Thirty-six subjects completed a 24months home-based exercise program (cycling≥three times per week,≥45min/session at 50-65% of VO2peak). Body composition, blood samples, and physical fitness were studied at baseline and after 12 and 24months of participation in the study. The prescribed physical activity was monitored via self-reported exercise diary to determine MET levels, hours, and exercise compliance. Two-tailed repeated measures ANOVA and Spearman Rank Correlation Coefficients were used to detect significant differences and associations between the variables. ApN increased significantly (P<0.05) after 12months in males (n=17; 5.3±1.9-7.0±3.0μgml−1) but not in females (n=9; 8.6±3.8-11.5±4.0μgml−1). The net change in ApN over 24 months was significantly correlated to the net change in VO2peak (physical fitness) (r=0.66; P<0.001), whereas exercise intensity was negatively correlated to ΔApN over 12months (r=−0.4; P≤0.04) and 24months (r=−0.45; P≤0.02). Based on our results, an improvement in cardiorespiratory fitness of 15% increased plasma ApN concentration. Our findings suggest that moderate physical activity performed over many months induces positive changes in the plasma ApN concentration in adults with a predisposition to metabolic syndrome.
