Review
Impact of progressive resistance training on lipids and lipoproteins in adults:
A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
George A. Kelley
Objective. Given the discrepant findings of progressive resistance training (PRT) on lipids and lipoproteins
in adults, we used the meta-analytic approach to examine this issue.
Methods. Randomized controlled trials ≥4 weeks dealing with the effects of PRT on lipids and lipoproteins
in adult humans ≥18 years of age and published between January 1, 1955 and July 12, 2007 were included.
Primary outcomes included total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), ratio of total
cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TC/HDL-C), non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol
(non-HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and triglycerides (TG). A random-effects model
was used for analysis with data reported as means and 95% confidence intervals.
Results. Twenty-nine studies representing 1329 men andwomen (676 exercise, 653 control)were included.
Statistically significant improvements were found for TC (−5.5 mg/dl, −9.4 to −1.6), TC/HDL-C (−0.5, −0.9 to
−0.2), non-HDL-C (−8.7mg/dl, −14.1 to −3.3), LDL-C (−6.1mg/dl, −11.2 to −1.0) and TG (−8.1mg/dl, −14.5 to −1.
but not HDL-C (0.7 mg/dl, −1.2 to 2.6). Changes were equivalent to −2.7%, 1.4%, −11.6%, −5.6%, −4.6%, and −6.4%,
respectively, for TC, HDL-C, TC/HDL-C, non-HDL-C, LDL-C, and TG.
Conclusions. Progressive resistance training reduces TC, TC/HDL-C, non-HDL-C, LDL-C and TG in adults.
