Thesis Abstract

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with physical inactivity being a major risk factor. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different exercise intensities on cardiovascular health in young adults. The study involved a sample of young adults aged between 18 to 30 years, who were divided into three groups based on exercise intensity levels low intensity, moderate intensity, and high intensity. Various cardiovascular parameters including heart rate, blood pressure, lipid profile, and aerobic fitness were measured before and after a 12-week exercise intervention program. The results of the study showed significant improvements in cardiovascular health parameters in all three groups following the exercise intervention. The high-intensity exercise group demonstrated the most pronounced improvements in aerobic fitness and lipid profile, while the moderate-intensity group showed significant reductions in blood pressure. The low-intensity group also exhibited positive changes in cardiovascular health, albeit to a lesser extent compared to the other groups. Overall, the findings suggest that engaging in regular exercise, regardless of intensity level, can have beneficial effects on cardiovascular health in young adults. However, higher intensity exercise may lead to more substantial improvements in certain parameters. These results highlight the importance of incorporating exercise into the daily routine of young adults to promote cardiovascular health and reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases later in life. In conclusion, this study provides valuable insights into the effects of different exercise intensities on cardiovascular health in young adults. The results underscore the importance of regular physical activity in maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system and emphasize the need for tailored exercise programs based on individual fitness levels and goals. Further research is warranted to explore the long-term effects of exercise on cardiovascular health and to develop targeted interventions for different age groups and populations.
