Efecto de un Plan de Entrenamiento Físico en el Consumo Máximo de Oxigeno (VO2max) y el Consumo Miocárdico de Oxigeno (MVO2) en Pacientes Hipertensos Adultos Mayores Adscritos a la IPS CAJASAN (Bucaramanga).

Abstract

This research aimed to determine the effect of an exercise plan on the maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max) and myocardial oxygen consumption (MVO2) in elderly hypertensive patients CAJASAN IPS (Bucaramanga). It was a study of quasi-experimental, 40 patients aged 60-75 years, of both genders, divided into two groups equally, 20 intervention group and 20 control lasting 12 weeks, all belonged to the program of cardiovascular risk (CVR) of CAJASAN, the sample was not random, control group made 1 hour daily walk , the intervention made 1 hour a day, five days a week of aerobic work capacity (50 to 75% of VO2max), strength, medical and laboratory assays were performed to determine the state of health, exercise test (modified Bruce) was made to determine the VO2max, and MVO2, both groups, before and after performing the training plan, processing information was performed with Excel database and statistical software SPSS 20, Descriptive statistics, mean, median, standard deviation, the control group decreased VO2max were applied at 3.6% and intervention significantly increased 27% P 0.05, the MVO2 in the control group increased 0.25% not significant, and in the intervention group significantly decreased 10%, P 0.05, demonstrating increased cardiac efficiency more skeletal muscle performance, <MVO2, with >VO2 improving physical capacity. It was concluded that a structured exercise plan, designed and evaluated by professionals in physical activity, increases VO2max and decreases or maintains the MVO2, compared to a self-directed spontaneous physical activity.
