Abstract

Objective: To compare IOP changes after isometric exercise of hand and leg muscles Method: Healthy young male adults in the age group of 18-22 years were selected among MBBS students of JSS Medical college .Sample size was 40. Heart rate and IOP were recorded at rest and after isometric leg press test. Results: Right eye IOP has decreased significantly from resting 16.281.55 to 13.341.32 (p 0.001) immediately after handgrip exercise Right eye IOP has decreased significantly from resting 16.281.55 to 9.301.79( p 0.001)immediately after leg press exercise. Left eye IOP has decreased significantly from resting 16.151.69 to 13.041.19 (p 0.001) immediately after handgrip exercise Left eye IOP has decreased significantly from resting to 16.151.69 to 8.911.74 ( p 0.001)immediately after legpress exercise. Conclusion: Isometric leg press exercise lowers IOP which were significant. Reduction of IOP was more with leg press than Hand grip exercise.Hence may prove useful in normotensive glaucomatous patients.
