Effect of Aerobic Exercise on Intraocular Pressure in Young Individuals
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 9
Abstract
Physiological and biochemical changes that occur normally during physical exercise are profound. Intraocular pressure varies throughout the day and night. Henceforth, the diurnal variation for normal eyes is between 3 mmHg and 6 mmHg and the variation tends to increase in glaucomatous eyes. This study was conducted on 40 subjects at Punjabi University, Patiala between 3pm to 6pm. IOP was measured before and after exercise in 40 subjects (20 male, 20 female) with no ocular abnormality or any other systemic abnormality on subjects of age ranging from 17-24 years by using Schiotz tonometer. Weight, height, blood pressure and body mass index was calculated. The results obtained were compared between before and after exercise of subjects. Data is presented as the mean and standard deviation . Student t-test was used to calculate significance between mean. The IOP showed a statistically significant fall following aerobic exercise exercise. Mean IOP significantly decreased (p<0.001), immediately and after 15, 30 minutes (p<0.001) of aerobic exercise when compared to IOP recorded before exercise. Gender wise also showed difference in p value immediately after exercise. So the present study indicates the association of aerobic exercise with IOP.
