Twenty-three apparently normal untrained men aged 20--55 participated in a 4-month self-regulated training programme ending in a marathon run. Fasting plasma and lipoprotein lipid concentrations, adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase activity, anthropometric data, alcohol consumption, smoking habits, weekly mileage run and performance on a bicycle ergometer were recorded before and after the training period. Training induced an increase in high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentration which was not directly related to concomitant decreases in mean very low density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C) concentration or mean total skinfold thickness. The degree of the changes in VLDL lipids and HDL-C levels were related to pretraining values, and changes in HDL-C and VLDL triglycerides (VLDL-TG) were also associated. Initial total skinfold thickness correlated inversely with the change in VLDL-TG levels during training. The pretaining concentration of VLDL-C was related to the corresponding value for HDL-C after training. The magnitude of exercise-induced changes in VLDL-C and HDL-C levels are more related to pre-training levels than to changes in measured exercise parameters, indices of obesity or adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase activity. However, the level of adiposity of subjects at the beginning of the study influenced the response of VLDL-TG levels to increased physical activity. The data suggest that VLDL contributes to the increase in HDL-C levels with exercise but is not the major source of the increment.
