METHODS AND DEVICE ARRANGEMENT FOR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY THRESHOLDS PROMOTING FAT AND CHOLESTEROL METABOLISM IN HIGH RISK SUBJECTS

摘要

Method and device determine the threshold values for the volume and intensity of physical activity or the lowest levels that reduce risk factors in persons who suffer from disorders of sugar and lipid metabolism and are overweight. The method characterized in that the device registers a person's daily physical activity, compares it with the measured threshold levels and informs by its own or outside screen, if the volume and/or intensity of the physical activity has been sufficient to prevent the effects of disease risk factors. Based on this persons, who have disorders in sugar and lipid metabolism are able to perform physical activity maintaining health. The invention described herein demonstrates as a novel observation that even the low intensity physical activity will restrain risk factors related to cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and obesity.
