Does professional sports training affect blood pressure, heart rate, and lipid profiles compared to no sports participation?

Population

75 individuals, comprising 30 professional handball players, 30 professional water polo players, and 15 non-sportsmen controls, matched for age, smoking, and family history.

Exposure

Professional sports training (handball or water polo)

Comparator

No sports participation (control group)

Outcome

Blood pressure and heart rate before and after training and submaximal exercise test, and lipid profile (total cholesterol, LDL, triglycerides, HDL, LDL/HDL ratio, total cholesterol/HDL ratio)surrogate

Professional athletes exhibit lower atherogenic risk profiles and distinct cardiovascular responses to exercise compared to non-athletes, influenced by the specific sport.

Jovanović et al. (2005) reported a cross-sectional. Professional sports participation (handball and water polo) vs. No sports participation was evaluated on Blood pressure, heart rate, and lipid profile. Professional sports participation in handball and water polo was associated with statistically significant differences in blood pressure, heart rate, and lipid profiles, indicating lower atherogenic risk.
