Simple Exercise Tolerance in Male 1st Year MBBS Students- a probable indirect effect of mental stress
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 11
Abstract
Mental stress in medical students is a global phenomenon. In the present study searching for any indirect effect of mental stress we measured mental stress level through SRQ 20 and also the resting pulse rate , BP and ECG tracings of 158 medical students (cases) and 165 students pursuing non professional academic courses (controls),all of whom were found healthy through detailed clinical examination. We then allowed them to exercise on bicycle ergometer with maximal speed for 30 minutes. We again measured pulse rate BP and ECG tracings 5 minutes after exercise. There were significant increases in pulse rate, BP and decrease in RR intervals in ECG in both cases and controls post exercise, but there was significant increase in pre & post exercise pulse rate, BP & decrease in RR intervals in cases as compared to controls. Moreover there was strongly positive co-relation in between mental stress scores and pulse rat and SBP in cases. Both of these findings indicate that mental stress is actually attributable for higher pulse rate, SBP and decreased RR intervals in cases.
