【Supercategory:7. DESCENTE SPORTS SCIENCE Subcategory:7.2 Vol.2

 This study was designed to clarify the effect of physical exercise and nutrition for preventing hyperlipidemia and hypertension.
 Sprague-Dawley strain rats were fed on a hypercholesterolemic diet. Voluntary or forced exercise was loaded on the hypercholesterolemic rats. Both exercises significantly decreased serum triglyceride. Serum total cholesterol level was lowered by voluntary exercise rather than forced one. There had been observed the tendency to increase of HDL cholesterol level and to decrease of the ratio of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol in voluntary exercise group.
 Safflower oil and the extract of Shii-ta-ke mushroom were found to exhibit obvious hypotensive activity of SHR.
 Healthy adult volunteers were loaded exercise training, without the reduction of their body weight. HDL cholesterol increased and the ratio of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol decreased significantly after training.
 These results suggested a close relation between exercise and nutrition in the prevention of hyperlipidemia and hypertension.
