Why the study?
Regular physical activity significantly affects lipid status, prompting an analysis of the specific features of blood lipid profiles in athletes.
Do professional sports activities improve blood lipid profiles in athletes compared to a sedentary population?
Do professional sports activities improve blood lipid profiles in athletes compared to a sedentary population?
Professional athletes exhibit a more favorable blood lipid profile compared to sedentary individuals, highlighting the beneficial effects of regular intense physical activity on lipid metabolism.
Supports activity for lipid management; leaves open sport-specific effects in clinical populations.
Regular physical activity significantly affects lipid status. In this literature review, the specific features of athletes blood lipid profiles were analysed. Professional athletes blood lipid status was found considerably preferable compared to sex- and age-matched sedentary population. Regardless of endurance or power type of sports activities, athletes perform lower levels of TC, LDL-C and TG and comparable or higher blood levels of HDL-C. The differences in blood lipids levels and sports disciplines were introduced. Although there are much more factors as diet, place of origin, training regime, and even genetic predisposition that should be taken into consideration for future research.
