The Effect of Exercise Training on Blood Lipids: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dyslipidemia is a primary risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Exercise training (EXTr) improves some lipid markers but not others; the literature is dated and analyses may be underpowered.

Objectives

To clarify which lipid markers are altered with ExTr and establish if information size had yet reached futility.

Methods

We conducted a systematic review/meta-analysis, with meta-regression, to establish expected effect size in lipid profile with aerobic (AT), resistance (RT) and combined (CT = AT + RT) ExTr. We conducted trial sequence analysis (TSA) to control for type I and II error and establish if information size had reached futility.

Results

We included 148 relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of ExTr, with 227 intervention group
