The purpose of this study was to compare blood lipid responses continuous versus accumulated exercise. Nine participants completed the following conditions on separate occasions by treadmill walking/jogging at 70% VO2max: 1) one 500-kcal session and 2) three 167 kcal sessions. Total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C), triglycerides (TG) concentrations were measured from serum samples obtained 24 h prior 48 after All analyzed in 2 (condition) x 3 (time) repeated measures ANOVAs. HDL-C increased 7 mg/dL over baseline post-exercise with sessions exercise (P < 0.05). Triglyceride unchanged both conditions. These findings suggest that smaller bouts same day may have a modestly greater effect for achieving transient increases compared bout similar caloric expenditure.
