A great amount of research shows the correlation of lipids and other biochemical indicators with the appearance of cardiovascular and other diseases. The purpose of this project is to investigate the effect of exercise on the biochemical indicators that relate to the appearance of cardiovascular diseases on young athletes and children having physical activity. 233 children participated in the project, which were separated in two groups, the control group with 120 non athletic children (60 boys and 60 girls) and the experimental group with athletic children (55 boys and 58 girls). During measurement , anthropometric elements and blood tests results were taken and the levels of :T-C, TG, LDL-C, HDL-C, CK-MB, CRP, BNP, NT-proBNP, fibrinogen, Hb, PEROX AND IMANOX were determined. The results prove that boy – athletes showed statistically significant lower concentrations of T-C and CRP in comparison to the control group. A similar difference, albeit statistically insignificant, was also noticeable in girls. Likewise, the boys as well as the girls of the experimental group showed statistically significant lower values in LDL-C, IMANOX, PEROX, BNP, NT-proBNP in comparison to their non-athlete peers. Regarding fibrinogen values, they were lower in the control group girls than in the experimental group girls, a discrepancy not observed in boys. Finally, there were no discrepancies regarding TG, HDL-C, Hb and CK-MB. In conclusion, we can say that exercise during childhood and teenage years contributes to the reduction in factors which lead to cardiovascular and other metabolic ailments in adult life, improving the level of life. © 2015, JPES.
