Programa de ejercicio físico para disminuir el índice de riesgo cardiometabólico de un funcionario de la Universidad Politécnica Salesiana Sede Cuenca con obesidad tipo II

Abstract

Cardiometabolic risk and type II obesity represent global public health challenges, affecting the world population, generating negative impacts on quality of life and sustainability of health systems. Sedentary lifestyles, obesity, body mass index, blood pressure, and lipid profile are influenced by sedentary lifestyles in administrative settings. Several studies show that physical exercise programs adapted to individual characteristics improve these risk factors and promote well-being. However, psychological, social and educational barriers persist that limit adherence to these practices. The present research focuses on designing and evaluating a physical exercise program for a specific case of the Salesian Polytechnic University, Cuenca, with the objective of reducing cardiometabolic risk factors in an individual with type II obesity, based on scientific evidence to address this problem.
