Nordic Walking Training Causes a Decrease in Blood Cholesterol in Elderly Women Supplemented with Vitamin D
31 Mar 2025
Different studies have demonstrated that regular exercise can induce changes in the lipid profile, but results remain inconclusive. Available data suggest that correction of vitamin D deficiency can improve the lipid profile. In this study, we have hypothesized that Nordic Walking training will improve lipid profile in elderly women supplemented with vitamin D.
After 12 weeks of NW training and vitamin D supplementation, in the Experimental Group a decrease in TC, LDL-C, and TG was observed. In the Supplemented Group, no changes in the lipid profile
were observed, whereas in the Control Group an increase in the HDL-C level was noticed. Positive physical fitness changes were only observed in the EG.
