Correlation of Changes of Heart Rate and Intra Ocular Pressure after Isometric Leg Press Exercise Test in Young Adults
Journal Title: International Journal of Physiology - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective: To correlate the heart rate changes to intraocular pressure before and after leg press exercise Method: Healthy young male adults in the age group of 18-22 years were selected among general population. Sample size was 40. Heart rate and intra ocular pressure (IOP) were recorded at rest and after isometric leg press test. Results: Leg press predictably raised Heart rate(from74±8.9 to 89.5±7.4;p<0.05) and reduced IOP (from 15.1±1.91 to11.6±1.95;p<0.05)Heart rate is significantly and negatively correlated with IOP(Pearson’s correlation coefficient, r= -0.352). Conclusion: Isometric leg press exercise induces raise in heart rate and simultaneously lowers IOP which were significant. Hence may prove useful in normotensive glaucomatous patients
