Background : Hypertensives often have impaired exercise tolerance and they are prone to develop coronary artery disease(CAD) which often results in functional disability. This pattern of cycle of inactivity and physical deconditioning consequently affects, daily activity and therefore quality of life is reduced.(1) person suffering from hypertension has diminished muscle strength, perceived fatigue, decrease in the sense of well being. Exercise intolerance&anti hypertensive medications may be responsible for these limitations. Research studies report that those who are on antihypertensive drugs shows decreased motor speed, mental flexibility. The purpose of this study is to find out immediate effect of aerobic exercise on grip strength, dexterity, mental well being.

Abstract


Background : Hypertensives often have impaired exercise tolerance and they are prone to develop coronary artery disease(CAD) which often results in functional disability. This pattern of cycle of inactivity and physical deconditioning consequently affects, daily activity and therefore quality of life is reduced.(1) person suffering from hypertension has diminished muscle strength, perceived fatigue, decrease in the sense of well being. Exercise intolerance&anti hypertensive medications may be responsible for these limitations. Research studies report that those who are on antihypertensive drugs shows decreased motor speed, mental flexibility. The purpose of this study is to find out immediate effect of aerobic exercise on grip strength, dexterity, mental well being.
