Patients with simple hyperlipidemia can choose a wide range of sports. However, when hyperlipidemia is accompanied by other diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, heart disease and so on. Exercise should be within the safe range of concurrent diseases or will not make the body feel any discomfort. On this premise, moderate intensity aerobic exercise is the most beneficial exercise form for hyperlipidemia patients to improve dyslipidemia. Too high or too low exercise intensity is not conducive to the obvious improvement of blood lipids. The most beneficial change occurs when the intensity of exercise training is between 50% and 70% of the maximum oxygen uptake. It seems that high-intensity sports training cannot bring more beneficial changes than low-intensity sports training. Animal experiments have also confirmed that high-intensity endurance exercise training will not only improve dyslipidemia, but may accelerate the occurrence of dyslipidemia.

However, the research results of strength training on the regulation of dyslipidemia are not uniform. Most of the early studies thought that strength training would not improve the index of dyslipidemia. Recently, experts reported that strength training can increase the high-density lipoprotein content of men and young women, but this result did not appear in postmenopausal women. The effect of strength training on blood lipid metabolism needs further study and confirmation.
