dc.description.abstractThis study was conducted in order to compare blood lipid levels in athletes who have been doing sports in various branches for five years or more and sedentary university students. The study covered 20 athletes, at age of 21 in average, doing sports in university teams in various branches and 20 sedentary university students - 40 in total. Having received a briefing about the tests, volunteers were measured for their physical measurements such as body height and body weight as well as their blood lipid levels. Volunteers were lectured not to take in any food or drink after 10:00 PM before the day when their blood samples would be taken. Blood samples were taken at 8:00-9:00 AM in the laboratory. Blood samples of the participating volunteers that were taken from the forearm antecubital area into 5 ml EDTA tubes in line with the hygiene rules were analyzed by means of an auto-analyzer in the central laboratory for blood lipid levels such as triglyceride, cholesterol, LDL and HDL cholesterol. The independent t-test was applied to define the differences between the groups. Level of significance was taken as 0.05. The study revealed that there was not a significant difference between the groups in terms of body height, body weight and body mass index (p>0.05) whereas the difference in cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol levels was significant (p<0.05). As a conclusion; an analysis of blood lipid levels of the participating volunteers revealed that sedentary students had higher triglyceride, cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels whereas HDL cholesterol was higher in athletes. The study suggests that such a change in the blood lipid level relies on an exercise program that athletes regularly attend, which is supported by the findings of this study. © IDOSI Publications, 2013.
