Abstract
The study aimed at evaluating post-exercise cardiopulmonary responses in young adult males who masticated and ingested Cola nitida prior to moderate exercise. The cardiopulmonary responses studied were heart rate, pulse pressure and respiratory rate. A total of 20 apparently healthy male volunteers were studied. They were subdivided into 4 subgroups A, B, C and D. The subjects in Group A served as control and were not given Cola nitida , while the subjects in groups B, C and D were given 100mg/kg, 200mg/kg and 400mg/kg of Cola nitida respectively. Prior to the exercise baseline cardiopulmonary parameter were recorded using standard clinical methods. The subjects subsequently chewed and ingested appropriate doses of Cola nitida . Ninety minutes post ingestion; they warmed up for 5 minutes and then mounted the threadmill at an inclination of 2% at 5mph for 30 minutes. Thereafter the immediate cardiopulmonary responses such as pulse rate, pulse pressure and respiratory rate were recorded one minute post exercise. Results were presented as Mean ± SD and analyzed using appropriate ANOVA with post hoc Tukey HSD test and p 0.05) amongst test groups. Cola nitida increases the post-moderate-exercise pulse rate, pulse pressure and respiratory rate in young male adults. Keywords: exercise, cola nitida , cardiopulmonary, young male
Highlights
Exercise is an organized and coordinated musculoskeletal movement that aims at keeping the body in a state of physical and mental wellbeing
Overall the increased metabolism and oxygen demand is associated with some immediate cardiopulmonary responses such as increased heart rate and respiratory rate
The acute effects, called responses, are those that occur in direct association with the exercise session; the immediate acute effects are those that occur in the peri and post-immediate physical exercise periods, with elevation on the cardiac frequency, pulmonary ventilation and sidoresis, while the late acute effects occur along the first 24 or 48 hours after a physical exercise session, being identified in the slight reduction on the tensional levels, especially in hypertensive individuals, in the expansion of the plasmatic volume, in the improvement of the endothelial function (Araujo, 2001) and in the action improvement and increase on the insulin sensitivity in the skeletal musculature (Rondon and Brum, 2003)
Summary
Exercise is an organized and coordinated musculoskeletal movement that aims at keeping the body in a state of physical and mental wellbeing. Overall the increased metabolism and oxygen demand is associated with some immediate cardiopulmonary responses such as increased heart rate and respiratory rate. Thereafter respiratory rate, Pulse rate and blood pressures were recorded in the first one minute of exercise and that reflected the immediate post exercise cardiopulmonary response.
