Strength Training and Hypercholesterolemia: An Epidemiologic Study of 8499 Employed Men

Abstract: High-quality strength training is strongly associated with a reduced risk of hypercholesterolemia, even after controlling for numerous, potentially confounding factors (odds ratio = .46; 95% confidence interval = .23 to .91).

“…Our finding that HDL-C increases with exercise is consistent with previous results [12,13,19]. However, not all studies have found gains in HDL-C following aerobic-based [14-16] or strength-based programs [16-18].…”

“…However, the variety of characteristics (frequency, intensity, time, and type) of exercise used in previous studies may partly explain inconsistent findings of different modes of aerobic exercise causing unchanged TC, HDL-C or LDL-C [15,16]. Inconsistent results also exist in strength-based training programs with some failing to achieve changes in blood lipid profile in postmenopausal women [17,18] or in adult men [16], while others have reported benefits [19]. Additionally, some studies focusing on the effects of the gender in the lipid profile have found significant differences, with women having higher HDL-C, decreased LDL-C, and decreased TG comparing with men [20].…”

“…In a large, cross-sectional study of 8499 employed men, high-level strength training was strongly associated with a reduced prevalence of hypercholesterolemia, even after controlling for numerous potentially confounding factors. 32 Short periods of resistance training may result in favorable increases in HDL-C and decreases in LDL-C, 33 and 16 weeks of weight training was associated with favorable changes in lipid and lipoprotein levels in previously sedentary men and women. 34 In contrast, no change in lipoprotein-lipid profiles was found after 20 weeks of resistance training in men at high risk for CHD.…”

“…Several studies have shown beneficial effects on lipoprotein-lipid profiles resulting from resistance training (14,56,79,126,134,135), whereas other studies have not demonstrated significant changes in blood lipid levels (85,121). Some investigators have found that resistance training and aerobic activity produce similar effects on blood lipid profiles (13,121).…”
