Brief Summary

A total of 58 participants were selected and divided into two groups equally, namely, elderly, and young groups with the age groups of 60-80 years and 20-30 years, respectively. The Heart Rate (HR), Respiratory Rate (RR), Blood Pressure (BP), Oxygen Saturation (SaO2), and Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) for each participant were assessed before and after the treatment session.

Conditions

Healthy

Keywords

Blood pressure; Isometric exercise

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Blood Pressure (BP)

  Both systolic and diastolic blood pressures were measured by a trained physiotherapist in the right upper arm using an appropriate-sized cuff at the baseline and the end of the intervention using an automated Dinamap MPS Select device (Johnson \& Johnson, New Brunswick, NJ).

  Change from baseline blood pressure at 1 day

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Respiratory Rate (RR)

  Change from baseline respiratory rate at 1 day

• Oxygen Saturation (SaO2)

  Change from baseline oxygen saturation at 1 day

• Heart Rate (HR)

  Change from baseline heart rate at 1 day

• Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)

  Change from baseline mean arterial pressure at 1 day

Study Arms (2)

Elderly isometric exercise

EXPERIMENTAL

Quadriceps isometric exercise.

Other: Exercises

Young isometric exercise

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Quadriceps isometric exercise.

Other: Young isometric exercise

Interventions

Exercises OTHER

The elderly participants in the experimental group underwent a single session of 5-minute quadriceps isometric exercise. The participant was asked to take a rest of 10 minutes before performing the exercise. After that, the exercise was performed from a long-sitting position.

Elderly isometric exercise

Young isometric exercise OTHER

The young participants in the experimental group underwent a single session of 5-minute quadriceps isometric exercise. The participant was asked to take a rest of 10 minutes before performing the exercise. After that, the exercise was performed from a long-sitting position.
