Exercise training effects on serum lipids of prepubescent boys and adult men

Aerobic exercise and lipids and lipoproteins in men: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

“…Forty-seven studies (96%) used a parallel-group design [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52] and two used a crossover design [26,35]. For those studies in which dropout information was discernable, 40 (82%) reported using an analysis-by-protocol approach to analyze their data [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]28,…”

Another three studies did not report having any dropouts [30,32,38].…”

“…Sixteen studies reported that none of the subjects were taking any type of medication(s) that could affect lipids and/or lipoproteins [7,13,16,18,[20][21][22][23]27,29,35,[39][40][41]49,50], and four reported that some subjects were taking medication(s) that could affect lipids and/or lipoproteins [8,25,37,51]. For cigarette smoking, 11 studies reported that none of the subjects smoked [4,7,23,25,27,32,34,39,40,45,50] and 14 reported that some of the subjects smoked [8,13,16,18,21,22,24,26,30,31,42,43,49,51]. One study that consisted of two different exercise groups reported that none of the subjects in one of the exercise groups smoked cigarettes and some of the subjects in the second exercise group as well as the control group smoked [41]<...>…”

“…For alcohol consumption, two studies reported that none of the subjects consumed alcohol [23,32] and 16 reported that some of the subjects consumed alcohol [6,8,13,16,18,19,21,24,26,27,34,40,42,45,48,49]. Nineteen studies reported that there were no changes in diet during the intervention period [4,7,8,10,11,19,22,26,29,30,[32][33][34][35]37,38,42,45,49] and another seven reported that there were changes in one or more groups [6,16,21,39,48,50,52]. Thirty-two studies reported that none of the subjects were previously participating in a regular physical activity program [4,6,7,9,13-15, 17-23,25-27,29,32,34-36,39-42,44,45,47,49,50,52] and another three reported that some of the subjects were participating in a regular physical activity program …”

Physical Training Improves Body Composition of Black Obese 7‐ to 11‐Year‐Old Girls

“…A study of prepubertal boys (21) and another of obese Japanese 11 to 13 years of age (20) found that PT, with no dietary intervention, decreased fatness. A weight loss program which included diet and PT was more effective than a program using diet alone in reducing body fatness of obese adolescents (19).…”
