dc.description.abstractObjective: To examine Heart Rate (HR), Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) and Physical fitness (assessed with Fullerton Functional Fitness Test) by giving Cardiac rehabilitation with Nordic Walking and Cardiac rehabilitation with Brisk Walking in patients on medical management after an Acute Coronary Syndrome(ACS). Materials and methods: Randomized Experimental design was used in this study. 40 ACS patients were randomly allocated into two groups Group A and Group B. Cardiac rehabilitation with Nordic Walking was performed to Group A (n=20) and Cardiac rehabilitation with Brisk Walking was performed to Group B (n=20) for 12 weeks to assess the improvement in HR, RPE and Physical fitness. Physical fitness was assessed using Fullerton Functional Fitness Test carried out before and after the total session of 12 weeks intervention. Results: Statistical analysis revealed that in within group comparison, Group A showed significant improvement (p<0.05) in HR, RPE and Physical fitness whereas Group B showed significant improvement (p<0.05) in HR, RPE and 4 components of Fullerton Functional Fitness Test. Comparison between two groups showed that Cardiac rehabilitation with Nordic Walking indicated M. Srija, BNS Gayathri.

Conclusion: It was concluded that Cardiac rehabilitation with Nordic Walking is more effective than Cardiac rehabilitation with Brisk Walking in improving HR, RPE and Physical fitness in ACS patients on medical management.en_US
