Could calisthenic exercises improve maximal exercise capacity, peripheral muscle strength and quality of life in dyslipidemia?

ABSTRACT:

Background

Regular exercise improves cardiovascular health through regulating the plasma lipoprotein profile. But the effects of different exercise modalities on exercise capacity, muscle strength and quality-of-life in dyslipidemia is unclear.

Objectives

This study aimed to investigate the effects of calisthenic exercises on exercise capacity, muscle strength and quality-of-life in dyslipidemia.

Methods

Thirty-nine individuals were randomly divided into 3 groups: Aerobic + Calisthenic Exercise Group (ACG), Aerobic Exercise Group (AG) and Control Group (CG). Exercise capacity measured using cardiopulmonary exercise test, muscle strength using handheld dynamometer, quality-of-life using Short Form-36 Quality of Life Questionnaire (SF-36) at baseline and 8 weeks after.<
