Lipoprotein (a) does not participate in the early acute phase response to training or extreme physical activity and is unlikely to enhance any associated immediate cardiovascular risk

Abstract: Aims: To investigate the proposal that lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)) contributes to the acute phase response and thus possibly to the acute cardiac risks associated with major physical effort. Methods/Results: Fit, healthy, British army recruits were reviewed at the beginning and the end of a 10 week programme of basic training concluding with an intense 48 hour military exercise. Final recruit assessment was staggered over the last week of training, giving rise to six recruit groups, with determination of Lp(a), C … Show more

“…Several population and cross-sectional studies showed a lack of association between serum Lp(a) levels and regular moderate physical activity or moderate exercise training. [20][21][22][23][24]29 The few studies that found a beneficial effect of exercise on Lp(a) were either confounded by ethnical issues 25 or included only men. 26 Therefore, it appears likely that the changes in Lp(a) levels observed in our study were caused by the dietary intervention rather than by the increased physical activity.…”

“…18,19 Similarly, the effect of physical exercise on Lp(a) levels is not fully understood, with several contradicting reports. [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] Only few studies were performed in children. 27,28 In this study, we therefore tested the possibility of lowering Lp(a) levels by a weight reduction program during a 3-week dietary camp for obese children.…”

“…In 6 studies [18][19][20][21][22][23] there was a decrease in the concentration of CRP, and in one study only 24 there was an increased after the intervention with PA. In addition to PCR, there was a decrease in γ-fibrinogen, retinol carrier protein (RBP4), IL-6 e PAI-1.…”

“…Intense and moderate exercises were also used 18,19,24,[30][31][32][33] planned exercises and sports games 29 and controlled exercises in exercise bike 31 besides sedentary behavior evaluation 20 . Longitudinal studies also assessed cardiorespiratory fitness by different methods: ergospirometry test 29 , 20 m shutle-run test 9 and cardiorespiratory test on exercise bike 32,33 .…”
