Abstract

Purpose

To compare the effects of the order of concurrent exercise (endurance plus strength or strength plus endurance) on lipoprotein profiles in men.

Methods

After the evaluation of maximum strength (one repetition maximum—1RM) in the half-squat and of aerobic fitness (maximal velocity in treadmill incremental test), 11 physically active male subjects underwent two randomized sessions composed of four sets of half-squat strength exercises until exhaustion (at 80 % of 1RM) and a 5-km run high-intensity intermittent exercise (1:1 min at V max), performed in different orders: (1) strength plus run (S-A) and inverse order, and run plus strength (A-S). Blood samples were collected before and immediately after the first exercise (Post-1) and after the second exercise (Post-2) in the intra-session sequence. Serum was analyzed for total cholesterol (TC) and its ratio, HDL-c and LDL-c, and triacylglycerol (TAG).

Results

There were effects of condition for TC, LDL-c, and TC/HDL, with greater values in the AS than SA (p < 0.001 for all). For the delta analysis, there was an interaction effect for TAG, with greater delta-1 S-A than delta-1 A-S (p = 0.035), and higher delta-1 S-A than delta-2 S-A (p = 0.001); for LDL-c, with higher delta-1 S-A values than delta-2 S-A (p = 0.010); and for TC, with higher delta-1 S-A values than delta-2 S-A (p = 0.038).

Conclusion

We conclude that there are no differences between the order of acute high-intensity intermittent run plus strength exercises regarding modulation of the lipoprotein profile in healthy, physically active men.
