Abstract
Objective:
The aim of present study was to assess the impact of exercise in trained and untrained exercise
Methodology
: The present study was carried out on 13 male medical students and compared it with 10
male athletes in the age group of 18 to 25 years at Dr. Sampurnanand Medical College, Jodhpur. The
biochemical parameter was serum iron and hemodynamic parameters measured were hemoglobin, pulse
rate and blood pressure in both the groups after overnight rest and after quantified bout of exercise for 5
minutes on Harvard step.
Result:
Serum iron fell from pre-exercise level and was more marked (P<0.01) in untrained. After exercise
there was significant rise (P<0.001) of hemoglobin and pulse rate in untrained (P<0.001). A significant
increase in systolic blood pressure in case of untrained boys (p<0.01) and athletes (p<0.001) was
observed. Whereas decrease in diastolic blood pressure was observed in both the groups but decrease in
diastolic blood pressure were more marked in athletes (P<0.001).
Conclusion:
Exercise induces improvement in hemodynamic status.
