Effect of isometric hand grip exercise with respect to cardiovascular parameters in males and females

Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Physiology - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1

Abstract

Background: There have been many statements in the scientific literature, popular press and in the classroom about concerning the relationship exercise and health. Aims and Objectives: To study Cardiovascular parameters with respect to Hand Grip exercise in Males and Females Methodology: The present study was carried out in 60 normal healthy males and 60 normal healthy females between the age group of 19 and 20 years. The normal subjects were selected among the students of nursing college of S.R.T.R. medical college, Ambajogai and T.B.G. college of polytechnic, Ambajogai. unpaired ‘t’ test was used for statistical analysis. Result: Statistically very highly significant increase in heart rate after handgrip exercise in both males and females. statistically very highly significant increase in systolic blood pressure after handgrip exercise in males and females. Show diastolic blood pressure is increased but not significantly after handgrip exercise in both males and females. Statistically very highly significant increase in cardiac work after handgrip exercise in both males and females. Highly significant more heart rate in females than males, highly significant systolic and diastolic blood pressure in males as compared to females, females have highly significant more cardiac work after exercise. Conclusion: After hand grip exercise there was highly significant more heart rate in females than males, highly significant systolic and diastolic blood pressure in males as compared to females and females have highly significant more cardiac work after exercise.
