Abstract

Background: Cardiovascular response to exercise if abnormal may serve as a future predictor of cardiovascular morbidity in otherwise normotensive individuals. So, the study was designed (i) To assess the cardiovascular response in Bruce sub-maximal exercise tests. (ii) to see correlation between cardiovascular response and anthropometric variables. Method: 125 males 18-25 years underwent first three stages of the original Bruce protocol. Heart rate, blood pressure and ECG were recorded before, during each stage and after taking the treadmill test. Results: During the exercise heart rate and systolic BP rose and diastolic BP fell. Correlation analysis showed highly significant positive correlation between BMI and pre-exercise systolic BP, post-exercise heart rate and post-exercise systolic BP in. ECG showed no significant ST/T or rhythm changes during or after the exercise. Conclusion: Higher BMI was found to be correlated with higher resting systolic BP, higher post-exercise heart rate as well as higher post-exercise systolic BP.
