Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Research - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: The present study was undertaken to examine the effect of aerobic exercise training on hypertensive women, there is substantial evidence that the use of aerobic exercise is associated with a reduction in hypertension Objective of the study: - Aim of this study is to find out the effect of aerobic exercise on systolic and diastolic blood pressure among hypertensive women. Methodology: - The study was Experimental design set up in JIG N JOGS fitness centre, Kilpauk Chennai. 35 Female hypertensive subjects were selected by Simple Random sampling Procedure: - Adult women aged 18 – 60 years with grade-1 hypertension were recruited for 6 weeks aerobic exercise training program. At the beginning of each exercise session blood pressure recordings were taken before the warm up period after recording the pre exercise blood pressure. After the warm up period, the subjects performed 20 minutes of bicycle ergometer within 50 – 60% heart rate. This was recorded using a wrist watch heart rate monitor. Rest was given when the subjects needed, The blood pressure was then monitored after the cool down. For statistical analysis the Blood Pressure at the beginning of 1st week and Blood Pressure at the end of 6th week were taken and results were obtained. Results: - Data for pre diastole shows a mean value of 82.33 and 27 standard error of mean. The post diastole values at the end of 6th week shows a mean value of 82.07 and 26 standard error of mean. When pre-diastole and post diastole were compared using paired sample T-test, it shows a p-value of 0.043 which states a slight significance at 0.05 level. This analysis shows that the diastolic blood pressure has been slightly reduced after the aerobic exercise regime. Conclusion: - The overall result suggests that aerobic training may lower conventional blood pressure and that borderline hypertension.
