Comparison of Heart Rate at Moderate Work Between Regular and Occasional Participants in Sports

Dr. Subhabrata Kar

Abstract

The heart is a muscular organ that is the connection between the pulmonary and systemic circulatory systems. The heart produces contractile force that moves blood around the body. The primary mechanisms for an increase in heart rate with exercise are related to neural and hormonal control. At the onset of exercise the parasympathetic neural activity is reduced and this alone will result in an increase in heart rate. Subsequently, sympathetic neural drive is increased and this will also increase heart rate.

The Purpose of this Study is to compare the resting heart rate between regular and occasional male participants by comparing the peak heart rate between regular and occasional male participants and by comparing the recovery heart rate between regular and occasional male participants. Here the regular participants means the person who participate some specific physical exercise regularly for developing physical fitness and the person who does not participate in a specific physical exercise regularly is called an occasional participant. The subjects for this study were selected from Manindra Chandra Vidyapith, Berhampore, Murshidabad, West Bengal. The fifteen regular and fifteen occasional participants (boys) between the age of 14–15 years, were selected randomly for this study.

Here, resting heart rates were recorded by Palpation Method from carotid artery following a complete resting condition for at least half-an-hour for each subject, peak heart rate was measured after 5 minutes of stepping up on the selected bench peak heart rate was recorded for carotid artery. The cadence was set at 24 / minutes as well as recovery heart rate was measured after 5 minutes of stepping-up recovery heart rates recorded at an interval of 1 – 1.5 min., 2 – 2.5 min., 3 – 3.5 min., 5 – 5.5 min. and 10 – 10.5 min. respectively. After collecting the data, they were analysed through statistical manipulation. Table–3 shows ANOVA of different states of Heart Rate. The ‘F’ values obtained are 68.28 for regular participants and 161.43 for occasional participants which are significant at 0.05 level.

The mean resting heart rate of occasional participation group is significantly higher than the regular participation group. The mean peak heart rate following exercise of regular participation group is significantly lower than the occasional participation groups. The mean recovery heart rate after exercise of regular participation group is significantly lower than the occasional participation groups.

Key words: Heart Rate, Moderate work, Regular sports participants, Occasional sports participants.
