Determine the effect of cardiovascular adaptation to aerobic training in students by: pre & post 6-minutes’ walk test an investigating exercises tool – “cohort study”

Abstract

Regular physical activity levels have been shown to reduce morbidity and mortality from many chronic diseases. Aerobic exercise is advised for health promotion and prophylaxis for many cardiovascular diseases. But the strength and intensity of the aerobic training is not well appreciated to the young students. Determine the effect of cardiovascular adaptation to aerobic training in students: pre & post 6-minutes’ walk test an investigating exercises tool. To compare pre and post exercise Heart rate, blood pressure, SpO₂ levels before and after aerobic exercise training among young adults. Materials & Methods: The study is designed as a cohort study conducted at SVIMS University, utilizing a random voluntary sampling technique with a sample size of 40 participants. The aerobic exercise training was given for 5 days/week and duration of 30 minutes per day was given in the SVIMS University by a certified trainer for a period of 6 weeks. The study participants were attended the exercise programme from 6am to 7am before the breakfast. The baseline values of HR & BP of 6MWT showed statistically decrease between before & after aerobic training (P˂0.001).  The post values of HR & BP of 6MWT showed statistically decrease between before & after aerobic training (P˂0.001). SpO2 was not statistically significant in all this incidence. The results indicate that heart rate and blood pressure decrease significantly pre &post 6MWT before & after aerobic training. Oxygen saturation does not show any change with aerobic exercise training. All these changes help to improve aerobic fitness of a person.
