Exercise and Atherogenic Dyslipidemia

The atherogenic lipid profile (or lipid triad) consisting of hypertriglyceridemia, low levels of HDL cholesterol, and high levels of small and dense LDL particles in particular (61) has been tied to other cardiometabolic risk factors such as abdominal obesity (62) and insulin resistance (63). Accordingly, this cluster of lipid abnormalities has been shown to predict cardiovascular-related morbidity and mortality (64). Numerous reviews (65-69) and meta-analyses (7, 10, 70) have investigated the role of exercise in improving dyslipidemia, and the results are summarized below.
