PDF Consideration on Obesity Prevention from the Point of View of Lipids Metabolism -From Improvement of Methods of Exercise-

【Supercategory:7. DESCENTE SPORTS SCIENCE Subcategory:7.1 Vol.1

 Concerning exercise to prevent or treat obesity, intensity and duration of exercise is important. This study is aiming to clarify the relation of the two through observing the change of Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity relating to intake fat into tissue and quantity of fat in the blood and tissue.
Results are as follows:
1) LPL activity of cardia muscle and skeletal muscles (soleus and plantaris muscles) increased with exercise.
2) There were two groups of muscles; in one group the amount of triglyceride increased, and in the other group the amount decreased under exercise of the same intensity.
3) The amount of triglyceride in the liver rapidly decreased in the latter stages of the long term exercise.
4) LPL activity in plasma rose in proportion to intensity of exercise.
 These results show that lipids metabolism in various tissues accelerate with exercise, but its degree differs in various tissues and with different intensity and duration of exercise. Therefore, in performing exercises to treat obesity problems, intensity and duration must be carefully examined.
