Recently, it has been reported that a mixed aerobic and
resistance training was more effective in the chronic modifica-
tion of lipid profile in overweight men [28]. Moreover, a meta-
analysis suggests that combined training might be the most
efficacious exercise modality to improve glycemic control and
blood lipids [29]. It is also important to consider the volume of
exercise. It has been reported that for most individuals the
positive effects of regular exercise on blood lipids at low training
volumes may take some time to show up, but noticeable differ-
ences frequently occur with energyexpenditures of 1200 to2200
kcals/wk
