Bekris Evangelos

Abstract :

 The aim of the current study is to examine the effects of soccer on the lipidemic profile of young males. Specifically the researcher examined how the anthropometric characteristics, the weekly exercise frequency and the level of aerobic capacity affect players’ cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high–density lipoprotein (HDL–C) and low–density lipoprotein (LDL–C) levels.128 males, who were divided into three groups based on their weekly frequency and kind of physical exercise, participated in this study. One–way ANOVA analysis was used for the differences between the three groups while post hoc Bonferroni test was used for the comparisons between the groups. The significance level was defined at p<0,05.This study concludes that 2–3 soccer training sessions per week benefits TG and HDL–C levels. In addition, VO2max levels positively affect HDL–C values. On the other hand, body mass index and body fat percentage was not related with any parameter of lepidemic profile.
