Abstract: Elevated postprandial triacylglycerol concentrations ([TAG]) are associated with the development and progression of atherosclerosis, and are established as an independent risk factor for future cardiovascular disease.Considering the majority of the daytime is spent in a postprandial state typically, and the paediatric origins of atherosclerosis are well established, Collectively, these studies demonstrate the efficacy of acute moderate-and high-intensity exercise, and to a lesser extent energy-intake restriction, to reduce postprandial plasma [TAG] and increase resting whole-body fat oxidation in boys and girls.Furthermore, the beneficial effect of exercise on postprandial metabolism appears dependent on the maintenance of the associated energy deficit.These lifestyle interventions have the potential to provide a practical, effective and engaging stimulus to promote a healthier cardiovascular risk profile in early adolescence.
