Influence of several physical activities on serum cholesterol concentrations in young men

Donald E. Campbell

Department of Physical and Health Education, The University of Texas, Austin, Texas

An attempt has been made to determine the influence of several physical activities upon the serum cholesterol of 133 young adult males, who were randomly selected to participate in 10-week programs of cross-country running, golf, tennis, tumbling-gymnastics, wrestling, and weight training, and whose cholesterol values were compared with those of a control group. The findings as examined by analysis of variance suggest that different types of physical activity influence cholesterol concentrations in different degrees: subjects who participated in a vigorous and dynamic type of activity showed a significant decrease, whereas subjects who participated in a vigorous but static type of activity experienced no significant reduction during the experimental period.

Supplementary key words physical activity • dynamic • static • serum cholesterol • cross-country running • weight training • tumbling-gymnastics • wrestling • tennis • golf
