Is it true that aerobic exercise lowers blood cholesterol levels?
Unclear. Several small trials, observational studies, and reviews report that aerobic exercise is associated with lower cholesterol or improved lipid profiles, but the evidence is limited to narrow populations, short durations, or animal models, and no single source settles the general claim.
