Oxygen uptake, heart rate and blood lactate concentration during a normal training session of an aerobic dance class

Abstract: The aim of this research was to investigate the physiological responses and, in particular, the participation of lactic acid anaerobic metabolism in aerobic dance, which is claimed to be pure aerobic exercise. In contrast to previous studies, that have put subjects in very unfamiliar situations, the parameters were monitored in the familiar context of gymnasium, practice routine and habitual instructor. A group of 30 skilled fairly well-trained women performed their usual routine, a combination of the two styl… Show more

“…However, the lower blood-lactate values observed in aerobics and netball are similar to those found in previous intermittent activities such as rugby union (2.8 mmol•L −1 ) [25,26]. Conversely, slightly higher values of 3.7 mmol•L −1 and 4.8 mmol•L −1 have been recorded during aerobics classes [27,28] using recreationally active females. The variance in blood-lactate concentrations may be due to the timing of the samples.…”

“…low and high impact. A low impact style comprised movements with at least one foot on the floor at all times, whereas a high impact style included running, hopping and jumping with a variety of flight phases (de Angelis et al, 1998). A 12-week program of low-high impact aerobics was divided as follows: (i) 3 weeks including 9 training units, 60 min each, at about 50–60% of HR max , tempo 135–140 bpm, (ii) 3 weeks comprising 9 training units, 60 min each, at 60–70% of HR max , tempo 140–152 bpm, (iii) 3 weeks including 9 training units, 60 min with an intensity of 65−75% of HR max , tempo 145–158 bpm, and (iv) 3 weeks comprising 9 training units, 60 min with an intensity of 65%−80% of HR max , tempo 145–160 bpm.…”

“…The main aerobic routine was a combination of two alternating styles – low and high impact. The low impact style comprises movements with at least one foot on the floor at all times, whereas high impact styles include running, hopping and jumping with a variety of flight phases [ 2 ]. Music of variable rhythm, intensity and tempo was incorporated into both styles.…”

“…Aerobic dance refers to a variety of activities such as high-low impact aerobics and jazz dancing [ 1 ]. This aerobic-oriented physical activity has become one of the most popular forms of non-competitive free-time group exercise, among women in particular, to improve cardiorespiratory fitness and body composition [ 2 , 3 ]. When structured to comply with the recommendations of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) for the quantity and quality of training, aerobic dance training provides significant improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness results in maximal oxygen uptake (VO 2max ) gains [ 1 , 4 – 6 ].…”
