TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of the amount and intensity of exercise on lipoproteins were investigated in a prospective, randomized study, where a total of 111 sedentary, overweight men and women with mild-to-moderate dyslipidemia were randomly assigned to participate for six months in a control group or for approximately eight months in one of three exercise groups: high-amount-high-intensity exercise, the caloric equivalent of jogging 20 mi (32.0 km) per week at 65 to 80 percent of peak oxygen consumption; low-amount -high-intensive exercise
