Exercise,
Strength, and Lipids Study The Effect of Resistance, Endurance, and
Combination Exercise on Acute and Chronic Changes in Lipid Metabolism,
Particle Size, and Performance Variables in Previously Untrained Males |
Principal Investigators:
 | Steve Martin, M.S. - Ph.D. student - primary
investigator - lipid
analysis |
| Steve Crouse, Ph.D., FACSM - faculty
director of the project - advisor |
Research Technicians
| John Green, Ed.D., Ph.D., FACSM -
phlebotomist, research design and data analysis consultant |
| Wade Womack, M.S. - phlebotomist |
| Shawn Glowacki - exercise test technologist,
training supervisor |
| Ann Henry, M.S. - exercise test
technologist, training supervisor |
| Thomas Baek - exercise test technologist,
training supervisor |
| The goal of the study is to compare the benefits
of resistance exercise (weight) training, endurance exercise
(walking/jogging), and concurrent (combination of both) exercise training
with respect to changes in blood lipids/lipoproteins, various performance
parameters, and blood pressure in untrained males.
Subjects will train for 12 weeks based on their specific group
assignment. The aerobic exercise will consist of walking/ jogging on motor
driven treadmills and on an outdoor track.
The resistance exercise will consist of a standard weight-training
program of 8 different exercises to target all the major muscle groups.
The concurrent exercise will consist of a combination of the
aerobic and resistance exercises. Pre-
and post-training measurements of acute and chronic changes in lipid
metabolism, particle size, and performance variables will be made. This
study has the potential to produce new and much needed research findings
that will help clinicians determine the optimal exercise strategy to
reduce the risk of coronary heart disease |
