Highlights
CopyrightExercise is an established primary and secondary prevention strategy in a variety of populations of all ages, including sedentary and those at high Cardiovascular disease (CVD) risks.[1,2,3,4] Multipronged interventions, the exercise-based, in young people have been suggested as an effective preventative approach in identifying and reducing various CVD risks at an early stage and have shown various degrees of effectiveness.[5,6]The university campus workplace serves as a unique and ideal setting for health promotion mainly because of its exposure of many healthy massages to a large number of young adult students and staff.[7]
Both males and females have demonstrated a high prevalence in the risk factors of Body Mass Index (BMI), %Body Fat percentage (BF) and Blood Pressure (BPS) above the recommended thresholds (BPS>120 mm Hg, BMI>25, %BF>18.9), (Table 1).[27]
Diastolic Blood Pressure (BPD) was within the normal range (BPD
Summary
The university campus workplace serves as a unique and ideal setting for health promotion mainly because of its exposure of many healthy massages to a large number of young adult students and staff.[7] Effective health screening and exercise interventions within a university campus have been shown to increase the awareness of existing sedentary lifestyle risks such as elevated blood glucose, body fat percentage and blood pressure, and reduced cardiorespira-. High prevalence for one or more CVD risk factors have been found amongst Iraqi and Bahraini, American, Hungarian, and Spanish university students.[11,12,13,14]
