Sportmedizin im Wandel

Problem: Dyslipidaemia and physical inactivity are leading risk factors for the development of atherosclerotic disease, accounting annually for approximately 5.8 million deaths worldwide. A lipid-lowering effect of exercise is commonly assumed, but, in contrast to multi-modal lifestyle interventions...

A lipid-lowering effect of exercise is commonly assumed, but, in contrast to multi-modal lifestyle interventions, the particular effect of exercise on lipid profiles is less-wellestablished.
