Text: Serum high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and total cholesterol and triglycerides tended to change in a favourable direction in the elderly of the intervention groups, but only triglyceride concentration in women of the cycle ergometer group (mean difference with controls : -0. 24 mmol/L, 95 % confidence interval (CI) : -0. 45, -0. 03) and total serum cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol concentrations in subjects of the all-round activity group, (-0. 32 mmol/L, 95 % CI : -0. 63, -0. 01 and -0. 15 mmol/L, 95 % CI -0. 25, -0. 05, respectively) were significantly reduced as compared to controls.
