Abstract

 

Aims and Objectives: The aim of research is to compare the  effectiveness of aerobic exercise tranning on treadmill and bicycle ergometer on physiological parameter in hypertensive post menopausal womens. Methodology: A sample of 30 hypertensive post menopausal subjects were recruited for this experimental study. The subjects were
randomly divided in to 2 groups Group A (Treadmill exercise) and Group B (Bicycle ergometer). The exercise session of 30 minutes with intensity set at 60%-65% of the reserve heart rate according to the Karvonen method for 4 week5 training session/week. Data collected in the form of Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP), Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) and Heart Rate (HR) every pre & post exercise session. Results: Comparing of SBP of Group A and Group B at 4 weeks of aerobic training is significance. Comparison of SBP variable has significance difference between the two groups. Discussion: Results of our study explained that aerobic exercise training on treadmill and bicycle ergometer showed the significant lowering effect SBP & DBP but not on HR variable for both group. Treadmill exercise is much more impressive in decreasing systolic blood pressure (SBP) with significant change as compare
to bicycle ergometer. Conclusions: Aerobic physical activity should be considered an important component of lifestyle modification for prevention and treatment of high blood pressure in post menopausal females.
Keywords: SBP; DBP; HR; Treadmill exercise; Bicycle ergometer.
