Evaluation of recovery of oxygen saturation and rate of perceived exertion in different body positions after submaximal exercise test in normal healthy individual
Abstract
Background: Oxygen saturation is the fraction of oxygen saturated hemoglobin relative to total hemoglobin in blood. Normal oxygen saturation level in humans are 95-100 percent. Breathlessness is an unpleasant sensation of rapid or difficult breathing. The reason behind the subject experiencing breathlessness is that the body demands more oxygen than it supplies. Thus this study is conducted to Evaluate Recovery of Oxygen saturation and Rate of perceived exertion in different body positions after submaximal exercise testing in normal healthy individuals. Methodology: It was Pre and Post Study Design with 6 months duration including 40 healthy students recruited by purposive sampling method. The outcome measure was Recovery of Oxygen saturation and rate of perceived exertion. Result – Using the Paired t test, this shows that fastest recovery of oxygen saturation occurs in prone position that is within 1 min (99±0.96) than supine within 3 min (99±0) than upright sitting within 3 min (99±0) and fastest recovery of rate of perceived exertion occurs in prone position that is within 1 min (0.825±0.99) than supine within 3 min (0±0) than upright sitting within 3 min (0±0). Conclusion - From the present study we evaluate the Recovery of oxygen saturation and RPE in supine, prone, upright sitting position and we found that the fastest recovery of oxygen saturation and Rate of perceived exertion occurs in prone position than supine and upright sitting position after submaximal exercise testing in normal healthy individual.
This study aimed to observe the effect of cardiovascular response to body positioning after cardiopulmonary exercise testing in post covid individuals. Ninety post covid participants (age group 18-45) were assigned into four groups: standing, sitting, supine, and prone position. All participants were assessed cardiovascular response, VO 2max baseline, post exercise in standing, sitting, supine and prone by using pulse oximeter, digital sphygmomanometer, polar heart rate and Borg scale. In SpO 2 , rate of perceived exertion (RPE), diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate, there was no significant difference between the groups at pre-exercise. However, a significant difference was observed at 1 min post-exercise and at 3 min post-exercise. As for systolic blood pressure, there was no significant difference between the groups at pre-exercise and at 1 min post-exercise, but a significant difference was noted at 3 min post-exercise. The findings of this study suggest that, when comparing standing, sitting, supine, and prone positions, the prone position exhibited faster recovery in terms of oxygen saturation and rate of perceived exertion, while the supine position showed quicker recovery in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Additionally, individuals with long-COVID symptoms were observed to have a lower VO 2max .
