| Popis: | Introduction: Exercise helps to combat many health conditions and diseases. Walking is a simple way of exercise to increase aerobic capacity. To provide even greater health benefits we studied backward walking on flat surface. Aims and Objectives: To compare the difference in heart rate when walking forward and walking backward for 6 minutes on a flat surface. Methods: Healthy subjects above 18 years with no comorbidities were recruited for the study. Pre test and post test vitals and distance walked was measured in both 6 Minute Walk Test (6MWT) and Reverse 6MWT. Results: The mean distance walked in 6MWT and Reverse 6MWT was 505.3 meters and 381.7 meters respectively (p=0.00 Statistically significant). The mean Heart Rate (HR) after 6 MWT and Reverse 6MWT was 115.52 and 127.70 respectively (p=0.00 Statistically significant). Conclusion: Reverse walking improves aerobic capacity more than forward walking. |
