Background.Low physical activity (PA) levels are associated with poor health risk factor profiles. Intervention strategies to increase PA and quantify the rate and magnitude of change in risk factors are important.Methods.Interventions were conducted over 40 days to increase PA in 736 insufficiently active (<150 min/wk PA) participants using either a pedometer or instructor-led group protocol. There were a further 135 active participants as controls. Major cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors, including fitness parameters, were measured before and after intervention.Results.Adherence to the interventions was higher for the group versus pedometer participants (87.1% versus 79.8%) and compliance rates for achieving sufficient levels of PA (≥150 min/wk) were also higher for the group participants (95.8% versus 77.6%). Total weekly PA patterns increased by 300 and 435 minutes, for the pedometer and group participants, respectively. Improvements were found for waist girth, total cholesterol, aerobic fitness, and flexibility relative to controls. The change in vigorous PA, but not moderate PA, was a significant predictor of the change in eight of 11 risk factor variables measured.Conclusions.Rapid and dramatic increases in PA among previously insufficiently active adults can result in important health benefits.

School conditions that do not meet environmental health requirements are a threat to students and school members to be affected by health problems and infectious diseases. The purpose of this study was to analyze risk factors for environmental health at SDN 13 Batang Gasan and the potential health problems that would arise. This research is descriptive, with the population is the facilities and infrastructure and all students of SD Negeri 13 Batang Gasan, totaling 82 people. Data analysis was performed using environmental health risk factor analysis, namely providing answers about the risks that will arise, by dividing 6 risk criteria, namely very high (> 80%), high (60% -79%), moderate (40% -59%), low (20% -39%), very low (1% -19%) and safe / not risky (0%). The results of the study prove that the level of environmental health risk in Public Elementary School 13 is high (65%). It is suggested that schools need to make efforts to control risk factors.
