This study was designed to test the effect of “WuQinXi” exercise on blood lipid levels and the antioxidant enzyme activities in aged practicers. Results showed that 30 days of “WuQinXi” exercise could significantly lower the serum levels of TC, TG and LDL-C, while increasing the serum level of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and activities of SOD and CAT.
