Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study is to determine the effect of rafting and paragliding exercises by sedentary males on serum lipids.
Material and methods: 17 male rafters and 10 male paragliders volunteers (non-smoker, no known history of cardiovascular disease, body mass index <25 kg/m2, and no intake of prescription medications) participated in the study. Participants had blood samples taken a day before and after rafting and paragliding practices. Data were analyzed by Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney U tests.
Results: Significant decreases occurred for the low-density lipoprotein (LDL)/very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) ratio in the rafting group after the exercise; though, there was no significant difference in serum lipids parameters of the paraglide group after the exercise.
Conclusion: While acute rafting and paragliding exercises have similar effects on TG and HDL, effect on LDL/VLDL ratio is different.
