effect of an interval progressive (pyramidal) aerobic training on lipid and lipoprotein profiles in san shou athletes

the aim of this study was to obtain an insight into the influence of an interval progressive (pyramidal) aerobic training on serum lipid and lipoprotein profiles in san-shou athletes. 13 national levels male san shou player were (23.23 ± 2 years and 66.27±2.75kg,171.8 ± 2.8 cm in high and 22.42± 0.51 bmi) were voluntarily participated in this study. blood samples (10ml) were taken from an arm vein before and after training program. all blood samples were prepared for glucose tc, tg, hdl-c ldl-c vldl-c and some other blood factors and atherogenic indexes measurement. the results of this study show that there were a sig-nificant decrease in serum tg , vldl-c concentrations and tc/hdl-c and ldl/hdl-c ratios and a significant increase in serum hdl-c levels after an interval progressive (py-ramidal)aerobic training for 14 weeks. the present date indicate that this training program was able to changes lipid and lipoprotein metabolism toward an cardiovascular indexes im-provement independent to any significant changes in tc and ldl-c levels.
