THE ROLE OF EXERCISE IN PREVENTING CHRONIC DISEASES: CURRENT EVIDENCE AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Abstract

Regular exercise helps to enhance health outcomes and lower risk factors, making it a crucial element in the prevention of chronic diseases. By being physically active, people can improve their general health and delay the onset of a number of chronic illnesses. For understanding the relationship between increased physical activity or decreased physical inactivity and favorable health outcomes, observational studies are the main source of information. We will look for systematic analyses of randomized controlled trials with a main emphasis on outcomes linked to diseases in the Cochrane Database of systematic studies. Evaluation will be limited to those in a few key chronic conditions. Preventing chronic illness and achieving better results in the management or treatment of chronic illness are the main outcomes of interest. For each chronic condition (such as the control of glucose in diabetes or any change in hypertension blood pressure), these results will be summarized and displayed. The design and implementation of chronic conditions, physical exercise illness conditions, and adverse physical activity-related events are of secondary interest. Our findings should help decision-makers, guideline organizations, and academics identify the most effective physical activity programs for major chronic disease management and prevention. Exercise and physical activity (PA) offers a non-invasive approach to the management of chronic disorders. More physiological, biochemical, and molecular data on the positive effects of PA and exercise on health should constitute a primary focus of future studies.
