Alteration of Renin Angiotensin System (RAS) induced by Moderate Intensity Exercise among Female Student-Athletes

Abstract

This research study aims to investigate that impact of moderate intensity exercise on renin angiotensin system among females. The participants of the study were included twenty (20) female students aged between 18-22 randomly distributed into two groups’ i.e. Control group (CG) and Experimental group (EG). Each group comprised of ten (10) subjects. An adopted moderate intensity exercise protocol consisted of warming up for 5 minutes followed by 30 minutes of jogging at 70%-75% of maximal heart rate developed by (Ghaediyan, & Marefati, 2012) was implemented on the experimental group for 8 weeks. RAS was measured with 10ml venous blood collected from the subjects and tested through the Plasma renin direct test from the lab. The pre and posttest results were evaluated through statistical package for the Social Sciences (SPSS, version-26), and then suitable statistical tools were applied according to parametric data. On the basis of detailed data analysis and findings, the researcher concluded that moderate intensity exercise of eight weeks has a positive influence in the plasma renin level of females which promote a healthy physiological balance.
