Thesis Abstract

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases continue to be a leading cause of mortality worldwide, with sedentary lifestyle being a significant risk factor. This study aimed to investigate the effects of exercise intensity on cardiovascular health in sedentary individuals. The research design involved a randomized controlled trial with sedentary participants assigned to different exercise intensity groups. Various parameters related to cardiovascular health, such as blood pressure, heart rate, lipid profile, and aerobic fitness, were measured before and after the intervention. The study found that higher exercise intensity led to greater improvements in cardiovascular health markers compared to lower intensity exercise. Additionally, the results indicated that exercise intensity played a crucial role in enhancing aerobic fitness and reducing blood pressure levels among sedentary individuals. However, there were limitations in terms of sample size and duration of the intervention. The findings of this study contribute to the understanding of the importance of exercise intensity in promoting cardiovascular health among sedentary individuals. Future research should explore long-term effects and adherence to exercise programs in this population. Overall, this study emphasizes the significance of incorporating appropriate exercise intensity levels to improve cardiovascular health outcomes in sedentary individuals.

Thesis Overview

The research project titled "The effects of exercise intensity on cardiovascular health in sedentary individuals" aims to investigate the impact of varying exercise intensities on the cardiovascular health of individuals with a sedentary lifestyle. Sedentary behavior, characterized by prolonged periods of sitting or physical inactivity, has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, heart disease, and stroke. Regular physical activity is known to have a positive effect on cardiovascular health, but the specific effects of different exercise intensities on sedentary individuals remain to be fully understood. The research will involve a comprehensive review of existing literature on the relationship between exercise intensity and cardiovascular health, focusing on studies that specifically target sedentary individuals. This review will provide a foundation for understanding the current state of knowledge in this field and identify any gaps or inconsistencies in the literature. Following the literature review, the research will design and conduct a controlled study involving sedentary individuals of varying age groups and fitness levels. Participants will be assigned to different exercise intensity groups and undergo a structured exercise program under the supervision of trained professionals. Key cardiovascular health parameters such as blood pressure, heart rate, cholesterol levels, and aerobic capacity will be measured before and after the exercise intervention to assess the impact of exercise intensity on these outcomes. The data collected from the study will be analyzed using statistical methods to identify any significant differences in cardiovascular health outcomes between the different exercise intensity groups. The findings of the research will contribute valuable insights into the optimal exercise intensity levels for improving cardiovascular health in sedentary individuals and may have important implications for public health interventions aimed at reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases in this population. Overall, this research project seeks to advance our understanding of the effects of exercise intensity on cardiovascular health in sedentary individuals and provide evidence-based recommendations for promoting physical activity as a means of improving cardiovascular outcomes in this at-risk group.
