Summary

People with metabolic syndrome (MetS) are characterized by a lower quality of life in terms of reduced vital activity, emotional state, and social functioning. Therefore, the investigator's aim was to determine the impact of low-intensity exercise and psychoeducation on depression symptoms and self-perceived stress in women with MetS.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Low-intensity, general-fitness exercises

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.

BEHAVIORAL

Psychoeducation

A psychoeducation provided by psychotherapist. Twenty minutes of psychoeducation, which contained mini lectures about mental well-being, psychohygiene and healthy dietary habits.
