Abstract
This pilot study in a small group of individuals (n=21) examined the effect of walking intervention among inactive adults (age=40-64 years) with dyslipidemia. Participants were randomly assigned to a Walking-Plus (WP) or Walking-Only (WO) group. Groups engaged in walking (30 to 60 min/day; 50-60% of HRmax) and were encouraged to accumulate 10,000 steps/day. WP group interrupted sedentary time every 30 minutes for ≥2 minutes. HDL-C improved over time [F (2,26)=6.273, p=0.006] and a significant between group effect was observed [F (1, 13)=9.39, p=0.009]. LDL-C [F (2,24)=3.63,p=0.042] and total cholesterol [F (2,26)=3.636, p=0.041] levels increased over time. Future plans include adding dietary plans and having larger sample sizes.
