Effects of Combined training on Lp(a). HDL-C.LDL-C in men 35-45 age

Purpose of this study was to determine the effect of combined training (endurance and resistance training) on [HDL-CLDL-C Lp(a)] as the most important cardiovascular effectors and survival relation of change in LDL-C and Lp(a).

16 previously sedentary males were randomly allocated to Exp (N=8 MEAN ageSD=414.76 and control (N=8. MEAN ageSD=434.36 groups. The training program consisted of an 8 week training period , sessions a week and 45 minutes a session, at an intensity producing (40-50%) of vo2max and consumption 1000-1100 (kcal/ wk).

Training consisted of resistance and endurance with (% 40-50) Vo2max.It had no significant but positive effects on HDL-C [HDL-C: pre 35.625.97. post: 37.375.95mg/dl (P=0.34). But it had significant and positive effects on Lp(a) and LDL-C [LDL-C: pre 10120.40. post: 9713.01mg/dl (P=0.015) and Lp(a): pre 38.537.24. post: 27.2533.28mg/dl. (p=0.045).

according to these results this study revealed that combination resistance with endurance training can be useful for decreasing the cardiovascular risk factor, [Lp(a)]. In addition this training increased useful lipoprotein HDL-C and decreased the cardiovascular risk factor, [Lp(a)]. This training probably plays a dominant role in control and prevention of cardiovascular disease.
