Abstract
The purpose of the current study is the comparison and relationship of eight weeks aerobic with lifestyle, blood pressure and heart rate of girl’s university students of Islamic Azad University of Darrehshahr city In this survey, 35 girl’s students who were studying in the second semester participated in the study. The mean age of subjects, was 23.5±3.51 year, 57.13±4.69 kg, 157.23±3.92cm, and 23.01± 1.22kg/m² respectively and were randomly divided into control and experimental groups. In a pretest the lifestyle of participant was identified via Breslow questionnaire; the blood pressure of test takers was done by a medical pressure tool and medical ear tool. The exercise protocols determined for participants of the study were; making warm the body for ten minutes, doing Ellestad aerobic exercise with intensity of heart rate from 50 to 70 with the time of nearly 15 to 30 minutes each section of activity, in eight weeks and two sessions in each week. Cooling the body and returning to the previous position for 10 to 15 minutes. By using T-test and Pearson correlation coefficient the data were analyzed (P<0.05). The lifestyle of the test takers didn’t change meaningfully before pretest to after post test. But the blood pressure change was meaningful, i.e. affected by eight weeks exercise decreased (P<0.05), but the heart rate of the test takers didn't show a meaningful difference (P>0.05). It was also known that there was not a meaningful relationship between the lifestyle and blood pressure before the survey. But after aerobic exercise this relationship was meaningful (P<0.05). There was not a meaningful relationship between lifestyle and heart rate before and after aerobic exercise (P>0.05). It is understood that eight weeks aerobic exercise for changing university student’s lifestyle has not been adequate and nutrition and exercise or sporting activities are vital and important for promoting hygienic behaviors.
