Sudden cardiac arrest is one of the life
threatening conditions, and if not treated immediately and effectively death
will occur within minutes. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is the most
effective way to save lives of cardiac arrest patients. Studies showed a
correlation between physical fitness and quality of CPR. The aim of this study
was to compare the CPR skills of female and male physically active (PA) and
physically inactive (PIA) undergraduate students. Of the 120 undergraduate
students, 37.5% was physically active and 62.5% was physically inactive. The
participants’ mean age 21.40±2.02
years. In order to identify physically active and physically inactive students,
they were asked about their physical activity participation. Data on students’ CPR performance were collected via
Laerdal Resusci Anne SkillReporter^TM manikin. During the data
collection (after training), each student was instructed to perform 10 sets of
CPR in an isolated laboratory environment. Training included standard CPR
content for the all participants. The
results of this study showed that a physically active participants performed
better CPR ventilation and compression skills than physically inactive
participants did. Physically active female and male participants achieved the
higher mean percentage of correct ventilation and chest compression. In
conclusion, the findings suggest that the physical activity positively
correlated with CPR quality.
