Study Overview
Brief Summary
To determine the effect of aerobic exercise training on arterial stiffness and hemodynamics in obese adults. Proper evidence on the effect of aerobic exercise training on both arterial stiffness and hemodynamics are sparsely present in obese adults whereas separate studies were done in mainly hypertensive and cardiovascular disease populations.
Detailed Description
Obese adults always have been trying to improve their quality of life by managing the complications associated with obesity like arterial stiffness and disturbed hemodynamics.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Hemodynamics
Time Frame: 6 weeks
Factors that govern blood flow calculated through Rate Pressure Product.
Arterial Stiffness
Time Frame: 6 weeks
Gradual fragmentation and loss of elastin fibers and accumulation of stiffer collagen fibers in the arterial wall. Calculated through Arterial stiffness index.
Secondary Outcomes
No secondary outcomes reported
