Abstract
The purpose of the study was to compare blood
pressure and pulse rate among school students. To achieve the purpose of the
study Ninty male athletes were selected from Government Girls Higher Secondary
School, St. Thomas Higher Secondary School and Kanchi Sri Sankara Academy
Matriculation Higher Secondary School, Tiruchendur, Thoothukudi District, Tamil
Nadu. The age of the subjects was ranged from 15 to 18 years respectively. The
physiological variables such as systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse
rate were selected as dependent variables for this study. The blood pressure
was tested by using Omron Blood Pressure Monitor and pulse rate was assigned by
using radial pulse method. The data collected from the subjects were treated
with Analysis of Variance. Scheffe’s Post hoc test was used to find out the
paired mean difference among the groups. It was concluded that, there was a
significant difference among three groups on blood pressure and pulse rate. It
also indicated that, government aided school students were better in blood
pressure, government school students were better in radial pulse method.
