A simple method of assessment of energy expenditure of low-impact aerobic exercises
Journal Title: Antropomotoryka. Journal of Kinesiology and Exercise Sciences - Year 2010, Vol 20, Issue 49
Abstract
[b]Aim of the work.[/b] Estimating the character, intensity and energy expenditure in young women during one hour of aerobic low-impact training.[b]Material and methods. [/b]The exercise ability of ten women was measured as well as threshold physiological parameters, which determine adaptation of the organism to the physical strain. The exercise test on the laboratory track was performed until subject’s refusal. During the test maximal heart rate (HR) and maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max) were measured. In the second stage of the study, during one hour of aerobics exercises, the dynamic changes of HR were observed using the sport-testers produced by Polar Electro Corporation. To estimate energy expenditure indirect calorimetric method was used. To use this method, one minute absorption of oxygen has to be measured, than by knowing caloric equivalent (which is 5 kcal for one liter of oxygen) it is possible to measure the energy output in women during aerobic.[b]Results and conclusions. [/b]According to energy expenditure during one hour of aerobics low-impact (308 kcal) it may be classified as light work.
