Abstract
Dyslipidemia and a sedentary lifestyle are well-known risk factors for cardiovascular illnesses (CVD). Exercise-induced modifications to the blood lipid profile (total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL)) may help to reduce CVD-related events. In this study, we tried to see how aerobic exercise affected various lipid profile parameters in students of various ages and health statuses. All trials including males and females’ students, however, showed effective improvement. Healthy people, overweight people, those with obesity, and male participants were shown to have benefited more from the activity, regardless of their health status or gender. A non-significant improvement in lipid profiles was seen in individuals with low physical activity. In the case of cardiovascular health, jogging demonstrated to be more effective than exercise alone. Exercise is helpful in terms of lowering cholesterol levels, but younger people, people with higher cholesterol, and CVD patients require additional preparations made under the guidance of professionals in the fields of sports medicine. Serum Cholesterol improved from 105 mm/dl to166 mm/dl, Serum Triglycerides 124 mm/dl to 90 mm/dl,HDL Cholesterol 37 mm/dl to 44 mm/dl, and LDL Cholesterol 140 mm/dl to 104 mm/dl with positive improvements. Additional research is required for these populations with heart patients, hypercholesterolemia in order to further elaborate the outcomes of this study.
