Effect of Upper and Lower Extremity
Exercise on Blood Pressure of Healthy Male
Adults

ABSTRACTS
It's essential to understand how exercise impacts blood pressure in order to stay healthy.
The effects of upper and lower extremity workouts on blood pressure in healthy male adults were
examined in this study. Individuals' resting blood pressure was thought to be lowered by frequent
exercise, according to the study. After a sustained increase in systolic and diastolic pressures
shortly after the activity, the decreased resting pressure occurs. The study enlisted 20 adult males
aged 20 and up from La Trobe University to help determine the outcomes. Male adults without
musculoskeletal problems, no hypertension, and no blood pressure-lowering medicines were
required to participate in the study. After a 60-minute rest period, blood pressure was taken for
the third time. Prior to the activity, the upper extremity's systolic blood pressure (SBP) averaged
111 while the lower extremity's SBP was 111.6. SBP was averaged at 128.6 after the upper
extremity training and 123.2 after the lower extremity session. After measuring each
participant's height and weight, a non-invasive automated sphygmomanometer was used to check
their resting blood pressure. After a 30-minute upper- or lower-extremity training, participants'
blood pressure was checked right away. SBP for the upper extremity activity averaged 117.1
after 60 minutes of rest, whereas SBP for the lower extremities exercise was 114.55. The
measurements were taken in mercury millimetres (mmHg). Both lower and upper extremity
activities increased hypertension soon after the workout, according to the findings. However, as
the guy continued to relax, his blood pressure dropped.
INTRODUCTION
Physical activity is commonly thought to promote personal health and lower the chance
of developing certain lifestyle illnesses. According to (Orkaby and Forman, 2018)regular
exercise has several advantages, including better and maximum oxygen intake, greater muscular
strength, endurance, and power. Because the body grows acclimated to endurance, these bodily
functions are essential in ensuring that an individual executes his task without effort. As a result,
the advantages of body workouts are undeniable and well-documented. Regular exercises have
been shown to offer significant advantages for the cardiovascular system in studies. According to
(Wen, Huang and Yuan, 2019), regular practise lowers resting blood pressure. It's important to
remember that pressure refers to the force applied to the artery walls when blood is pushed from
