Popis:	Sedentary lifestyle and physical inactivity is a world-wide health problem increasing the morbidity and mortality of the population in developing countries. The aim of the study was to assess and evaluate the level of physical activity and cardiovascular responses following aerobic exercise.Method: The study was focussed to a group of post-graduate students and House officers working in the tertiary referral hospital. 165 (female=30; male=135) with mean age (male=31.40±5.73; female=30.2±5.63) were subjected to Bruce Modified Treadmill Test (BMTT) along with Questionnaires (Short term last 7 day Recall Self-administered format. Statistical analysis:All values are given as means±SD. Analysis of statistical significance for variablesmainly heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP) (pre, during and post TMT test), and METs values were done by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Paired't' test and independent't' test for different variables for both sexes were done. Result: Mean and Standard Deviation of the HR (84.95±9.75), SBP (126.95±12.19), and DBP (82.27±8.68) were all raised significantly during Treadmill Test (TMT); HR (163.58±16.48), SBP (152.71±11.76) and DBP (85.69±9.66)and unable to return to normal even after 5 minutes recovery period, whereas the DBP returned to lower than normal after 3 minutes recovery period (81.98±8.26). Significant correlation of BMI with all other variables i.e.HR, SBP, and DBP (pre, during and post TMT) were noted except a negative correlation with TMT-HR (Significance=0.447) was noted. There was significant correlation between Q-METs (8.20±3.46) and TMT-METs (9.64±1.79) and between different genders, it was the opposite.
