Blood pressure and ECG variables of healthy young males and females participating in moderate aerobic exercise

Changes in blood pressure and electrocardiogram are important factors that determine exercise testing. This study investigated blood pressure and electrocardiogram (ECG) changes in healthy young adults after performing acute moderate aerobic exercise protocols. Forty young healthy untrained non-athletes, twenty males and twenty females (age, 25 ± 5.6 years; body weight, 65 ± 4.0 kg; body height, 176.9 ± 2.5 cm) were recruited for the study. The exercise regimen was acute moderate exercise for 20 min on a treadmill consistently for 14 days daily at the speed of 13 km/h. The body weight, blood pressure, and electrocardiograph were measured before and after exercise. There was a significant reduction (P
