ABSTRACT To investigate the effects of endurance training, strength training and Qigong on triglyceride in college male students. Seventy-eight healthy male college students volunteered to participate in this study(age 17~21years old，average19.55±0.93 years). They were randomly assigned into four groups (endurance group, strength group, Qigong group and control group). The experimental groups received a regular schedule on different training (30 minutes each time, three times a week) for 6 months. The control group received no exercise training. Blood samples were collected in the resting phase before and after the experiment. Plasma lipids(Total cholesterol，TC; High density lipoprotein cholesterol，HDL-C; Low density lipoprotein cholesterol，LDL-C; Triglyceride，TG) were determined. Both systolic blood pressures (SBP) and diastolic blood pressures (DBP) were observed in the resting phase before the blood samples were collected. ANOVA indicated that there were significant differences (p<0.05) between the four groups. As for the blood pressure, both SBP and DBP demonstrated no significant differences among the groups (p>0.05). We found in this study that endurance training tends to decrease TC, LDL-C and TG. Strength training may cause an increase in HDL-C and a decrease in LDL-C and TG. Qigong may serve to raise HDL-C and lower blood levels of LDL-C and TC/HDL-C, thus may have a better preventive and protection potential in cardiovascular events.
