Aerobic And Anaerobic

Background: Cigarette smoking is common among the male collegiate population. It causes various negative effects on their body, particularly it affects the lungs. Hence, the aim of this study is to compare the aerobic and anaerobic capacities among the smoker and non-smoker male collegiate population. Methods: 68 healthy male college students participated in this study. Aerobic capacity was assessed by 3-minute step test. Anaerobic capacity was assessed by 30-meter sprint fatigue test. T-test was used to compare the data between groups. Result: Present study reported that smokers had a higher heart rate after performing 3-minute step test. The fatigue index was higher in smokers as compared to non-smokers. Conclusion: From the present study it can be concluded that cigarette smoking reduces the aerobic and anaerobic capacities of an individual.

Aerobic And Anaerobic

This study examined the influence of test duration and anaerobic capacity on VO2max and the occurrence of a VO2 plateau during treadmill exercise in 25 boys (10.4 ± 0.8 years). Protocols with 1-min (P1) and 2-min (P2) stages, but identical speed and grade changes, were used to manipulate test duration. On separate days, VO2max was measured on P1 and P2, and 200-m run time was assessed. At maximal exercise, VO2, heart rate (HR), and pulmonary ventilation (VE) were similar between protocols, however, respiratory exchange ratio (RER) and treadmill elevation were higher (p < .05) on P1 than on P2. Plateau achievement was not significantly different. On P1, there were no differences between plateau achievers and nonachievers. On P2, test duration and 200-m run time were superior (p < .05), and relative VO2max tended to be higher (p < .10) in plateau achievers. Indices of aerobic and anaerobic capacity may influence plateau achievement on long, but not short duration tests.

Heart Rate Monitoring

According to statistics in Taiwan, the proportion of students engaged in regular exercise has declined drastically with the increase in education level. This study thus aims to provide a platform for monitoring of group cardiorespiratory fitness to allow users such as teachers or coaches to easily monitor a group’s exercise condition, intensity and duration to increase exercise efficiency, promote exercise motivation and reduce exercise risk. Based on group measurement concept and wearable chest strap textiles integrated with heart rate monitoring devices, teachers or coaches can immediately acquire and display all heart rate information on a notebook computer together with synchronous field projection display. The acquired heart rate data can also be automatically recorded and analyzed to assist in assessing the physical fitness. Our proposed platform aims to monitor the cardiorespiratory fitness in group mainly for college students and young office worker. To validate the stability of our platform in the long term, we recruited the college students in a physical fitness class, 35 in total, as the subjects for long term observation. In the experiments the subjects are divided into “varsity group” and “sedentary group” according to whether they are with or without regular exercise habits. Subjects wearing chest straps were instructed to take the 3-minute Step Test and the 5-minute constant intensity exercise test. The results show that the “varsity group” has a lower resting heart rate ([Formula: see text][Formula: see text]bpm vs. [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]bpm), a lower exercise heart rate ([Formula: see text][Formula: see text]bpm vs. [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]bpm) and a lower mean heart rate ([Formula: see text][Formula: see text]bpm vs. [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]bpm). The “Varsity group” also has a higher heart rate recovery percentage at the first minute ([Formula: see text] vs. [Formula: see text]) and the second minute ([Formula: see text] vs. [Formula: see text]). Moreover, all these indexes have a high correlation with the fitness index in the 3-minute Step Test, among which the percentage of heart rate recovery in the first minute shows the highest positive correlation ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]). Our wearable heart rate monitoring system can thus be deemed as effective to provide a platform for measurement of group heart rates and for assessment of cardiorespiratory fitness.

Background and Study Aim. Aerobic exercise improves fitness and quality of life and decreases mortality rate. Existence study determined the central hemodynamic adaptation after 8 weeks moderate-intensity continuous countryside jogging in non-athlete male. Material and Methods. Twenty-four untrained healthy male students (aged 20-22 years) volunteered and randomly divided into two groups: continuous training (CTG; n=12) and control (CG; n=12). Training program was countryside jogging for 45 min at 65-70% of Maximum Heart Rate (MHR), 3 days/week for 8-weeks performed. The CG group remained sedentary during the study period. Maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) obtained using the step-test. Standard medical method impedance cardiograph was performed for hemodynamic parameters, during resting and after step-test conditions, before and after the study period. Results. Using t-test, after eight weeks: the resting heart rate (HR) in CTG group significantly decreased (P≤0.05). The systolic blood pressure (SBP) in CTG group decreased significantly at rest and after workload (P≤0.05). The diastolic blood pressure (DBP) did not change in both groups (P>0.05). The stroke volume (SV) increased significantly in CTG group at rest and after workload (P≤0.05).  The cardiac output (CO) did not change in both groups (P>0.05). The cardiac output (CO) did not change in both groups (P>0.05). The VO2max absolute and relative increased significantly in CTG group (P≤0.05). Significant difference between groups in SBP, SV, SVR and VO2max (absolute and relative) (P≤0.05). Conclusions. 8 weeks moderate-intensity continuous countryside jogging can improve the cardiac function and VO2max in selected healthy male. The regular exercise of aerobic with moderate intensity causes positive developments in systolic and diastolic blood pressures.

Introduction: A beneficial influence of exercise on cognitive and brain functions has been established. Exercise is drawing increasing research attention for improving neurocognitive functions.Aims: The aim of the present study is to examine the effect of step up exercise on mental attention with strop test in Bengali male college students.Methodology: Twenty eight (28) apparently healthy male sedentary college students from the same socio-economic background, having mean age of 22.4 ± 1.02 years, body height of 165.3 ± 6.34 cm  and body weight of 55.5 ± 9.01 kg were recruited for the present study on the basis of random sampling from the undergraduate students of the NS Mahavidyalaya of Tripura. A computer based modified ‘Stroop color word’ test based on the original Stroop test (Stroop, 1935) to identify cognitive performance. After completion of stroop test in resting sitting condition participants were asked to complete Queen College Step Test to measure VO2 max. After completion of 3 mins step up exercise a recovery time of 5-15 seconds were taken for VO2 measurement and immediately after taking recovery pulse participants were asked to perform stroop III subtask to see the effect of exercise on the cognitive performance of the college students of Tripura.Results: The mean VO2 max to be found 49.1 ± 6.25 ml.kg-1.min-1.  The mean time to complete Stroop sub task Tasks III was found 194.3 (±46.34) sec.  After 3 minutes step-up exercise it has been shown that the mean stroop III score was improved from 194.3 (±46.34) to 160.4 (± 31.42) sec. Conclusion: It is observed in the present study that the speed of performance (i.e., stoop tasks) is improved after short term moderate exercise.
