Abstract
The rise of cases of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) such as hypertension and diabetes in developing countries is due to the sedentary lifestyles. Aims and Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of 4-week treadmill exercise on the blood pressure of young adult males. Methods:50 young healthy adult male who joined the grid iron gym was selected for the study. The mean SBP and DBP of the subject were taken pre and post 4 weeks treadmill exercise for the comparison. Results: This study shows that the 4-week treadmill exercise was effective in significantly reducing mean SBP and mean DBP by 2.76mm Hg and 1.49mm Hg respectively Conclusions:The risk of stroke and CHD is directly related to level of BP throughout the normotensive and hypertensive range. By reducing the SBP and DBP by life style modification and proper exercise we can reduce the case of mortality and morbidity due to hypertension, stroke and CHD.
