In order to achieve this purpose, 38 male of the National Turkish Wrestlers (age of the wrestlers A: 22.5 year and age of the wrestlers B: 19.3 years) participated in the study. Triglyceride (TG), Total Cholesterol (TC), HDL-C and LDL-C levels were determined by Hitachi 717 autoanalyser. To determine the differences between groups independent t tests were performed. Significance level was taken as p<0.05. TC and LDK-C values of wrestlers A were significantly high when compared with the same values of wrestlers B (95.95 and 130.63 mg/100cc opposed to 92.05 and 118.47mg/100cc). No significant differences were found in TG and HDL-C values between wrestlers groups (p>.05). Although the group A wrestlers’ training levels were always higher than group ” Wrestlers’, the TG and HDLC values were not found to be different. But the HDL-C levels of group A wrestlers were found to be better than group B Wrestlers. This result shows that medium and high level of exercises did cause little differences in lipid and lipoprotein levels. Lipid and lipoprotein values of the two groups have indicated that the individuals in these groups would not be exposed to danger of cardiovascular diseases.

Introduction Cross-sectional studies support a significant incremental effect of exercise on blood lipids and lipoproteins in men Durstine et al., ; Cınar et al., .

As a result of a meta-analysis about the effects of physical activity on lipid and lipoprotein metabolism; TC (Total Cholesterol), LDL-C, TG and TC/HDL-C ratio significantly decreased after exercise (Tran et al., 1983). It has reported that the changes in HDL-C levels with exercise training were inversely related to baseline HDL-C levels. These findings suggested that individuals with the lowest HDL-C levels would exhibit the greatest increases in HDLC with exercise (Durstine et al., 2001). The quantity of observed changes about these values belong to age, sexuality, body weight, body fat ratio, duration and intensity of exercise (Fritz, 1987; Baydil, 2013). There is substantial, consistent and strong evidence that physical activity is a deterrent for developing many forms of cardiovascular disease Imamoğlu et al., 5. Many researches show that the cholesterol is related with coronary heart disease (CHD). LDL-/HDL-C ratio can show arteriosclerosis disease risk. There is substantial, consistent and strong evidence that physical activity is a deterrent for developing many forms of cardiovascular disease. In general, blood lipids and lipoprotein profiles of physically active groups reflect a reduced risk for the development of cardiovascular with their inactive counterparts (Fletcher et al., 1992; Durstine et al., 2001; Stambler et al., 1986). Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide (Cutler, 2006). Low blood levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) are an independent risk factor for CVD (Franceschini, 2001; Boden, 2000). Regular exercise has positive effects on physical, physiological, motoric features, balance (Mayda et al., 2016; Mahmood et al., 2017; Yilmaz et al., 2017). However, it have been reported that one of the most important positive effects of regular exercise is on blood biochemistry. Regular and well-tuned intensity aerobic exercise reduces total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, blood lipid levels, while increases HDL cholesterol levels when estimated (Koç, 2011). It has been seen that exercises have a positive effect on lipid and lipoprotein metabolism (Bedir et al., 1998). In this study, it is aimed to compare lipid and lipoprotein values of wrestlers who have different training levels and to examine the risks of cardiovascular diseases.
