Effects of Water-Based Exercise on Lipid Profile and Lipoprotein Lipase of Dyslipidemic Premenopausal Women

Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre30 enrolled

Overview

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of water-based exercises on lipid profile (LP) and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) levels in premenopausal dyslipidemic women. It was hypothesized that a water-based aerobic interval-training period would decrease plasma concentrations of atherogenic lipoproteins and concomitantly increase HDL and LPL levels, as well as maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) values.
