| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We established a program aimed at improving physical activity in men with poor exercise habits and a declining trend in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC) level, and examined the physical activity pattern contributing to the increase in HDLC levels during the intervention period. As a consequence, we observed that accumulation of bouts of moderate to vigorous physical activity of more than 3 to 5 minutes was associated with an increase in HDLC and HDL2 cholesterol levels. This result suggests that accumulation of bouts of relatively short physical activity/exercise sessions may improve HDLC levels. Therefore, performing physical activity/exercise for 10 minutes or more, as recommended in the Physical Activity Guidelines, is not necessarily required.
