Oxygen Uptake, Muscle Activity and Ground Reaction Force during Water Aerobic Exercises

Abstract This study aimed to compare the oxygen uptake ( V O 2 ), the muscle activity of lower limbs, and the vertical ground reaction force (V-GRF) of women performing water aerobic exercises at different intensities. 12 young women performed the experimental protocol, which consisted of 3 water ex...

Description
Summary:Abstract This study aimed to compare the oxygen uptake ( V O 2 ), the muscle activity of lower limbs, and the vertical ground reaction force (V-GRF) of women performing water aerobic exercises at different intensities. 12 young women performed the experimental protocol, which consisted of 3 water exercises (stationary running [SR], frontal kick [FK] and cross country skiing [CCS]) at 3 intensities (first and second ventilatory thresholds and maximum effort). A two-way repeated measures ANOVA was used. Regarding V O 2 , different responses between intensities (p
