Abstract
The present study was conducted to demonstrate the lipid profiles and the enzyme activity among various athletes enjoying a high caloric diet. To study the effects of different exercises, we chose 6 events, including swimming, long-distance running, weight lifting, boxing, wrestling and shooting. In general, the athletes lipid profiles changed little in the high caloric diet (4, 100kcal), compared with those of normal healthy men (taking 3, 400kcal) who did not engage in any special exercise. However, we noted a decrease in the serum triglyceride during swimming, long-distance running, and wrestling as well as an increase in total cholesterol with wrestling. There was no significant difference in enzyme activity among the events, but these was a tendency to increase with swimming and long-distance running. There was a tendency for an increase of HDL2-C in all the athletes, though this was not significant. Corroborating other reports, we noted an increase in apo A-I Tin runners and a decrease in apo C-II among the athletes. This result suggests that exercise is beneficial for combatting atherosclerosis even though one enjoys a high caloric diet at the same time.
