Abstract
The effects of jogging on serum lipids were assessed in 16 normolipidemic males who ran an average of 5.8 miles (9.3 kms)/wk for 6 wk. There was no change in serum triglyceride concentration or clearance nor in HDL[high density lipoprotein]-cholesterol; total and L[low]DL-cholesterol concentrations decreased significantly, by 5.7 and 8.3%, respectively. Individual decreases in LDL-cholesterol were correlated with the distance run; a stimulatory effect of exercise on LDL catabolism evidently was responsible. A possible explanation for the known protective effect of exercise against coronary heart disease is suggested even when taken in amounts insufficient to raise HDL-cholesterol.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
