To investigate the impact of lifestyle components on cardiorespiratory fitness heart rate and Rating of perceive exertion by performing 6 weeks of moderate intensity exercise in estimating change in VO2 max by performing Harvard bench step test after 6 weeks of exercise program.
Design
STUDY DESIGN:
Quasi-Experimental study
DURATION OF STUDY:
6 months
SAMPLE SIZE:
=34
Settings and conduct
SETTING:
University of Sialkot students.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
• university students
• Age between 18-35 years
Exclusion criteria
• Above the age of 35
• Participant who failed to complete life style questionnaire
• Participants failed to complete the fitness test
• Participant who have congenital heart disease, hypertension, type I diabetes and known kidney disease
will be excluded from the study.
• Participants with known past surgical history’
Intervention groups
1. Information pertaining to individual demographics and lifestyle components will be collected through pre exercise questionnaire.
2. After completing the questionnaire Harvard bench step cardiorespiratory fitness test will be performed. In this test Participants step up and down, on and off an aerobics type step for THREE minutes to increase heart rate and Oxygen consumption
3. After performing test HR, RPE and VO2 max will be calculated.
4. Consequently participants will be instructed to participate in moderate intensity exercise for 6 weeks.
6 weeks later participants again perform bench step and calculate the HR, RPE and VO2 max.
Main outcome variables
To see the effects of 6 weeks of aerobic exercise on Heart rate , cardiorespiratory fitness and rating of perceive exertion in students.
