Özet: Background: Metabolic syndrome is defined by a constellation of interconnected physiological, biochemical, clinical, and metabolic factors that directly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus and all causes mortality. The present study was conducted to assess changes in risk factors of metabolic syndrome. Materials & Methods: 80 subjects in age ranged 20-40 years of both genders were included. Height, weight, body mass index and various risk factors for metabolic syndrome such as waist circumference, blood pressure, fasting blood sugar, triglycerides and high-density lipoprotein were assessed at baseline and after one year. International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was used to objectively assess physical activity levels of the participants. Results: Total score of walking (MET-minutes/week) was 452.6 and 832.9, total moderate activity (MET-minutes/week) was 432.5 and 625.4, total vigorous activity (MET-minutes/week) was 80.4 and 124.6, total physical activity (MT-minutes/week) was 1214.5 and 1854.2, sitting total (minutes/week) was 3650.2 and 2652.8 and average sitting minutes/day was 524.0 and 375.2. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: There was reduction in waist circumference and triglyceride level over 1 year.
