“…On the other hand, a number of authors have reported no significant change in total cholesterol concentration during a variety of short term and longer term exercise programs (7,18,30,31,34,42,43). Several of these studies showed considerable reductions in mean cholesterol with exercise, although statistical significance was not reached.…”

“…Long term training studies in apparently normal subjects, with initial triglyceride levels generally within the normal range, have yielded a mixed bag of significant decreases in plasma triglyceride concentration (e.g., 27) and insignificant decreases and increases (28)(29)(30)(31). Some studies have investigated the effect of a combined exercise and caloric restriction program upon plasma triglycerides.…”

The influence of vigorous activity in man on plasma lipids and lipoproteins is reviewed, with particular emphasis on high density lipoproteins. Both cross sectional and longitudinal (or training) studies have been reported, many of them of less than ideal design. Nonetheless, a consistent pattern emerges in which increased exercise levels lead to lower plasma concentrations of triglycerides and very low density lipoproteins, and of low density lipoproteins. High density lipoprotein levels increase. Sometimes, but not uniformly, plasma total cholesterol level falls as the result of these changes. The increase in plasma high density lipoprotein appears to be the result largely of an increase in the less dense HDL2 subfraction. Plasma apolipoprotein A-I levels (but not apo-A-II levels) seem to increase concomitantly. The precise biochemical mechanism responsible for these changes has not been elucidated; but the recent finding of increased lipoprotein lipase activity in adipose tissue and muscle of endurance runners suggests that increased lipolytic rate of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins may be an initial step in a sequence of events leading to higher plasma levels of HDL-2.
