The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of eight weeks of aerobic and anaerobic training on a number of cardiovascular risk factors of
male students at Shahid Chamran University. Study groups consisted of 36 volunteers aged 20-30 years from different colleges, who were randomly divided in control, aerobic and anaerobic groups.
Cardiovascular risk factors such as C- T, HDL-C, LDL-C, VLDL-C, TG,
RF, BMI, fat percent, BPI and BPz were measured in all! samples during
pre-test. Then, the aerobic and anaerobic groups took part in 8 weeks predetermined physical programs, while the members of the control group were asked not to take part in any kind of physical training programs during this period. All of the samples used regular university's self-service food program. After 8 weeks, research varia bless were again measured as post-test. Descriptive statistic, M40VA, and Tucky test at the significant level of P _ 0105 were used to test the hypotheses. The findings were as follows..
There was a significant reduction in C- T of both aerobic and anaerobic groups (P=O.OOl), but there was no significant difference between aerobic and anaerobic groups. The amount of HDL-C was significantly increased in aerobic
and anaerobic groups. The amount of VLDL-C, LDL, C and TG had not significantly changed after 8 weeks of training. Although, this level in aerobic and anaerobic groups (special in aerobic group) were reduced, not the finding was non-significant. There was significant reduction in RF of both aerobic and anaerobic groups (P aerobic training on RF, was significantly greater than that of anaerobic training.
Both of systolic and diastolic blood Pressure was significantly reduced in aerobic
and anaerobic groups (a = 0.05), but there was no siginificant difference between aerobic and anaerobic groups. There was a significant reduction in percentage of fat of both aerobic and anaerobic groups (P In generaL the results of this study revealed a number of cardiovascular risk
factors can positively be changed during 8 weeks of both aerobic and anaerovic
trainin. Therefore, it is claimed that participating in regular physical activities,
especially aerobic training could result in reduction, prevention, and treatment of
cardiovascular disorders.
