Background: The purpose of present study was investigated of association between the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and physical activity at work, leisure time and during exercise among over 30 years old male students in Sabzevar.Material and methods: 200 male students over 30 years old of University of Applied Sciences in Sabzevar city randomly were selected. Components associated with the metabolic syndrome were measured. The physical activity levels of the participants in the three domains measured by "the Baecke Physical Activity questionnaire". The mean of each component of the metabolic syndrome in three BMI groups were analyzed by ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis tests. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was used to determine the relationship between metabolic syndrome and its components with physical activity levels.Results: weight, waist circumference, fasting blood glucose, low-density lipoprotein, cholesterol, triglyceride, prevalence of metabolic syndrome significantly were high in overweight and obese subjects than normal weight people but, total physical activity and domains significantly were low (p˂0.05). The risk of increased abdominal obesity, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and triglyceride levels were significantly lower in active and relative active people than inactive people (p˂0.05). The chance of having a metabolic syndrome was significantly higher in inactive people during exercise than active peoples (p˂0.05). Conclusion: it seems that in obese and overweight Sabzevar male students the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its components more than normal weight males. Also, Inactive people are more likely to be exposed to metabolic syndrome and some of its components than active people.

Background: In recent years, although the use of high intensity interval training (HIIT) has been replaced continuous and long term training in patients and athletes, but the practical and field exercise is less used. The aim of this study was to compare the short-term HIIT with RAST, and plyometric exercises on some indices of cardiovascular, anaerobic capacity, and sprint and jumping performance in active female students.
Materials and Methods: For this purpose, 30 female students of physical education voluntarily participated in this study. They were randomly divided into 3 groups: HIIT with RAST, HIIT with plyometric, and control groups. Practicing groups, in addition to their routine physical activity, participated in a training program for 2 weeks, 5 days per week. After 48 hours of last training session, post tests were executed in all 3 groups. Data were analyzed using One-way ANOVA and LSD test.
Results: Our findings showed a significant increase in VO2max, and a significant decrease in sprinting time in HIIT with RAST group compared with HIIT with plyometric group (p˂0.05). In addition, a significant increase in VO2max, peak, average and minimum power on RAST test, as well as a significant decrease in sprinting time was seen in HIIT with RAST group compared with control group. Also, a significant increase in VO2max, height of squat jump and countermovement jump was observed in HIIT with plyometric group compared with control group (p˂0.05).
Conclusion: According to the results obtained, it seems that HIIT with RAST is more efficient than HIIT with plyometric exercises, but both types of training improve VO2max and sprint performance. So, the combination of these two training program may led to a better results.
