Differences in total cholesterol and triglyceride levels between the trained and untrained groups after 30 minutes of running

Increased levels of cholesterol and triglycerides can be caused by a lack of physical activity, resulting in plaque buildup in blood vessels and metabolic disorders. This study aims to explain the effect of total cholesterol and triglyceride levels before and after a 30-minute aerobic run carried out 4 times a week for 6 weeks on trained football players and an untrained group. This research method uses a quasi-experimental non-control group design that has been determined for the criteria as a research sample. The research sample used a purposive sampling method by taking 15 trained football players and 15 untrained people. Total cholesterol and triglyceride levels were measured before the 30-minute program and after the 30-minute program. The ShapiroWilk test showed a normal distribution. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests. The mean total cholesterol level before 188.06 +/- 43.46 and after 158.86 +/- 31.12. The results of the data analysis showed that there was a significant effect on total cholesterol levels (p=0.000). For the level of triglycerides, the Shapiro-Wilk test showed a normal distribution. The result of the data analysis with Paired t -test showed there was no significant difference between the total triglyceride values of the two groups (p=0.32).
