| Abstract |
This study was to investigate the effects of acute basketball program on blood pressure and arterial stiffness in adolescent. The subjects of this study were twenty-two male students in a middle school and they were divide into two groups(athletes: n=11, control: n=11). Both group conducted basketball training program for 60 min(warm-up: 5 min, main exercise: 50 min, cool down: 5 min). The result of this study is following : systolic and diastolic blool pressure show the no change in athletes group but control group significantly decreased compared to baseline. In the changes of arterial stiffness, ABI(R) and ABI(L) significantly decreased in control group and exercise group respectively compared to baseline. Both group PWV(R) significantly decreased more than baseline, while there was no difference between the groups. In conclusion, regardless of blood function and ages, physical activity can contribute to improvement of blood health. Therefore, aerobic exercise will be able to prevent metabolic syndrome(include cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity) in adult. |
