Summary

Aim of this project is to delineate sustainable physical exercise programs and to assess the effects of such programs mainly on endocrine-metabolic and neurovegetative outcomes in a cohort of men with metabolic syndrome-related late-onset central hypogonadism. Participants will undergo a personalised exercise program. After 6 months they will be subdivided into two groups, according to the weekly physical activity volume actually performed (above or below 600 MET·minutes/week). Changes in endocrine-metabolic and neurovegetative outcomes will be compared between the two groups.

Conditions

• Hypogonadism, Male
• Metabolic Syndrome
• Autonomic Imbalance
• Life Style, Healthy
• Physical Inactivity
