Comparative study of resting and post exercise pulse rates between students of medical education and physical education- a cross sectional study
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical Anatomy and Physiology - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Medical colleges in India have traditionally followed a curriculum stuffed with a large body of knowledge pertaining to asic sciences and clinical disciplines. With expanding body of knowledge, there is over-burdening of the student with ontent information.(1) Unfortunately, heavy academic workloads in medical school make it difficult for medical students o maintain a regular exercise program.(2) Research findings in the last three decades, have shown that physical inactivity nd a negative life style has seriously threatened health and hastened the deterioration rate of human body.(3) On the ther hand Physical Education (PE) is the course that encourages psychomotor learning in a play or movement exploration etting. Physical education class provides a great variety of activities and high intensity exercises for students.(4) It is well nown that rigorous exercise training diminishes certain cardiovascular and hormonal responses to fixed amounts of xercise. Aerobic training is responsible for metabolic adaptations that allow more efficient adjustment of energy xpenditure during exercise recovery.(5) The response of cardiovascular system to standardized exercise is single and the est test for assessing the efficiency of the heart. This test is known as “Cardiac Efficiency Test” or “Stress Testing “or “Exercise Tolerance Test” for which several versions are available ranging from Harvard step test to Tread Mill Test.(6) The strand-Ryhming Step Test (ARST) was developed as a sub maximal variation of the Harvard step test and has been shown to be valid and reliable.(7) Hence the present study was conducted to compare Anthropometrical parameters including MI, resting, peak exercise, 5min after exercise pulse rates and pulse rate recovery following ARST, between students of Medical Education and Physical Education.
