COMPARATIVE STUDY ON EFFECT OF LIFE STYLE ON LEFT VENTRICULAR FUNCTION BETWEEN SEDENTARY AND NONSEDENTARY INDIVIDUALS
Journal Title: International Journal of Basic and Applied Physiology - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: A sedentary life style includes less than 150 minutes of moderate physical activity or less than 60 minutes of vigorous physical activity per week1.It also refers to any waking activity characterized by energy expenditure ≤ 1.5 metabolic equivalents and a sitting or reclining posture7. Sedentary lifestyles increase all causes of mortality, double the risk of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and obesity, and substantially increase the risks of colon cancer, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, depression and anxiety .8,9 In the present study we have compared left ventricular function between sedentary and nonsedentary subjects. Method: Total 150 healthy male subjects were included in study out of which 50% subjects were living sedentary life and 50% subjects were living nonsedentary life style. Cross sectional study was conducted in which history taking, physical examination and cardiovascular parameters and left ventricular function parameters were taken. Result: The observation revealed that that there was significant difference between cardiovascular parameters and left ventricular function parameters between sedentary and nonsedentary group. Conclusion: lower value of cardiac output, stroke volume and end diastolic volume in sedentary subjects compared to nonsedentary subjects predisposes them to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
