Effect of Treadmill Exercise on Intraocular Pressure in Normal Subjects

Purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of treadmill exercise on intraocular pressure in normal subjects, Fifteen normal subjects were enrolled in this study (10 women and 5 men) with age ranges between 30-40 years. They performed a supervised treadmill exercise program (3 sessions/ week, 40 minutes/session for 3-months) where intraocular pressure was measured before exercise and 30 minutes after exercise, at baseline and after 3-months of training.Results; showed that there was a significant decrease of the intraocular pressure which scoped in the maintenance of the good nourishment for the eye tissues.Conclusion; It was concluded that regular treadmill exercise was of great benefit in the preservation of normal intraocular pressure in response to age-related changes of ocular health.
