Comparative study of cardiovascular efficiency between the students of Residential Public School and the students of Non Residential Public School at under Sen. Secondary Level.

Q: What are the key findings of this study?

Boys attending a residential public school demonstrated significantly better cardiovascular efficiency compared to those at a non-residential school (mean score 111.13 vs 97.47, p<0.05).

Q: What is the clinical evidence from this study?

Study design: Cross-Sectional. Population: Healthy students (n=60). Intervention: Residential school attendance vs. Non-residential school attendance. Primary outcome: Cardiovascular efficiency score (Harvard step test) (MD 13.66, p=<0.05).

Q: What does this research mean for the field?

Attending a residential public school is associated with better cardiovascular efficiency compared to attending a non-residential public school among male senior secondary students. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.INCREMENTAL. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

Q: What question did this study set out to answer?

To evaluate and compare cardiovascular efficiency between secondary school male students attending a residential public school and those attending a nonresidential public school.

Key result

Residential school environment linked to ~14% higher cardiovascular efficiency vs non-residential schooling.

MD +13.66
P<0.05
n=60

Why the study?

The study aimed to compare cardiovascular efficiency between students of Residential Public School and Non Residential Public School at the under Senior Secondary Level.

Does attending a residential public school with regular sports improve cardiovascular efficiency in senior secondary school boys compared to a non-residential school?

Key Points

To evaluate and compare cardiovascular efficiency between secondary school male students attending a residential public school and those attending a nonresidential public school.
Evaluated 60 male senior secondary students divided equally into Group-I (residential public school, N=30) and Group-II (nonresidential public school, N=30).
Assessed cardiovascular fitness via the Harvard step test using an 18-inch bench at 24 steps per minute for up to three minutes, recording 30-second carotid pulse counts during recovery.
Computed cardiovascular efficiency scores and analyzed between-group differences using an independent t-ratio with a critical value of 2.00 at an alpha level of 0.05.
Residential school students achieved a higher mean cardiovascular efficiency score of 111.13 compared to 97.47 for nonresidential school students.
The observed mean difference of 13.66 (standard error of the difference = 3.96) was statistically significant, yielding a t-ratio of 3.45 (df=58, p < 0.05).

Does attending a residential public school with regular sports improve cardiovascular efficiency in senior secondary school boys compared to a non-residential school?

P

Population

60 healthy male students at the under senior secondary level from a residential and a non-residential school evaluated for cardiovascular efficiency.

E

Exposure

Residential Public School environment (involving regular morning and evening sports)

C

Comparator

Non-Residential Public School environment

O

Outcome

Cardiovascular efficiency score measured by the Harvard step testsurrogate

Main Result

Mean Difference: 13.66

Absolute Event Rate: 111.13% vs 97.47%

p-value: p=<0.05

Boys attending a residential school with regular sports activities demonstrated significantly better cardiovascular efficiency than those at a non-residential school.

Limitations

Small sample size containing only thirty members in each group

Implication

Hypothesis-generating in small cross-sectional sample; prospective studies needed before considering school environment changes.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare the cardiovascular efficiencybetween the students of Residential Public School and the students of Non ResidentialPublic School at under Sen. Secondary Level. Thirty boys student of ResidentialPublic School and thirty boys student of non Residential Public School.The hypothesis that the students of Residential Public School may have bettercardiovascular efficiency than the students of Non Residential Public School at theunder Sen. Secondary Level was confirmed by the findings of the study.

Mr. Ajay Solanki (2017) conducted a cross-sectional in Healthy students (n=60). Residential school attendance vs. Non-residential school attendance was evaluated on Cardiovascular efficiency score (Harvard step test) (MD 13.66, p=<0.05). Boys attending a residential public school demonstrated significantly better cardiovascular efficiency compared to those at a non-residential school (mean score 111.13 vs 97.47, p<0.05).
