The purpose of this investigation was to compare the absolute and relative acute exercise responses in average fitness men with lower (LOW = 43.33 ¿¿¿¿ 10.31) and higher (HIGH = 151.34 ¿¿¿¿ 28.90) initial triglycerides (TG) after expending 600kcal on a treadmill. All participants were screened for average fitness (47.37 ¿¿¿¿ 3.55) and body composition (19.14 ¿¿¿¿ 3.49), then completed a treadmill jog at 60% of their VO2max and blood draws at 1 (1hPE), 24 (24hPE) and 48 (48hPE) hours postexercise. This investigation demonstrated significant absolute (mg/dl) TG reductions among groups with initially different TG values; however, these differences were relatively equal when considering the percent change. Secondly, groups divided solely on initial TG values had different postexercise HDL-C responses. This investigation adds to the growing body of literature in support of exercise’s beneficial influence over blood lipids and contributes towards a need for further research into the TG-HDL-C relationship.
