Abstract
We compared the heart rate to several variants during 14 minutes head-out aquatic exercise (with simultaneous legs and arms actions and with simultaneous legs and arms actions using buoyancy dumb-bells). 8 females, clinically healthy and with a regular level of physical activity in age between 25-60 years (age 42 +- 11,4 years) were studied. We monitored heart rate changes during 14 minutes head-out aquatic exercise by Sport Tester S610i.
The results of the tests were analyzed and evaluated with Polar Precision Performance software. Chi squared test was used to examine the average difference to heart rate during tests.
We found non-significant increases on load intensity during test with using buoyancy dumb-bells.
