance, and atherogenic indices were similar among the three groups. The results of this study indicated that subjects with higher weight, lower HDL levels, and Type 2 diabetes mellitus were those doing regular exercise in the advised duration per week. Key Words: Exercise, Duration, Lifestyle, Insulin-resistance, Atherogenic index.

Meta AnalysisEffects of Physical Activity on Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Levels in Obese Metabolic Syndrome Patients: A Meta-Analysis.
Metabolic syndrome is a combination of multiple disorders that predispose an individual to risk of diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), cerebrovascular accidents (CVAs), and insulin-resistance. Hypothyroidism is the most prevalent metabolic disorder causing obesity, followed by hypercortisolism and hypogonadism. Hence, this study aimed to determine the effects of various exercises on thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels in obese patients with metabolic syndrome. ⋯ It was concluded that although a pooled moderate effect of training on TSH levels was observed when all the studies were analysed using a continuous measure analysis SMD model, an individual analysis of the studies revealed a mild effect, with many studies also revealing the negative impact of training on TSH levels. Nonetheless, exercise-based intervention strategies are safe and effective as a management strategy for hypothyroidism and obesity due to hypothyroidism. Key Words: Thyroid hormone, Exercise, Metabolic syndrome, Obesity, TSH level.
