Comparative study of change in physical activity on exercise performance and mental well being
Journal Title: International Journal of Applied Exercise Physiology - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Study investigated the effect of different mode of aerobic exercises on cardiovascular fitness and mental well being. In this regard, 20 young healthy male participants (aged, 18- 30 years) were participated in study. Participants were divided into 2 groups, 10 in each, groups A and group B. Group A participated in combined limb exercise training while, Group B participated in walking exercise training under the supervision of a physical trainer. Resting and maximum pulse rate, resting and maximum systolic and diastolic blood pressure, Treadmill walking exercise fatigue time (TWEFT) and General health questionnaire (GHQ- 12) were investigated in both groups before and after the exercise training. Students paired ttest was applied for pre and post data analysis. Results showed that resting pulse rate, resting SBP, maximum SBP and TWEFT decrease significantly (p<0.05) after combined limb exercise. Walking exercise alone causes decrease in resting pulse and GHQ score. In conclusion combined limb exercise is more beneficial than walking exercise alone. The cardiovascular fitness is improved after combined limb exercise while the mental well being is more pronounced after walking exercise alone. It can be suggested that combination of both forms of physical activity is the proper way to improve cardiovascular fitness and mental well being simultaneously, if practiced regularly.
