Summary

Cardiovascular response to exercise affects the capacity of all body organs depending upon intensity, duration and mode of exercises. The aim was to compare acute effects of arm crank with treadmill moderate intensity exercises on heart rate variability in normal participants.

Conditions

  • Heart Rate Variability

Interventions

DEVICE

Arm crank

Each participant practiced on arm crank (Hudson) from long sitting position for 40 minutes. Seat's height and distance were adjusted to achieve full extension of subject arms at horizontal shoulder-level position

DEVICE

Treadmill

Participant practiced on an electronic computerized treadmill for 40 minutes . participant began warming up with lowest speed treadmill exercise for 5 minutes at zero inclination. Treadmill speed was increased gradually to achieve the pre-determined individualized moderate intensity for 30 minutes
