THE RELATION BETWEEN MAXIMAL AEROBIC CAPACITY AND LIPIDS PROFILE OF STUDENT AGED 12-15
Journal Title: CITIUS ALTIUS FORTIUS - JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND SPORT - Year 2010, Vol 29, Issue 4
Abstract
Elevated lipid levels and lack of exercise and physical activity in childhood, can predict cardiovascular disease later in life. The aim of this study was to investigate cardiovascular disease risk factors among young children and whether serum lipids were related to aerobic fitness determined by peak oxygen consumption. The number of students who participated in the study were 120 (59 boys and 61 girls), aged 12 to 15. They were examined for maximal aerobic capacity (VO2max) and the lipidemic profile (triglycerides, cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol). Results revealed that student with better aerobic capacity had significantly lower levels of triglycerides F(2,117)=17,55 p< ,000 and higher levels of HDL-C F(2,117)=3,71 p< ,027. There were not found differences in lipids levels among boys and girls at these ages. In conclusion the risk of cardiovascular disease, because of elevated lipids levels may be reduced by improving aerobic capacity.
