Anaerobic performance and anthropometric characteristics of American Football Players of a Brazilian Team
Abstract
Many papers study the effects of aerobic exercise on lipid profile and blood glucose. The aim was to investigate the effects of 12 weeks of training step on the lipid profile (LP) and glycemic index (GI) in 13 women divided into 2 groups: 8 subjects in the Training Group (TG) and 5 subjects in the sedentary group (SG). Pre and post assessments and results for the TG were: total cholesterol (186.00 ± 38.82mg/dl and 181.00 ± 39.57mg/dl); HDL (59.88 ± 9.77mg/dl and 61.38 ± 6.11mg/dL); LDL (106.13 ± 30.96mg/dl and 99.38 ± 21.49 mg/dl); VLDL (20.00 ± 8.24mg/dl and 20.25 ± 12.15mg/dl); triglycerides (100.00 ± 40.70mg/dl and 101.63 ± 61.22mg/dl) and IG (85.00 ± 6.05mg/dl and 77.25 ± 3.15 mg/dl). For the SG were: total cholesterol (180.4 ± 31.49mg/dl and 166.00 ± 34.74mg/ dl); HDL (54.00 ± 6.93mg dl and 54.4 ± 5.77 mg/dL); LDL (110.4 ± 22.66 mg/dl and 23.33 ± 95.6m /dL); VLDL (16.00 ± 7.62 mg/dl and 16.00 ± 6.78 mg/dL); triglyceride (79.8 ± 37.02 mg/dl and 79.6 ± 34.52 mg/dl) and IG (81.8 ± 3.7 mg/dl and 76.4 ± 5.41 mg dl). We conclude that 12 weeks of training step were not enough to induce changes in the variables.
