The risk of cardiovascular disease differs among various ethnic groups, highlighting disparities in health different populations. While multiple studies from other countries have looked at changes physiological parameters during autonomic function tests like isometric handgrip and cold pressor tests, no correlational research has been done Saudi Arabia. This lacuna underscores the importance examining relationship between cardiorespiratory young Arabian individuals these tests. study aimed to determine correlation healthy college students. A single-arm interventional was conducted with a cohort 65 adult students, including male female participants. point estimate calculated 95% confidence level. Physiological were analyzed compared rest involved participants an average age 21.12 ± 1.02, predominantly significant impact observed only respiratory rate (P = 0.007) In contrast, blood pressure arterial oxygen saturation values showed statistical significance both sheds light on their responses stressors contributes our understanding across diverse populations, guiding future interventions for global improvements outcomes.
