COMPARATIVE STUDY OF AEROBIC, RESISTANCE, AND CONCURRENT TRAINING EFFECTS ON RESTING HEART RATE IN COLLEGE MEN
Abstract
This comparative study investigates the effects of three distinct training modalities—namely, aerobic, resistance, and concurrent training—on resting heart rate in college-aged men. Resting heart rate, a key physiological indicator, holds significance in assessing cardiovascular health and fitness. The study involves a controlled intervention with participants randomly assigned to one of the three training groups or a control group. Resting heart rate measurements were recorded at baseline and following a specified training period. The results provide valuable insights into the differential impacts of these training regimens on cardiovascular health and inform exercise prescription strategies for young men aiming to optimize heart rate profiles.
