A single exercise session expending 800 kcal or more significantly decreases triglyceride (TG) and VLDL-C concentrations 24 hours post-exercise in trained men.
To lower your triglycerides, you need to burn at least 800 calories in a single exercise session. This effect is seen 24 hours after the workout. Higher energy expenditure (1,100+ kcal) yields greater reductions.
GoodSupportsHIGH confidence
At 24 h after the 800-kcal-exercise session, TG concentration decreased 26% and VLDL-C concentration decreased 22% (P < 0.05)... At 24 h after the 1,100-kcal-exercise session, TG concentration decreased 30%. VLDL-C concentration also decreased (P < 0.05) at this time point
Why this rating
Same study design as N1.
