Abstract: Endurance exercise improves the aerobic processes within skeletal muscle by increasing capillary and mitochondrial densities as well as oxidative enzyme concentration, whereas strength training improves skeletal muscle force production by increasing muscle cross-sectional area and glycolytic enzyme concentration. Both the Strength & Endurance (SE) and Endurance & Strength (ES) groups outperformed the control group in terms of lipid profile (significant reductions in TC, TG, LDL-C, VLDL-C and significantly increased HDL-C) and body composition (significant decreases in body fat, body weight, and increased body fat free mass, with no statistical significance between the two). There was also no statistically significant difference in body composition or lipid profiles between the SE and ES groups. Aerobic exercise, by keeping up a consistent, high-intensity exercise routine, particularly in middle-aged and young adults, protects against atherosclerosis. Exercise is the only component of early rehabilitation programs at the moment. With a mortality rate drop of at least 20%, exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation has gained widespread acceptance. Reason being, HDL levels rose while TC and TGL levels fell, resulting in lower systolic blood pressure.
