posted on 2018-08-23, 10:30 authored by Stephen F. BurnsElevated postprandial triacylglycerol (TAG) concentrations and increased C-reactive
protein (CRP) concentrations are risk markers for cardiovascular disease. The effects of
resistance exercise on postprandial TAG metabolism and CRP are uncertain. The studies
reported here examined the influence of resistance exercise on postprandial lipaemia and
CRP. All studies were approved by the University's Ethical Advisory Committee. Fifty-five
male participants were recruited to five studies. The age, height and body mass of the
participants were: 24.2 ± 3.8 yrs, 1.78 ± 0.06 m, 78.0 ± 10.8 kg (mean ± SD).
The aim of the first study was to evaluate the hypothesis that a single session of
resistance exercise would lower postprandial lipaemia. [Continues.]
