Article Synopsis
- Resistance training may be less effective than endurance training in reducing plasma triglyceride (TG) levels, but a single session of either can improve VLDL-TG removal from the bloodstream.
- A study with seven young men found that high-intensity resistance exercise significantly lowered fasting plasma VLDL-TG levels and increased its clearance rate compared to low-intensity endurance exercise.
- Given the same energy expenditure, resistance exercise proved to be more effective than endurance exercise at improving VLDL-TG metabolism, suggesting it could be a key strategy for managing plasma TG concentrations.
A single bout of prolonged aerobic exercise lowers plasma TAG (triacylglycerol) concentrations the next day by increasing the efficiency of VLDL (very-low-density lipoprotein)-TAG removal from the circulation. The effect of resistance exercise on VLDL-TAG metabolism is not known. Therefore we evaluated VLDL-TAG kinetics by using stable isotope-labelled tracers in eight healthy untrained men (age, 25.
