Abstract
Introduction Exercise is planned, structured, repetitive and intentional movement intended to improve or maintain physical fitness [1]. Physical exercise causes the heart to pump blood into the circulation more efficiently as a result of more forceful and efficient myocardial contractions, increased perfusion of tissues and organs with blood, and increased oxygen delivery [2]. The present knowledge of blood pressure behaviour during and instantly after physical activity is relatively scarce [3-5]. It is within the scope of knowledge, that athlete’s heart rate at rest and sub-maximal workloads may be considered low when compared to the general population [6-8]. Clinical studies have revealed that in athletes heart rates return to basal level faster than sedentary individuals. It is well known that sinus bradycardia in athletes is due to the heart adapting to the physical stresses that it is put under by the athlete’s physical activity [9]. Aim Assess the dynamic variation occurring in blood pressure and heart rate in athletes versus healthy sedentary individuals for a given amount of exercise. Methods A total of 180 Lithuanian males aged between 21-25 years volunteered to participate in the study. Male athletes (N.=90) were included in the study based on the criteria of at least 2 years of regular aerobic training and they were compared with untrained healthy sedentary individuals (N.=90). Exercise performance test was Harvard step test. The individual who is taking the test steps up and down on a platform in a cycle of two seconds. The platform is at a height of about 50 cm. The rate of 30 steps per minute must be sustained for five minutes or until exhaustion. Statistical analyses were performed using the SPSS 20.0 software. The value of P<0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results The mean systolic blood pressure in untrained healthy sedentary individuals before exercise was statistically [...].
