Lognormal Distribution of Some Physiological Responses in Young Healthy Indian Males

Abstract

Evaluation of statistical distribution of physiological responses is of fundamental importance for better statistical interpretation of physiological phenomenon. In this paper, statistical distribution of three important physiological responses viz., maximal aerobic power (VO2 max), maximal heart rate (HR max) and maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV) in young healthy Indian males of age ranging from 19 to 22 years have been worked out. It is concluded that these three important physiological responses follow the lognormal distribution.
