Hyperlipidemia
Hyperlipidemia is a condition of elevation of blood fat levels. There are many components of blood lipids and this group collectively contributes to atherosclerosis and heart disease. Those trainers who are working with cardiac rehabilitation clients will probably deal with elevated lipids as well.
Components of blood fat in a normal blood chemistry profile include
Test Name Reference Range
Total Cholesterol 150-240 mg/dL
HDL Cholesterol 26-75 mg/dL
LDL Cholesterol 66-178 mg/dL
VLDL Cholesterol 22-40 mg/dL
Triglycerides 30-150 mg/dL
Many physicians look at a ratio of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) to judge how well patients are doing in terms of their risk for heart disease development. A risk ratio of less than 3.5 is the lowest value.
Perhaps the two main culprits of elevated blood lipids are a high fat diet and a person’s reaction to stress. These series of events trigger problems in metabolism of fats and this is the main cause of lipedemia. Lack of exercise is also an important contributing factor, but diet and stress should be ranked as the two most important elements.
Contraindications to Exercise for Hyperlipidemia
A physician should refer Individual with hyper lipidemia, because their probability of having some type of heart disease risk is high. They should perform an exercise stress test administered by their physician. High intensity strength training and or aerobics (high level intervals, etc.) is contraindicated until such time that all lipid values return to normal and other components, such as blood pressure, blood glucose, etc. are also normal.
