Abstract: Introduction: A cycle ergometer is a stationary machine that enables cyclic rotations and can be used to carry out passive, active, and resistance exercises. Cycle ergometry promotes early healing and increases the individual's functional ability; lung capacity, blood pressure, and cardio-pulmonary endurance while they are sedentary. The experimental study aimed to investigate the comparative effects of arm cycle ergometers and leg cycle ergometers on vital capacity, blood pressure, and resting heart rate in adolescent sedentary subjects. Methods: Participants were twenty-eight male adolescents who do not have regular physical activity and were divided into 2 groups; leg cycling (n=14) and arm cycling (n=14). On the first occasion and post-trial, participants were evaluated for their vital capacity, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and resting heart rate. Both intervention conditions were performed for 60 minutes (10 mins for warm-up, 40 mins for exercise, and 10 mins for cooldown), three times per week for 8 weeks. Descriptive statistics were frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. The inferential statistic was an independent t-test used to compare vital capacity, heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure after 8 weeks (posttest) in the arm cycling group and the leg cycling group at a 95% confidence interval. Results: The resting heart rate and the diastolic blood pressure of the arm cycling group were significantly different from the leg cycling group (p-value=0.002 and p-value=0.010, respectively). Conversely, the vital capacity and the systolic blood pressure of the arm cycling group were not significantly different from the leg cycling group (p-value=0.290 and p-value=0.480, respectively). Conclusions: According to the present study, confirmed that this program has beneficial effects for improved cardiorespiratory fitness and decreased diastolic blood pressure in adolescent sedentary subject
