摘要：Non-communicable diseases are considered as vital causes of mortality and morbidity in India. World Health Organization and Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study have reported that cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the most important reason for fatality and disability. Age-adjusted mortality has increased by 31% in last 25 years. Case control studies have reported that hypertension is most important risk factor for CVD in India. The present study was to conduct to evaluate the effectiveness of figure of eight walking on selected parameters among hypertensive participants attending out patient department in selected urban Primary Health Centre at Puducherry. An experimental pre and posttest control group design was utilized. By using simple random sampling technique 60 subjects were selected. The data were collected by using semi-structured questionnaire (demographic performa), bio-physiological and bio-chemical parameters. The data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics. paired ‘t’ test was computed to compare the pretest and post test level of biophysiological parameters and lipid profiles among hypertensive clients in the Experimental Group and control group. The results showed that the calculated paired ‘t’ test value for total cholesterol (t=2.147, p=0.040) was found to statistically significant at p<0.05 level when compared to the control group. independent ‘t’ test was computed to compare the post test level of biophysiological parameters and lipid profiles among hypertensive clients between Experimental Group and Control Group. The results of the study revealed that the calculated student independent ‘t’ test value for total cholesterol (t=2.659, p=0.010) was found to statistically significant at p<0.05 level.
