RESPONSE TO TWO-MODE OF EXERCISE TRAINING (BRISK WALKING AND JOGGING) OF UNIVERSITY STAFF HIGH-DENSITY LIPOPROTEIN

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this study was to establish the response to brisk walking and jogging of volunteered university staff high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. The area of this study was Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike, and Abia State, Nigeria. The age of the regular non teaching staff is 35–60 years. As a result of the call for free lipid profile test, the population of this study was 67 volunteered university staff who presented themselves for the free lipid profile test at the University Health Center. Fifty-four (54) Nonteaching staff (39 females and 15Males) who pass the inclusion criteria test were selected as subjects, while 13 (9 male and 4 female) lost out of been selected as subjects of this study after strict consideration of both inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected using two instruments- Lipid and Risk Identification Questionnaire (LRIQ) and Venous blood samples from the subjects for lipid profile tests. The hypotheses were tested using ANOVA. Findings showed that after the treatment the male subjects in Brisk walking group had significant mean gain in the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol than jogging group. The HDL cholesterol of the female has almost equal positive response to both brisk walking and jogging exercise. The university programme and calendar that will motivate and give her staff opportunities towards active participation in exercise should be developed.
