Heart rate and rating of perceived exertion in different water-based exercises in elderly women
Abstract
Aim: compare the heart rate (HR) and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) among different water-based exercises performed by elderly women. Methods: ten apparently healthy elderly women (69.9 ± 3.2 years) participated in one session to familiarization and two sessions of experimental protocols. Each protocol consisted of four water-based aerobic exercises, each one performed for 5 min (cadence of 80 b.min-1) with a 5 min interval. The exercises assessed were stationary running (SR), cross country skiing (CCS), lateral raising (LR), Butt kick (BK), frontal kick (FK), jumping jacks (JJ), backward raising (BR) and knee bounce (KB). Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) and Bonferroni post hoc were used (a = 5%). Results: The HR and RPE showed a significant difference among the different water-based exercises. The KB presented significant higher HR (125 ± 11 bpm) and RPE (16 ± 2) than SR (110 ± 12 bpm and 12 ± 2), CCS (110 ± 15 bpm and 12 ± 1), JJ (111 ± 10 bpm and 12 ± 2), LR (113 ± 9 bpm and 13 ± 2), BR (114 ± 6 bpm and 13 ± 2) e BK (114 ± 10 bpm and 13 ± 2). Moreover, FK presented intermediate values of HR (116 ± 13 bpm) and RPE (13 ± 3). Conclusion: different exercises performed by elderly women on a pre-stablished cadence of 80 b.min-1 resulted in different HR and RPE responses.
