Abstract-The effects of aerobic exercise therapy on cardio-respiratory function were investigated in 8 chronic hypertensive female patients(stage I-II with WHO criteria). Their ages ranged from 42 to 59 years old and they had not exercised
regulary
before doing this exercise training therapy.
Subjects participated in a 6 months exercise training with three times per week performing biocycle ergometer exercise for 60 minutes per day. The intensity of exercise training was set to the level of lactate threshold(LT) determined by
incremental
biocycle ergometer exercise method.
@ES The following results were obtained
@EN 1. The mean maximal oxygen uptake(VO2max) increased significantly from 19.74±4.25 to 23.74±4.88ml/kg/min(p<0.01) after exercise training.
2. The mean resting heart rate decreased from 75±1.5 to 70.3±8.8 beats/min after exercise therapy, but not significant.
3. The mean resting systolic and diastolic blood pressure were decreased significantly from 152±14.1 to 130.5±19.2mmHg and from 102.0±7.8 to 91.5±3.8 mmHg respectively, after exercise training.
These results indicated that the prescription of a long term aerobic exercise therapy is effective to decrease blood pressure, and to improve the cardiorespiratory functions in hypertensive patients.
