摘要：Aim.It was aimed in this study to detect the effect of 14 week regular aerobic-step exercises on female university students’ plasma cholesterol levels.Method.The participants of the study were 64 healthy voluntary female university students.Out of these students,32 students formed the exercise group and 32 students formed the control group.Students practiced the continuous aerobic-step exercise program for 60 minutes for 3 days a week.Intensity of the exercise was calculated as 50-70% via Karvonen formula.Prior to the practice of exercises;age,length,body weight,relaxation heart rate,systolic and diastolic blood pressure and blood lipids of the participants were measured.T-test was used for the statistical analysis of the data.Each physiological variable obtained from the measurements was accepted as significant at the level of p<0.05.Findings.At the end of the study,body weight,relaxation heart rate,systolic and diastolic blood pressure,total cholesterol,LDL-Cholesterol,triglyceride levels of the exercise group significantly decreased while HDL-Cholesterol values significantly increased (P<0,05,p<0.01).In conclusion,it was detected that regular and continuous 14 week aerobic-step exercises that are performed by the participants for 3 days in a week was effective on cholesterol levels of female university students.
