The effect of mild aerobic physical activity on serum lipid, lipoprotein, and apolipoprotein concentrations in sedentary middle aged males

The purpose of this study was to determine if mild aerobic physical activity effected specific serum lipid concentrations to a greater extent than other serum lipid concentrations. Forty sedentary, healthy adult males (mean age 43.4 years) were divided into an untrained and trained groups. The trained members underwent twelve weeks of mild aerobic physical activity to determine the effects of mild aerobic physical activity on serum cholesterol, triglyceride, lipoprotein, and apolipoprotein concentrations.
