RISK OF CARDIAC DISEASES DUE TO HYPERTENSION DURING TREADMILL EXERCISE AMONG ECTOMORPHS

Abstract

OBJECTIVES
To determine the effects of exercises by using treadmill leading to
cardiac diseases due to HTN response of exercise among ectomorph
male and female.
STUDY DESIGN
An experimental study design was used.
STUDY SETTINGS & PARTICIPANTS
30 students that were studying in a reputed institution with BMI of
18.5 (both male and female) were the part of this study.
INTERVENTIONS
Heart rate and blood pressures were measured through Heart Rate
Monitor, Mercury Sphygmomanometer, Weighing Scale Treadmill,
and Stadiometer was used to collect data. The data was analyzed
through SPSS.16, through paired sample t test.
RESULTS
No statistically significant differences were obtained in post exercise
B.P among ectomorph men and women where as significant difference
between pre-exercise and post-exercise heart rates on ectomorph
were obtained.
CONCLUSIONS
B.P and H.R are two significant indicators in our body that give signal
about many cardiac diseases silently existing in our body. Our study
concluded that the body responses to exercise are similar in both
ectomorphs male and female; therefore ectomorphs have equal
risk factor for cardiac diseases.
