Prevalence of Hypotension Among Gymmers After Using Treadmill

To finding out on identifying the prevalence of hypotension among gym-goers after using a treadmill. The findings aim to help fitness Professionals and Physiotherapists ensure safer exercise practices and prevent health risks in gym settings A cross-sectional study was conducted in Kota, Rajasthan, involving 100 gym-goers aged between 18 to 30 years. Participants who exercised at least 4 days per week and met the inclusion criteria were recruited using random sampling. Blood pressure was recorded before and at intervals post-treadmill exercise. Data were collected via Google Forms and physical monitoring, and analysed using statistical tools to assess mean, median, mode, and standard deviation. • Blood Pressure readings (before and after treadmill use) Heart Rate changes • Severity grading of hypotension (none, moderate, severe) • Out of 60 analysed responses showing symptoms: • 14 participants (23.33%) showed no hypotension, • 24 participants (40%) showed moderate hypotension, and • 22 participants (36.67%) experienced severe hypotension. Participants in the 21–25 age group showed higher susceptibility, with severe hypotension linked to rapid BP drops post-exercise. The findings confirm that a significant portion of gym-goers experience hypotensive episodes following treadmill use. This highlights the need for pre- and post-exercise blood pressure monitoring, trainer awareness, and safer exercise protocols to ensure cardiovascular safety in gyms.
