[The effect of physical training on lipid parameters in the blood]

Physical training leads to an improved metabolic capacity of musculature. At the same time through a decreased liberation of catecholamines a reduction of the increased lipolysis develops. The two factors together condition an improved glucose tolerance and a decrease of the reactive insulin secretion. Thus, among others, the synthesis of triglycerides is reduced and an essential factor of risk is favourably influenced for the development of arteriosclerosis.
