Abstract

This research study explores the impact of physical training on the pulse rate of 60 undergraduate students enrolled at Swami Vivekanand Subharti University in Meerut. The main objective of this study is to assess the influence of a structured physical training program on the participants' pulse rate, aiming to provide insights into the potential cardiovascular benefits of regular exercise for young adults. A pre-mid-post intervention design was employed, wherein the 60 participants were randomly divided into two groups: the experimental group (n=30) and the control group (n=30). The experimental group underwent a 12-week physical training program that incorporated a diverse range of aerobic and anaerobic exercises, targeting various muscle groups and cardiovascular fitness. Post-intervention, final pulse rate measurements were taken for both groups, allowing for a comprehensive analysis of any changes that occurred. The analysis of the data revealed statistically significant differences in the pulse rate in experimental and control groups. After the 12-week physical training intervention, the dependent t-test was applied and the experimental group demonstrated a decrease in pulse rate while compared to the control group. These findings suggest that regular physical training can lead to improved cardiovascular health, as indicated by a reduction in pulse rate, potentially contributing to better cardiac efficiency and overall heart health in young adults. In conclusion, this study shows the significance of incorporating regular physical training into the lives of undergraduate students to promote cardiovascular health and overall well-being. By establishing and supporting physical training programs on university campuses, educational institutions can foster a culture of fitness and health among their student population.
