Heart Rate Responses During Kisarazu Kosen Taiso

Abstract

The present study was designed to investigate the heart rate responses during Kisarazu Kosen Taiso consisted of 13 units of different movement. Three trained students (18-20yrs) performed Kisarazu Kosen Taiso in each movement of one minute duration in two different ways, i.e. a "normal" exercise in their preferred manner and a "strenuously" one as powerful as possible. Heart rate were recorded continuously all through the experiment by using telemetering method, and digital print were recorded. The results oftained were as followed; The mean heart rate of each subject during the "normal" one ranged from 109 to 139 bpm, while during the "strenuously" one from 109 to 145 bpm, (mean % increment of three subjects; 4%) and during practice all through were 96-154 in "normal", 104-166 in "strenuously." During the upper extremities movements (order 7 and 8) the heart rate in all duration was considerably lower when compared with that recorded during the other kinds of exercises.
