New York, May 31 : A well-known group of researchers have found that exercise could actually be bad for few people and might even trigger problems related to heart and blood pressure.

By studying the data from six rigorous exercise studies involving 1,687 people, the group found that about 10 percent actually got worse on at least one measure related to heart disease: blood pressure and levels of insulin, HDL cholesterol or triglycerides and about 7 percent got worse on at least two measures.

But the researchers don't have answer to such peculiar finding.

'It is bizarre,' the New York Times quoted Claude Bouchard, lead author of the paper and a professor of genetics and nutrition at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center, part of the Louisian State University system as saying.

While many researchers have applauded the study, there are many who are worried about the consequences.

'There are a lot of people out there looking for any excuse not to exercise,' said William Haskell, emeritus professor of medicine at the Stanford Prevention Research Center.

'This might be an excuse for them to say, 'Oh, I must be one of those ten percent,' said Haskell

But counterbalancing the 10 percent, who got worse were about the same proportion who had an exceedingly good response on at least one measure.

Others had responses ranging from little or no change up to big changes, seen in about 10 percent, where risk factor measurements got better anywhere from 20 to 50 percent

'That should make folks happy,' said Dr. William E. Kraus, a co-author of the study who is professor of medicine and director of clinical research at Duke.
