Abstract

The aim of this study was to compare of lipid and lipoprotein values in University students (judo athletes and soccer players). Total of 42 subjects, 20 male judo athletes who do sports for 10.3 years, 22 male soccer player students who sports average 10.4 years, participated in this study. Triglyceride (TG), Total Cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels were determined by Hitachi 717 auto analyser. For differences between groups were performed independent t-tests. There is a significant difference in plasma TC, LDL-C, and HDL-C levels between judo athletes and soccer players (p<0.05, p<0.001). TC and LDL-C values of judo athletes were significantly higher than the soccer players (p<0.05). HDL-C levels of soccer players were significantly high from judo athletes (p<0.05). It is meaningful that the ratio TC/HDL-C of judo athletes is higher than soccer players (p<0.05). Total cholesterol, triglyceride, high and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels on soccer players were found better according as judo athletes. This situation can be caused by branches and training differences. Lipid and lipoprotein values of educated judo athletes and soccer players have indicate that they do not carry the risk of cardiovascular illness. It is thought that blood fat values are normal due to the participants' sports education and trainings In addition, it is recommended that the educated judo athletes should have more jogging or aerobic training in their daily regular training.
