Regular physical activity significantly lowers cardiovascular disease risk by positively impacting blood clotting factors. Exercise reduces fibrinogen levels, a key cardiovascular risk factor, and influences other hemostatic and fibrinolytic markers.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Health
  • Exercise Physiology
  • Hemostasis and Thrombosis

Background:

  • Long-term physical activity is linked to reduced cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
  • Part of this protective effect may be mediated by exercise's influence on thrombogenic factors.
  • Key thrombotic factors include fibrinogen, factor VII, platelet reactivity, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, and tissue-plasminogen activator.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the evidence linking physical activity to thrombogenic factors.
  • To explore how exercise influences hemostatic and fibrinolytic parameters relevant to cardiovascular events.
  • To assess the contribution of these mechanisms to the cardiovascular benefits of exercise.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature, including randomized controlled trials, intervention studies, and population-based cross-sectional studies.

  • Analysis of data on the relationship between physical activity and plasma fibrinogen levels.
  • Examination of studies on the acute and long-term effects of exercise on coagulation and fibrinolysis.

    • Main Results:

    • Consistent inverse relationship found between physical activity and plasma fibrinogen levels.
    • Exercise influences other hemostatic and fibrinolytic markers, with acute exercise transiently activating coagulation and increasing fibrinolysis in healthy individuals.
    • Patients with ischemic heart disease may face risks from strenuous exercise if their fibrinolytic capacity is limited.

    Conclusions:

    • Physical activity exerts significant effects on thrombogenic factors.
    • These exercise-induced changes in hemostasis and fibrinolysis likely contribute to the observed cardiovascular benefits of regular physical activity.
    • Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for optimizing exercise recommendations for cardiovascular health, especially for at-risk populations.
