Optimal calorie restriction threshold: effect of FATmax exercise combined with different proportions of calorie restriction on hypercholesterolemia by Yuetong Wu, Li Zhang, Jing Li, Boyang Xue, Wenyuan Shang, Yingli Lu

“…Participants were divided into four groups based on these proportions: REE only, REE + PA33%, REE + PA67%, and REE + PA100%. FATmax exercises were conducted 5 times per week, lasting 1 h each.Results1) Compared with baseline, subjects’ body weight, fat mass and body fat rate decreased significantly; fat-free mass also decreased significantly in the REE, REE + PA33%, and REE + PA67% groups. 2) Subjects’ serum TC decreased significantly; serum LDL-C and ApoB decreased significantly in the REE, REE + PA33%, and REE + PA67% groups; there were no significant changes in serum HDL-C and ApoA1. 3) Serum PCSK9 was significantly decreased in the REE and the REE + PA 67% groups; serum LDLR was significantly decreased in all groups of subjects. 4) Between the groups, the rate of change in serum LDL-C was significantly different.ConclusionFATmax exercise combined with proper proportions of calorie restriction can significantly decrease serum cholesterol levels and fat mass in hypercholesterolemic patients. …”
