Abstract

Healthy lifestyle habits are a group of actions that help prevent the onset of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Materials and methods: 116 apparently healthy subjects were evaluated, impedance test was applied with the Tanita Iron Man® equipment, prehensile strength test with Takei® equipment. Statistical analysis was performed with Jamovi 2.2.5 Solid® Software. Results: Descriptive of the biological, morphological, and functional components are reported, in means, standard deviation, median, minimum, and maximum. Graphs are presented for the variables that determine metabolic and cardiovascular risk. Conclusions: It is found that a considerable number of 30% of the population applying to the Physical Activity Technologist program presents cardiovascular and metabolic risk
