Correlation between Aerobic Exercise and Improvement of Physical Sub-Health Based on Multiple Linear Regression

Abstract

Aerobic exercise has a positive effect on both physical and mental health. This paper aims to study the correlation between aerobic exercise and improvement of physical sub-health based on multiple linear regression. Fifty patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain were randomly divided into two groups: the control group (group C) and the aerobic exercise group (AE Group). The patients in the AE group conducted another 30 minutes of submaximal aerobic exercise on the treadmill. The exercise test, pressure pain threshold (PPT) measurement, 36-item short-form health survey (SF-36), and visual analogue scale (VAS) were preliminarily conducted. The evaluation was finally performed. The VAS scores in both groups decreased significantly after treatment (P < 0.001). The sum of PPT increased significantly in the AE group but remained unchanged in the group C. Compared to group C, the duration of exercise test in the AE group was significantly increased (P = 0.0002). The results showed that short-term aerobic exercises effectively reduced pain sensitivity, increased aerobic exercise capacity, and improved the sub-health related quality of life significantly.
