Dyslipidemia

Question 1

BENEFITS (1)

Answer 1

1. Improve in lipid profil

Question 2

Current edition (10th) (2) and previous edition (9th) (1)

Answer 2

10th

1. Aerobic training consistently reduces LDL-C (0,17-0,33 mmol/L) but does not appear to have a consistent effect on HDL-C or TG blood levels
2. Resistance training appear to reduce LDL-C and TG levels (0,33-0,5 mmol/L) but less consistent effects than aerobic training.

9th
1. Exercise training increases serum HDL-C, decrease ratio (total cholesterol/HDL-C), and decrease serum TG

Question 3

Exercise testing (4)

Answer 3

1. CET not necessary for asymptomatic people beginning a light-to-moderate intensity ex program
2. Standard testing methods and protocols are appropriate if cleared for exercise testing
3. Use caution because underlying CVD may be present
4. Special considerations should be given to presence of comorbid conditions (e.g., obesity, HTN, metabolic syndrome)

Question 4

Precaution/consideration (4)

Answer 4

1. Resistance training: adjunct (flexibility: for general health)
   
   • Less consistent beneficial effects in people with dyslipidemia
2. Consider comorbid conditions and age
3. Some lipid-lowering meds can cause muscle damage
   
   • May lead to unusual muscle weakness or soreness
   • Should consult healthcare provider if unusual or persistent muscle soreness occurs with exercise while taking these meds
4. Improvements in lipid profile with exercise may take several weeks to months
