Summary

To determine the Effects of 6 weeks of Step Aerobics Training on Pulmonary Functions among females with sedentary life style. Traditional aerobic training programs has great effects to improved pulmonary functions in individuals with sedentary life style but on the other hand there is another type of aerobic training named step aerobic which is different from traditional training up-to knowledge has less work on pulmonary function but effective on functional score, and walking velocity this gap further need to identify. This study will help us to choose either of training program to get maximum beneficial outcomes particularly on pulmonary function test on female students with sedentary life style.

Detailed description

A sedentary lifestyle is defined as an individual living with very little or no physical activity. In daily routine the person spending most of his or her time in watching television, playing games on mobile ,using internet, reading books , often sitting or lying down while doing these activities. It can lead to many health problems and potentially very harmful. Aerobic exercise is defined as physical exertion that depends upon energy generating process. Aerobic defined as something relating to and involving which required free oxygen. During aerobic exercise maximum use of oxygen can meet the energy demand of the body. Activities with light to moderate intensities that adequately meet the demands of aerobic metabolism, this can be performed for long period of times.There is a term use aerobic exercise that is "solely" aerobic which is defined as low intensity is required to consumed all carbohydrates in the body and termed them into energy. According to this ,some common examples of aerobic exercise that are walking , swimming , jogging, running and cycling. Aerobic has great impact on decrease the severity of depression and anxiety . Another study on people who are suffered from depression , asked them to walk for 30 minutes on treadmill and reassess them after 10 days. The results shows significant increase and improvement in their mood and reduction in overall depression episodes and symptoms, they feel fresh and more alive start participate in daily activities . Their negative thoughts which make them depressive also get reduced to some extent .The results shows that physical activity or exercise only for a short period of time may give you a boost in your mood and overall health status. Only a single exercise session has a great impact on the overall mental health. Another research was conducted on target matching foot stepping to evaluate the proprioception and function of knee osteoarthritis . It includes functional score , walking velocity and overall knee performance to determine the efficacy of knee osteoarthritis. The exercise was designed to perform in sitting position as knee arthritic patients are not able to tolerate in standing position.
