Ihe trainings can reduce the baseline blood pressure and heart rate in young healthy adults:- “a comparative study among male and female subjects”

Background: Isometric handgrip exercises is a simple, cheap and feasible form of physical exercise which can be performed at the person’s convenience at any time or place and it may reduces the resting blood pressure & heart rate.The psychological behavior, physical activities and hormones may alter the effect of IHE exercises and it provides data difference between different Sex. Aim & Objective:- To evaluate the changes in baseline parameters BP & HR ,and compare them between male & female after the exercise training. Materials and Methods: The Comparative study was conducted in the Department of Physiology , Jhalawar Medical College, Rajasthan,for a period of 3 months,After obtaining approval and clearance from the institutional ethical committee, we conduct study on 72 medical students(40 male & 32 female)in the age group of 19 to 25 years.IHE Test performed by handgrip spring dynamometer and MVC are Recorded by Full grip of dynamometer from dominant hand for a brief duration of 4 - 5 second.Each time 3 squeeze of maximum voluntary contraction(MVC) are recorded and mean of these three readings was taken as maximal isometric tension(Tmax). Protocol consisted of five 3-min bouts of IHE exercise at 30% of Tmax separated by 5 min rest periods. Exercise was performed 3 times/wk for 3 months. Results: The DBP decreased significantly but No significant changes was seen in HR, and SBP in all female volunteers in Comparison to male in which SBP & DBP decreased significantly but No significant changed seen in HR.The DBP decreased from (74.1875± 8.23 to 72.1563±6.37) mm hg in all female subjects. Conclusions: A Descriptive Comparative Study of 3-month IHE training, significantly decreased DBP in female volunteers in Comparison of male groups Where SBP & DBP was decreased significantly but No significant changes was observed in HR.
