Nutrition and Exercise Intervention Study
Summary
The purpose of the present study was to clarify the effects of increase in physical activity on incidence and surrogate marker of cardiovascular diseases. The working hypothesis of the present study was that the physical activity to satisfy the Japanese guideline of Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare is effective for the primary prevention of the lifestyle-related disease.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Exercise
Physical activity which is usually regular and done with the intention of improving or maintaining PHYSICAL FITNESS or HEALTH. Contrast with PHYSICAL EXERTION which is concerned largely with the physiologic and metabolic response to energy expenditure.
Physical Endurance
The time span between the beginning of physical activity by an individual and the termination because of exhaustion.
Motor Activity
The physical activity of a human or an animal as a behavioral phenomenon.
Sedentary Lifestyle
Usual level of physical activity that is less than 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity on most days of the week.
Activity Cycles
Bouts of physical irritability or movement alternating with periods of quiescence. It includes biochemical activity and hormonal activity which may be cellular. These cycles are shorter than 24 hours and include sleep-wakefulness cycles and the periodic activation of the digestive system.

Interaction between leptin and leisure-time physical activity and development of hypertension.
Abstract Objective. The mechanisms by which overweight and physical inactivity lead to hypertension are complex. Leptin, an adipocyte-derived hormone, has been linked with hypertension. We wanted to...
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Physical inactivity is considered to be the strongest individual risk factor for poor health in Sweden. It has been shown that increased physical activity can reduce hypertension...
Association between physical activity and blood pressure in prepubertal children.
Elevated blood pressure (BP) during childhood and adolescence increases the risk of hypertension in later life. Although physical activity is known to positively moderate BP, data regarding this relat...
