[Regular aerobic physical activity improves the lipid profile in persons with excessive body weight].
A review of physical activity-induced lipid changes is presented. The review was compared with results we obtained in a reconditioning program involving 25 untrained obese patients who attended the reconditioning centre of the 1st Faculty of Medicine of Charles University for three months. A significant decrease was found in both HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides and the atherosclerosis index. No significant changes were recorded in the total and LDL-cholesterol level.


CONCLUSIONS
Aerobic physical activity can induce changes in lipid levels in overweight and obese patients. Indication of regular aerobic physical activity should not be omitted in current practice.
