| Abstract: | Abstract: BACKGROUND: Sedentary geriatric population includes older adults whom do spend most of their awake time in sedentary activities and they do also depend on others for activities of daily living. This leads to cardiovascular disorders, metabolic disorders, musculoskeletal disorders and most commonly loss of proprioception, muscle power and balance which leads to falls in elderly. According to the World health organization older adults aged 60 should do at least 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity in a week to lead a healthy and disease free life. The main purpose of the study is to find the effectiveness of short term aerobic exercise on cardiorespiratory health and falls among geriatric sedentary individuals. AIM & OBJECTIVE: To find out the effect of short term aerobic exercise programme on cardiorespiratory health and falls among male sedentary geriatric population. METHODOLOGY: 20 male older adults of age group 60- 70 years, who fulfilled the inclusion Criteria were selected. Out of 25 subjects of geriatric population who have no medical or clinical disorders and who is able to cooperate was included. The intervention is home based programme with routine follow up and increment protocols as per the individual. RESULT: The pretest and posttest mean values of cardiorespiratory health (SIX MINUTE WALK TEST) was analyzed using the paired‘t’ test. For 19 degrees of freedom and 5% level of significance, the table’t’ value is 1.729 and calculated‘t’ value is 13.66. Since the calculated ‘t’ value was greater than table’t’ value null hypothesis is rejected. The pre-test and post-test mean values of falls (BOOMER SCALE) was analyzed using the paired‘t’ test. For 19 degrees of freedom and 5% level of significance, the table’t’ value is 1.729 and calculated‘t’ value is 80.60. Since the calculated‘t’ value was greater than table‘t’ value, null hypothesis is rejected. CONCLUSION: This study can be concluded that application of short term aerobic exercise programme shows significant improvement in cardiorespiratory health and falls in male geriatric sedentary individuals.
