Περίληψη:
The effects of regular aerobic exercise on blood concentrations on
high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and prostacyclin were studied in 18
healthy sedentary boys who exercised on a bicycle ergometer for 1 h,
four times per week, for 2 months at 75% of their physical working
capacity. The results were compared with those of 10 control boys who
did not participate in any specific program. The exercise group revealed
a significantly higher mean high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and
6-keto-PGF1a concentration at the end of the training program (p < 0.005
and p < 0.001, respectively). These results suggest that regular aerobic
exercise has beneficial effects upon the high-density lipoprotein
cholesterol and 6-keto-PGF1a in healthy young boys and may be beneficial
in the long term, by preventing atherosclerosis of coronary artery
disease in adulthood.
