Introduction: Increasing of lipid profile is one of the important risk factors in old age. The aim of present study was to assess the effect of changes in volume and intensity of exercises on lipid profile of elderly men.

Methods: Twenty elderly men of yasuj city was selected through purposeful sampling and based on aerobic power divided into two groups. Both groups exercised 60 minutes per session for 8 weeks. Lipid profile changes was assessed with measuring fasting blood samples before and after of intervention. Data was analyzed using Co-variation and dependent T- tests.

Results:  The findings showed that 2 days training in week with high intensity and 3 days training in week with low intensity have significant effect on improvement of lipid profile of elderly men (p≤0.05), also have equal effects on improvement of lipid profile of elderly men (p≥ 0.05).

Conclusion: Training protocols of present study can induce improvement in lipid profile of elderly men.
