Objective: Wide blood pressure fluctuations among elderly persons can be a cause of cardiovascular events. Physicians working
in suburban hospitals adjacent to highland resorts often see cases hospitalized following some weekend activities, mostly with
cardiovascular events. Authors examined hemodynamic and muscle power parameters of the weekend trekkers, on site, and
reviewed risks of high land trekkers and rescuers who may work on cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
Materials and methods: To know the circulatory and muscular conditions of people visiting a suburban resort by themselves,
a health check-up was organized in a ropeway station. Blood pressure, heart rate, arterial oxygen saturation, and hand and
back muscle powers were measured before and after a physical activity, outdoor trekking. Also, authors’ previous .. View More»
