RISK OF CARDIAC DISEASES DUE TO HYPERTENSION DURING TREADMILL EXERCISE AMONG ECTOMORPHS

OBJECTIVES To determine the effects of exercises by using treadmill leading to cardiac diseases due to HTN response of exercise among ectomorph male and female. STUDY DESIGN An experimental study design was used. STUDY SETTINGS & PARTICIPANTS 30 students that were studying in a reputed institution with BMI of 18.5 (both male and female) were the part of this study. INTERVENTIONS Heart rate and blood pressures were measured through Heart Rate Monitor, Mercury Sphygmomanometer, Weighing Scale Treadmill, and Stadiometer was used to collect data. The data was analyzed through SPSS.16, through paired sample t test. RESULTS No statistically significant differences were obtained in post exercise B.P among ectomorph men and women where as significant difference between pre-exercise and post-exercise heart rates on ectomorph were obtained. CONCLUSIONS B.P and H.R are two significant indicators in our body that give signal about many cardiac diseases silently existing in our body. Our study concluded that the body responses to exercise are similar in both ectomorphs male and female; therefore ectomorphs have equal risk factor for cardiac diseases.
