Background Aerobic exercise is believed to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease
partially through increasing serum levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C).
However, this effect varies considerably among exercise intervention studies. Methods
Electronic database searches of MEDLINE (1966-2005) for randomized controlled trials that
examined the effect of exercise training on HDL-C level. Results Twenty-five articles were
included. Mean net change in HDL-C level was statistically significant but modest (2.53 …
