“…Mezdour et al (1990) showed that high values of Lp (a) in sportsmen could represent a normal metabolic response following repeated microtraumas caused by prolonged and frequent movements of significant muscular masses. Our results do not show a significant difference in the concentration of Lp (a) between our sporting population after transformation to a logarithmic curve, and our reference group, and are in agreement with other published works (Cardoso et al 1994;Hubinger et al 1995;Martin et al 1999). However, there was a downward trend of Lp (a) in the sportsmen.…”

“…This observation would seem to show that physical exercise can affect the variations of concentration of Lp (a), with a protective aim. The control of serum Lp (a) seems to be primarily genetic (Cardoso et al 1994;Hubinger et al 1995).…”

“…In line with these findings, physical fitness was inversely associated with Lp(a) concentration in young children and adolescents with diabetes mellitus (88). In addition, Lp(a) levels were higher in experienced distance runners and in body builders who exercised regularly, suggesting a possible effect of prolonged highintensity exercise train ing on Lp(a) levels (89,90). Overall, the magnitude of exerciseinduced changes in Lp(a) levels was modest, and any impact related to specific apo(a) size isoforms has not been addressed.…”

“…44 In contrast, higher Lp(a) concentrations were observed in endurance athletes compared with bodybuilders or untrained individuals. 45 The foregoing observations have not been confirmed by further studies. No significant association of moderate to intense exercise training with Lp(a) levels was shown in a recent cross-sectional study of Hubinger et al 46 of middle-aged men.…”
