The role of exercise training in the therapy of hyperlipoproteinemia.
Exercise therapy is a valid therapeutic modality in patients with hyperlipoproteinemia (HLP). In combination with appropriate dietary modification, it can be a powerful therapeutic tool and may allow a reduction in hyperlipidemic medication doses. Improved triglyceride values and lipoprotein profiles can be obtained. The dose of therapy is an important aspect of exercise prescription, as it is in any medical therapy. The amount and type of exercise required to achieve therapeutic lipid changes in patients with HLPs deserves further attention.
