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. / Graduation date: 1970
