    Abstract
    The purpose of this study was to determine if blood lipids were influenced by BMI and aerobic capacity (VO2max) in seemingly healthy adult women (n = 57). Participants were divided into normal and overweight groups based on BMI (< 25 kg/m² and ≥ 25 kg/m² respectively) and low, moderate and high fitness groups based on VO2max (< 27 ml/kg/min, 27–32.9 ml/kg/min, and ≥ 33 ml/kg/min, respectively). Venous blood was sampled for the determination of triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), very low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (VLDL-C), high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) and HDL2-C and HDL3-C concentrations. A 2 (BMI) x 3 (VO2max) ANOVA was performed using Tukey post hoc analysis. Blood lipid concentrations of TG and VLDL-C were significantly higher in the overweight low fitness level group than the overweight moderate fitness level group (p = 0.031 and p = 0.030, respectively). There were no other significant differences in any blood lipoprotein-cholesterol concentrations or age between groups.
