effect of physical fitness exercise on the distribution of plasma high density lipoprotein cholesterol and other lipid fractions
abstract
the effect of participation in a physical fitness programme of
moderate intensity on plasma lipoprotein cholesterols, total cholesterol,
triglycerides and apolipoprotein-a levels was investigated.
forty-nine inactive individuals participated in a sixteen week
exercise programme that consisted of three sessions weekly with one
and one-half hours in each session. the results were compared with
those of a non-participating group.
results suggest that a programme of physical exercise of moderate
intensity of a relatively short duration (sixteen weeks) can have a
beneficial effect by modifying the plasma lipid constituents in
potentially high risk individuals, particularly those over 40 years
who have low hdl-cholesterol blood levels.
