The Effect of Submaximal Physical Activity for 30 Minutes on Changes in Blood Pressure

THE EFFECT OF SUBMAXIMAL PHYSICAL ACTIVITY FOR 30 MINUTES ON BLOOD PRESSURE CHANGES IN HEALTHY PEOPLE

 

Background : Exercise is very beneficial for maintaining health and improving the quality of life. Optimal exercise is exercise that uses 60-80% of the maximum capacity of the heart rate or commonly referred to as submaximal exercise.

Destination : This study aims to determine how submaximal physical activity affects changes in blood pressure.

Research methods : This study is an experimental study in which subjects will be given a workload at submaximal capacity for 30 minutes and changes in blood pressure will be measured every 3 minutes. The study was conducted on 50 healthy subjects aged 15-35 years based on the PAR-Q (Physical Activity Readiness Questionnare) criteria.

Results : The data obtained were then analyzed using the SPSS program with the one-way ANOVA method. Analysis of the probability results, the systolic F value is 1.040 with p = 0.408, while the diastolic F value is 1.318 with p = 0.217. the prevailing hypothesis is that if p > 0.05 then Ho is accepted or the systolic and diastolic averages are not significantly different.

Conclusion : there was no significant difference in changes in blood pressure during submaximal physical activity for 30 minutes.
