Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investgate change of cardio-pulmonary function an aerobic exercise. A total of 56 males, age from 30 to 69, were recruited as the subjects. The participant were healthy subjects who exercise regulary through jogging for 3 months. In other to measure the Cardio-pulmonary function, the following equipment was used: Heart rate meter PE 3000, Velcro cuff ALPD2 and SPIROLITE 220, The results were as follows; The major finding of this study were that after jogging exercise than before, the heart function for all age groups was elevated and a significant (p<01). With the exception of FEV_1, pulmonary indicaters were strengthened a significant (p<01). By the jogging exercise, the systolic blood pressure was decreased in all groups, but the decreased was not significant. Apparent differences in FVC and FEV_1 between pre and post jogging exercise were obsered in participants, age from 30-49. No significant difference between (30-39) and (60-69) were found. The subject, age from 50-69, tend to decreased rapidly in MVV. The profile for VC were very similar for both group and no significant differences were found.
