What are the exercise recommendations for dyslipidaemia?

• A. Frequency: Twice Weekly; Type: Flexibility; Intensity: Light; Time: 15 Minutes
• B. Frequency: Daily; Type: Aerobic Only; Intensity: Moderate; Time: 45 Minutes
• C. Frequency: Most Days; Type: Aerobic Plus Resistance Training; Intensity: Moderate To Vigorous; Time: 30 To 60 Minutes
• D. Frequency: Monthly; Type: Resistance Only; Intensity: Very High; Time: 10 Minutes

Answer: (C)

Regular exercise for dyslipidaemia aims to improve the lipid profile and overall heart health by combining different workout types, doing it on most days, and sticking to a duration and intensity that provide meaningful benefits. Aerobic activity helps lower LDL cholesterol and triglycerides and can raise HDL, while adding resistance training improves insulin sensitivity and body composition, often producing a greater overall lipid benefit than aerobic work alone. When you put these together—aerobic plus resistance training—performed most days, at a moderate to vigorous intensity, for about 30 to 60 minutes, you hit a practical, effective dose that aligns with recommendations for improving lipid levels and cardiovascular risk. The other options fall short because they either emphasize only one mode of exercise, have too infrequent a schedule, or use very short or unsafe intensities. For example, doing aerobic and resistance training most days at a moderate to vigorous pace for 30–60 minutes provides a balanced approach that optimizes lipid improvements, whereas lacking resistance work, or reducing frequency to monthly, or only doing very short, high-intensity sessions, would not deliver the same cardiovascular and lipid benefits.
