【 摘 要 】

Background and Objective: Cardio-respiratory fitness refers to the ability of the circulatory and respiratory systems to supply oxygen to skeletal muscles during sustained physical activity. In the present study, the Cardio-Respiratory Fitness in Healthy Medical Students of Gulbarga District was investigated. Materials and Methods: The present work was conducted in the Dept. Of Physiology, M R Medical College, Gulbarga after the institutional ethical clearance. In this study, 50 male medical students of school aged between 18-20 years who are diseases free and who were born and brought up in Gulbarga district (Karnataka) with the same socioeconomic status were included. Exercise was performed and data were recorded by automatic computerized treadmill. Lung Function Tests and data were recorded by using computerized vitalography. The data were analysed using one-way ANOVA. P value less than 0.05 was the level of significance. R esults: The result reflects a Significant increase (p<0.001) in both pre and post exercise changes and a negative correlation(r= 0.048, p=0.05) between BMI and PFI score was observed.  A significant increase (t=5.16, p<0.001) of exercise induced rise in SBP of medical students and no significant difference between pre and post exercise DBP in medical students was found. A non-significant change of vital capacity between pre and post exercise and changes of reduction of FEV1 (%) is found to be statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusion: The percent recovery of heart rate in medical students reflects a better cardiovascular efficiency.
