Background: Cardiovascular diseases cause extensive deaths throughout the world because of the increase in the concentration of cholesterol in blood plasma in the form of low-density lipoproteins (LDL). This study aimed to examine whether a single bout of exhaustive aerobic physical activity has a significant positive effect on apolipoproteins A and B, LDL and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels.
Materials and Methods: In this study, 26 male college students were randomly assigned to the experimental (n=13) and control (n=13) groups. The experimental group further performed 20 minutes of running exercise with their highest speed and power in an indoor gymnasium. Blood samples were collected three times during the exercise. The first sample was collected prior to the start of the exercise. The second and third blood samples were collected immediately and 24 hours after the termination of the exercise. Blood sample in the control group was collected only in the first stage and fasting state.
Results: There was a significant difference between the mean serum apolipoproteins A and B following the first stage and after the termination of the exercise (P=0.001). Moreover, a significant difference was observed between the mean serum triglyceride concentration of the subjects (P=0.001) and the mean serum concentration of HDL-C and LDL-C in the first and second stages (P=0.0001).
Conclusion: It can be concluded that even a single bout of aerobic exercise performed with high density lasting 20 minutes can lead to a significant change in mean values of apolipoproteins A and cholesterol with high density as well as other serum lipid variables. |
