| dc.description.abstract | The incidence of cardiovascular disease has been increasing at a rapid rate in recent time;. Health care professionals and cardiologists have been attempting to find reliable methods of finding predisposition of individuals to cardiovascular disease. Cold Pressor Test has been extensively used for this purpose. This study was conducted to find out the differences between female athletes and non-athletes in their myocardial response to Cold Pressor Test, in order to infer the protective effect of physical training against cardiovascular disease. Myocardial response was inferred from pulse rate and double product (pulse rate multiplied by systolic blood pre-sure) response to Cold Pressor Test. Twenty female university athletes and twenty non-athletes females were selected at random from the female student population of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria to serve as subjects in the study. Pre and post Cold Pressor Test recordings of blood pressure and pulse rate and double product responses to Cold Pressor Test among female athletes compared to non-athletes. This is attributed to improved myocardial function due to physical training, which provides protective effects against the incidence of cardiovascular disease. | en_US |
