Abstract
Background: A physiological response is the body‟s response to intense fear or the environment around the individual. A physiological response to intense and irrational fear caused by a phobia will manifest itself in physical ways. Aims: the main purpose of this study is to study the physiological responses before and after attending Himalayan trekking camp. Setting and Design: Ten students were taken as the subjects for the study. The age of the subjects ranged from 20-25 years. The design used for the study was pre-post design. Random sampling technique was used for the subject‟s selection. Methods: the current study was performed on the physiological responses of trekkers; pre and post data for the study were assessed on the tests conducted. No training was given to the trekkers because the trekking camp was itself as training programme at the high altitude. Statistical Analysis Used: Dependent t-test was used for comparing the means of pre and post data collected from the trekkers. Results: Though there was no significant level of change occurs in the physiological factors after the camp but little improvement observed. Conclusions: The results conclude that the trekking camp for a longer duration may have highly significant level of change in the physiological factors.
