Lipoprotein subfraction changes after continuous or intermittent exercise training
Article Abstract:
A study is performed to compare total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and their respective subfraction after completing 4 wk of either intermittent (INT-EX) or continuous (CON-EX) aerobic exercise training (TRAIN). The findings suggest that persons who are normolipidemic can improve the lipoprotein profile equally with CON-EX and INT-EX by lowered TC through the sum of changes in LDL-C subfractions, increased mean LDL particle size and increased HDL-C subfraction 2 concentration.

Moderate resistance training and vascular health in overweight women
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to find out the effectiveness of one year of resistance training (RT) on vascular structure and function in otherwise healthy overweight young and middle-aged women. The results suggest that one-year of RT, although not affecting carotid artery intimamedia thickness, improves peripheral artery endothelial function, measured by flow-mediated dilation of brachial artery, in overweight women.
