In all 1638 (790 male and 848 female) apparently healthy students with age ranged between 12 and 18 years were selected from 11 schools (8 public and 3 private). The Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and blood pressure of the subjects were measured. \u0000Results: A significant negative correlation between CRF and blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) was observed. There was significant curvilinear graded relation between CRF and blood pressure.

The objective of this study was to determine if the cardiovascular responses to upper extremities isometric exercises differ between apparently healthy male end female subjects. \u0000Methods: One hundred and sixty apparently healthy adults with the mean age of 39.0 ± 11.04 years were consecutively recruited into the study. This consisted of 80 males (39.0 ± 10.82 years) and 80 females (38.96 ± 11.25). Data were obtained on participants' age, height, weight, body mass index, blood pressure, heart rate, and Rate Pressure Product. Data were summarized using descriptive statistics of mean and standard deviation. Independent t-test was used to compare physical characteristics between genders while repeated measure of ANOVA was used to compare the pre and post isometric exercises cardiovascular parameters between genders. Level of significance for all tests was set at p< 0.05. \u0000Results: The baseline cardiovascular parameters were not significantly different (p> 0.05) between the male and the female participants. The post exercise cardiovascular parameters were significantly greater (p< 0.05) than the baseline values without gender bias. However, the post exercise SBP and RPP were significantly different (p< 0.05) between the male and the female participants respectively. \u0000Conclusion: Isometric exercises of the upper limbs can lead to a significant increase in cardiovascular parameters among apparently healthy male and female subjects. Higher ventricular contraction is evoked among males leading increased SBP while the myocardial oxygen uptake and the measure of the oxygen consumption of the heart muscles of the female participants in response to upper extremities isometric exercises is higher than that of the males as demonstrated by the RPP. \u0000Key words: Isometric exercises, cardiovascular response, upper extremities exercises.","PeriodicalId":185801,"journal":{"name":"Nigerian Journal of Medical Rehabilitation","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124903399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Low level cardiovascular fitness is also associated with risk of T2DM. An association between Pulse Index (PI) and MS requires further description. This study sought to determine the association between PI and components of MS. Methods: Seventy-seven participants/subjects aged 48.6±6.52 years with T2DM were enrolled into the study at Aminu-Kano Teaching Hospital, Kano, Nigeria. PI and components of MS including Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG), Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HBAlc), High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL-CHOL), Triglycerides (TRIG.), Blood Pressure (BP) and obesity were assessed before and after twelve-week therapeutic exercises. Results: Inverse correlations were obtained for PI and each ofFBG (r=-0.45), HBAlc (r=-0.52), TRIG (r=-0.26), BP(r=-0.43/-0.32), Waist Circumference (r=-0.53), BMI (r=-0.79), blood pressure (r=-0.43/-0.32) except HDL-CHOL (r= 0.67), (P< 0.05 for all the subjects/participants). Conclusions: Low-levels of PI were associated with poor glycaemia, hypertension, obesity and dyslipidaemia. Therapeutic exercises aimed at improving cardiovascular fitness may have significant improvement on MS. which in turn aids the prevention of both T2DM and cardiovascular diseases.
