A comparative study on lipid profile parameters in athlete and non-athlete adult males

Regular physical exercise has a major impact on lipid status. The particular characteristics of athletes' blood lipid profiles were examined in this literature study. When compared to a sex- and age-matched inactive group, professional athletes' blood lipid level was shown to be much better. Athletes perform lower levels of TC, LDL-C, and TG and equivalent or higher blood levels of HDL-C regardless of whether they participate in endurance or power sports. It was introduced that there are disparities in blood lipid levels and sports disciplines. Although there are many more elements that should be considered for future research, such as food, area of origin, exercise regimen, and even genetic susceptibility. To compare the lipid profile among athlete and no-athlete adult males. Case control study with sample size 150. Adult males of age group 20-50 0.001). Our study concludes that athletes and non-athletes differ in their lipid profile status. Athletes have better lipid status as compared to non-athletes, thus well protected from the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Physical activity significantly promotes better lipid profile, irrespective of genetic influence.
