Metabolic adaptation
Both training programs resulted in significant reductions in LDL cholesterol, with linear training showing a decrease of -15.1 mg·dL-1 and undulating-periodized training showing a decrease of -9.4 mg·dL-1.
Implementing these training programs can help lower LDL cholesterol in older adults.
