Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Preventive services are an important component of the national health agenda. Physicians have the opportunity and responsibility to promote regular physical activity as well as the reduction of high blood pressure, weight control, management of abnormal blood lipids, and prevention and cessation of smoking. Aim: There is a need to know the effect of isometric hand grip exercise training of the certain degree on cardiovascular system so that similar benefits if any could also be obtained to same extent in similar age group if they practice physical training regularly. Material & Methods: This is prospective Study group consisted of Medical students in the age group of 17-22yrs, who are pursuing their studies at S.P. Medical College, Bikaner. One hundred and fifty subjects (75 males and 75 females) were selected for this study among the MBBS students from S.P. Medical College, Bikaner. Informed consent was obtained from all the subjects after receiving full details of the protocol. The data was compared before and after the isometric hand grip training in normotensive Medical students. Results: In present study the mean value of BMI were insignificant in male (p=0.055) and female (p=0.052), in pre-test (rest) and posttest (30% MVC Training) SBP were significant but DBP non-significant (P=0.001*, 0.005NS respectively) in Male and Female (P=0.001*, 0.005NS respectively), the comparison of mean Pulse/min. in pre-test (rest) and posttest (30% MVC Training) are significant (P<0.001) in Male and Female respectively. The total Cholesterol, total triglyceride, HDL Cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and VLDL Cholesterol were insignificant in male & female. Conclusion: The current study shows that 12 weeks of unilateral IHG training elicits reduction in mean arterial pressure at rest. Although the reported reduction in arterial pressure appears modest, recent studies indicate that small reductions in diastolic arterial pressure in the population would have significant health benefits.
