%X The modern lifestyle in western industrialized societies is generally viewed as a major contributor to increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) as well as of other common medical conditions and chronic diseases affecting middle aged and older people.   The present study investigated the effect of aerobic exercise on lipoprofiles of middle-aged men.   Twenty (N=20) male subjects were selected randomly from Annamalai University Summer Fitness programme in the year 2010.   Their age ranged between 40 and 55 years.   The subjects were divided into two equal groups (n = 10).   Group I acted as Control and Group II underwent aerobic exercise (brisk walking), 4 days/week for 12 weeks.   Each session consist of 45 to 60 minutes including warming up and cool down.   The aerobic load was fixed 45 to 60% of their target heart rate.   The load was fixed by adopting age predicted methods [Target Heart Rate = (load %) (220-Age)] Load was increased 3% in every alternative week.   5 ml blood sample were collected two days prior too and immediately after the aerobic exercise programme as pre and post data from both the groups. Biochemical parameters such as Serum high-density lipoprotein a?กฐ cholesterol (HDL-C); low-density lipoprotein - cholesterol (LDL-C) and triglycerides (Tg) were analyzed using Auto analyzer available in Bio-chemistry Lab, Raja Muthiah Medical College Hospital, Annamalai University, Tamil nadu. India.   Data were collected and statistically analyzed by applying analysis of covariance (ANCOVA).   The level of significance was fixed at 0.01.   The result of the study indicated that, aerobic exercise group increased HDL-C level and reduced the LDL-C and Tg levels, when compared to Control.   Hence, it was concluded that aerobic exercise positively influence the lipoprofile level in the middle aged men.
