Dr. Rakesh Singh Gadhwal, Dr. Rajendra S Kushwah

Abstract :

Physical fitness is essential to lead a healthy life. Blood pressure is the lateral pressure exerted by column of blood on wall of blood vessels and it is affected by the exercise. There is lack of data evaluating the impact of aerobic exercise on blood pressure in central India context; therefore the purpose of the study is to observe the effect of aerobic exercise on blood pressure in young adults. Blood pressure was measured on first day and after 42 days of aerobic exercise in young healthy adults. Systolic blood pressure is reduced from 120.93 � 7.82 mmHg to 119.043 � 8.78 mmHg with p value, 0.0005 and diastolic blood pressure is reduced from 80.82 � 2.93 mmHg to 78.23 � 3.73 mmHg with p value, 0.00001. Aerobic exercise has effect on blood pressure or it may be one of preventive measure to reduce blood pressure.
