Abstract :

Introduction: The incidence of diseases like angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, hypertension and cereovascular accidents is increasing nowadays. The high blood lipid level is found to be the main cause of atherosclerosis. This study is undertaken with the aim to evaluate the effect of physical training onBMI, and lipid profile.

Materials and methods: The study was conducted on 50 male physically trained adults and 50 male sedentary adults in the age group between 21-30 years.

Following parameters were evaluated: BMI, totalcholesterol, triglycerides, High density lipoprotein cholesterol,Low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL- C),BMI

Results: There is statistically highly significant decrease in BMI, total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL- C, VLDL- C, and highly significant increase in HDL- C in physically trained adults as compared to sedentary adults.

Conclusion: Combination of aerobic exercise and games causes highly significant decrease in total cholesterol, TG, LDL- C,VLDL-C,BMI increase in HDL-C.thus combination of aerobic exercise and games is more beneficial instead of only aerobic exercise and hence should be recommended.
