Abstract
This study attempted to determine the possible changes in the serum cholesterol levels of male college students who participated in a vigorous physical exercise program, as conducted in a college physical education class. The two parallel groups of male freshman college students who served as subjects were considered to have “low fitness” and a relatively high level of serum cholesterol. The control group participated in no physical education classes nor strenuous recreational activities while the exercise group was in a special physical education class which met for 35 minutes three times a week over a ten-week period. Although the exercise group improved significantly more in physical fitness than the control group, the difference between the final serum cholesterol levels of the two groups was not significant.
