Why the study?
Does aerobic and resistance exercise training improve traditional lipid profiles and emerging CAD risk factors in general populations and patients with metabolic syndrome?
Does aerobic and resistance exercise training improve traditional lipid profiles and emerging CAD risk factors in general populations and patients with metabolic syndrome?
Aerobic and resistance exercise training effectively improve traditional lipid profiles and emerging cardiovascular risk factors, including postprandial lipemia and metabolic syndrome components.

May support exercise prescriptions for lipid improvement in metabolic syndrome; leaves open RCTs on CAD outcomes.
The purpose of this review is to provide up-to-date information regarding the effects of aerobic and resistance exercise training on the traditional blood lipid and lipoprotein profile. In addition, emerging coronary artery disease (CAD) risk factors, such as postprandial lipemia (PPL) and metabolic syndrome (MetS), are reviewed. Numerous studies report that aerobic exercise combined with weight loss significantly reduces blood cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), and triglycerides (TG) while improving high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Both aerobic and resistance training demonstrated a reduction in non-HDL-C independent of changes in body weight. Transient beneficial effects of a single session of aerobic exercise are observed for PPL. Nonetheless further research is needed to provide a better understanding of the potential mechanisms for reducing PPL. Exercise as an intervention for patients with MetS leads to improved CAD risk factors including atherogenic dyslipidemia, blood pressure, body composition, insulin sensitivity, and fat metabolism.
