Respuesta de la frecuencia cardíaca, lactato en sangre y percepción subjetiva del esfuerzo en un grupo de mujeres durante sesiones de Spinning® modalidad intervalos

Abstract

Cardio-respiratory endurance exercises have undergone significant growth in sports centers in recent times due to the interest of people in improving their physical condition. Among these activities one can find Spinning®. Some studies have pointed out that during Spinning® sessions high exercise intensities are reached which might imply a risk for the participants. This study aims to measure the exercise intensity in intervals-mode Spinning® sessions in a group of 12 women. Heart rate, blood lactate and perceived exertion were measured and all variables indicated that the exercise was performed at high intensity and steadily over time; even individual values aboye the maximum theoretical requirements were obtained. It is vital to recommend the use of heart monitors to control exercise and it is advisable to implement individualized classes considering risk factors and age of the participants.
