“…1). The serum HDL-cholesterol was higher and the triglycerides appeared to be lower in the group of regularly training children (18). This may also be due to the differences of relative body weight because the HDL-cholesterol and body weight were negatively correlated in the boys (Table 3).…”

“…The distribution of plasma lipoproteins appears to be influenced by habitual physical activity in adults (12,26,27). While there has also been a growing interest in serum lipid profiles of children and young adults (16,19), our knowledge of the relation between these and physical activity is still scarce (6,11,17,18). The purpose of the present study was to investigate the ergometric exercise tolerance and serum lipids in schoolchildren engaged in different degrees of physical activity.…”

“…1 Efforts to combat this disorder have included a number of nonpharmacological approaches such as alteration of dietary cholesterol and sodium, weight loss, and an exercise program. '~3 The belief that regular exercise can influence the development or progression of cardiovascular disease rests heavily on its ability to reduce such risk factors as body weight, 4 unfavorable lipoprotein profiles, 5 and blood pressure. 6 7 The latter effect, however, is not consistently observed.…”

The ability of exercise training to block the generation of hypertension produced by chronic stress in the borderline hypertensive rat was tested. Twenty-three male borderline hypertensive rats, F1 offspring of spontaneously hypertensive and Wistar-Kyoto rats, were divided into three groups. Two groups (8 rats per group) were subjected to 2 hours of daily, predictable, uncontrollable tail shock for 12 weeks. One of these groups was also given 2 hours of daily swim stress (exercise trained). A third group served as a maturation control and received neither intervention (n = 7). After 12 weeks of stress, direct recording of blood pressure verified the pattern observed with tail cuff: shock only group, 180/118 +/- 3/3 mm Hg; exercise-trained and shocked group, 166/108 +/- 4/2 mm Hg; and control group, 160/98 +/- 6/4 mm Hg (mean +/- SEM). Systolic and diastolic blood pressures in the shock only group were significantly higher than in both the other groups (p less than 0.05). The control group differed from the exercise-trained and shocked group only in diastolic BP (p less than 0.05). During a short-term stress session plasma norepinephrine levels in the exercise-trained and shocked group were significantly lower than those in the shock only group (555 +/- 56 vs 776 +/- 84 pg/ml; p less than 0.05). These results indicate that an alteration of autonomic function resulted from the exercise training, but its contribution to the resistance of the exercise-trained and shocked rats to stress-induced hypertension is unclear.

“…Obesity is especially related to low levels of HDL, cholesterol subfraction, while there was no correlation between various obesity indices and HDL, subfarction (Albrink ef al., 1980). On the other hand good physical fitness is known to be associated with low serum cholesterol, high HDL cholesterol and low triglyceride concentrations (Gyntelberg & Olsen, 1973 ;Hartung et al, 1980;Huttunen et al, 1979;Lehtonen & Viikari, 1978;Marniemi et a/., 1980;Nikkila e f al., 1978;Schwane & Cundiff, 1979;Wood & Haskell, 1979). On the other hand good physical fitness is known to be associated with low serum cholesterol, high HDL cholesterol and low triglyceride concentrations (Gyntelberg & Olsen, 1973 ;Hartung et al, 1980;Huttunen et al, 1979;Lehtonen & Viikari, 1978;Marniemi et a/., 1980;Nikkila e f al., 1978;Schwane & Cundiff, 1979;Wood & Haskell, 1979).…”

“…Whether obesity primarily causes lipid and lipoprotein disorders or whether they are a consequence of low physical activity remains unanswered. On the other hand good physical fitness is known to be associated with low serum cholesterol, high HDL cholesterol and low triglyceride concentrations (Gyntelberg & Olsen, 1973 ;Hartung et al, 1980;Huttunen et al, 1979;Lehtonen & Viikari, 1978;Marniemi et a/., 1980;Nikkila e f al., 1978;Schwane & Cundiff, 1979;Wood & Haskell, 1979). In a healthy population HDL cholesterol remained elevated in physically active middle-aged men and younger women after adjustment for body mass index (Haskell et al, 1980).…”

The aim of the present study was to analyse to what extent serum lipoproteins are determined by overweight and physical fitness. Fifty-eight middle-aged males were divided into lean, overweight and obese subgroups according to their body mass indices, which characterization was also well in accordance with two skinfold thicknesses. Maximal oxygen consumption per body weight was lowest in the obese. HDL cholesterol was decreased in the obese compared to the lean. HDL cholesterol correlated separately significantly with maximal oxygen consumption and body mass index when all the three groups were combined. Physical fitness was a less dominant determinant of HDL cholesterol than body mass index. The importance of physical fitness as a determinant of HDL cholesterol was less marked in the obese than in the lean and overweight suggesting a need for certain level of physical activity before it can influence serum lipoprotein levels.
