Abstract
  • The effects of an 11-week jogging program on the plasma lipid fractions and clotting time of 19 late adolescent males (18 to 19 years) were investigated. Total lipids, triglycerides, total and free cholesterol, phospholipids, non-esterified fatty acids, and clotting time of plasma were determined. Statistical analysis was applied to the change in each parameter. Dietary patterns prior to and following the fitness program were examined. The mean concentrations of total lipids, total and free cholesterol, and phospholipids were lower than those reported for young men; plasma clotting times were longer. The mean plasma triglycerides and non-esterified fatty acids were comparable to those observed in adults. Individual values of the plasma lipid fractions were within the ranges reported in the literature. Consistent relationships could not be found between dietary intake, changes in weight, or any of the lipid parameters. Significant changes in triglycerides, total and free cholesterol, and non-esterified fatty acids were not apparent as a result of exercise. There was a significant decrease in phospholipids; total lipids and clotting time increased significantly following the fitness program.
