Daily steps were measured in healthy men (n=27) by a portable electronic pedometer. Subjects were voluntarily selected as an active group (AG=12) and sedentary group (SG=15). In addition, total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), LDL-C and HDL-C were measured. The average of daily steps in the AG (12632+3957 steps/day) was significantly higher than the SG (5347+ 1631 step/day) (P %U https://jsb.ut.ac.ir/article_23810_32e026e4f2c10161964a0759d7ac5165.pdf
