Low-intensity Exercise in Metabolic Syndrome

"24 session of low-intensity, general-fitness exercises (12 weeks, twice a week)~A single session of exercise lasted 40 minutes and consisted of 42 low-intensity, general-fitness exercises. Perception of effort was monitored using the Borg 6-20 rating the perceived exertion (RPE).~Thirty-three exercises were done sitting down, seven standing, and two in the hand-and-knees position. The exercises were classified as either aerobic, musculo-articular, or stabilising. The aerobic portion served as a general warm-up for the subsequent exercises, and the musculo-articular section focused on strengthening muscles and enhancing the mobility of joints in the upper limbs, the lower limbs and the torso. Stabilising exercises were designed to improve the stability of the body and to augment spatio-visual coordination."
