Twenty-one subjects, men (n = 12) women 9), completed 3 sessions (separated by 48 hours) following sequence: first session, intensity assessment...
Evaluation of the effects an individualized home-based unsupervised aerobic training on body composition, physical and physiological parameters in female male obese adults. Two hundred twenty adults (age 47.9 ± 12.4 years; BMI 38.0 7.2 kg/m2) entered 4-month program. Body functional capacities were assessed pre- post-intervention. All subjects requested to perform with intensity based heart rate, walking speed OMNI-RPE score corresponding individual ventilatory threshold for at least 5...
Speculation exists whether dance provides physiological stimuli adequate to promote health and fitness benefits. Unfortunately, research date has not addressed the affective exertional responses dance. These are of interest as positive experienced during physical activity may play an important role in predicting adherence. The present study aims examine psychophysiological different Salsa styles. Ten pairs dancers performed two structured lessons dance, including Typical Rueda de Casino...
Abstract The aim of this study was to compare the values oxygen uptake (VO2) during and after strength training exercises (STe) ergometer (Ee), matched for intensity exercise time. Eight men (24 ± 2.33 years) performed upper lower body cycling Ee at individual’s ventilatory threshold (VE/VCO2). STe session included half squats bench press which were with a load individual blood lactate concentration 4 mmol/l. Both sessions lasted 30 minutes, alternating 50 seconds effort 10 second transition...
