Gomez (1983) found out t h a t about two t h i r d 2/3 of a l l t u b e r c u l o s is p a t i e n t s s u r v i v e d w i t h drugs and ambulatory t r e a t m e n t. I f t r e a t m e n t was s t a r t e d l a t e and v i c t i m s r e s t e d too l o n g , many a b n o r m a l i t i e s and c o m p l i c a t i o n s r e s u l t e d, b e c a u s e t u b e r c u l o s i s d e s t r o y s t h e l u n g s . This gave way to the p h y s i c a l f i t n e s s need for t u b e r c u l o s is p a t i e n t s a d m i t t e d to the h o s p i t a l s for months w i t h o ut e x e r c i s e . When t h e d i s e a s e d lungs a r e not e x e r c i s e d, l u n g s c o l l a p s e could o c c u r. The s u b j e c t s for t h e study were t u b e r c u l o s is p a t i e n t s In ward four (4) of J o s U n i v e r s i t y Teaching H o s p i t a l . Out of twenty (20) p a t i e n t s on a d m i s s i on i n ward four (1) of JUTH, F i v e (5) were s e l e c t ed b a s e d on t h e i r a b i l i t i e s to undergo t h e t e s t . P e r m i s s i o n was sought from t h e t h o r a c o l o g i s t , and the t h o r a c i c n u r s i n g o f f i c e r s i n c h a r g e of t h e c h e s t ward f o u r (4) of JUTH f o r r e s e a r c h an all t u b e r c u l o s i s p a t i e n ts The subjects took part in regular aerobic exercise t r a i n i n g on bench step at a prescribed I n t e n s i t y of 40% - 60% maximal heart rate for 20 - 30 minutesper training session, for three a l t e r n a t e days a week for eight weeks. Measures of body weight, r e s t i n g heart r a t e , blood pressure, temperature r e s p i r a t i o n and physical fitness index were taken: l Before training commenced 2. Four weeks after commencement of t r a i n i n g and 3. at the end of eight weeks. The data collected were s t a t i s t i c a l l y analysed u s i ng ANOVA , Sc heffe' s Test, and t. - t e s t s t a t i s t i c s . Based on the r e s u l t s of the a n a l y s i s , it was found that the body weight, d i a s t o l i c blood pressure, heart r a t e , and physical fitness index were s t a t i s t i c a l ly s i g n i f i c a n t ( p < 0 . 0 5 ) . For body temperate, r e s p i r a t i o n , and s y s t o l i c blood pressure were however found to be Insignificant ( p < . 0 5 ). The data from t h i s study show that there was no s i g n i f i c a n t effect of aerobic bench step e x e r c i s e on s y s t o l i c blood pressure, and r e s p i r a t i o n of pulmonary tuberculosis p a t i e n t s . However, it waw observed that eight weeks aerobic training on bench step s i g n i f i c a n t ly improved the cardio-respiratory fitness of the tuberc u l o s i s p a t i e n t s as supported by a decline in heart r a t e, d i a s t o l i c blood pressure, and increase in physical f i t n e s s index.en_US
