Comparison of Blood Pressure and Heart Rate between Young Males and Females During Dominant and Non-Dominant Single-Leg Stance
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Objective: The objective of this study is to compare the significant changes in Blood Pressure and Heart Rate in young college going males and females while standing on there dominant and non-dominant lower limb (single-leg stance).
Subjects: 200 subjects (100-males, 100-females) of the age group of 18 to 25yrs
Study Design: Co-relational
Data Analysis: P-Value was calculated for the systolic and diastolic blood pressure separately and as well as of Heart Rate in resting, single-leg stance on dominant leg and single-leg stance on nondominant leg in both Males and Females.
Conclusion: From The study it can be concluded that while training any individual on single -leg stance on dominant and non-dominant a therapist should take care of the blood pressure and Heart Rate specially while working on hypertensive's, amputees, individuals with cardio-vascular, neurological, psychological and neuro muscular disorders.
