“…• O 2 is variable and depends on exercise intensity (Sheldahl et al, 1984(Sheldahl et al, , 1987Connelly et al, 1990;Cureton, 1997), exercise mode (Cureton, 1997), water depth (Gleim and Nicholas, 1989;Cureton, 1997) and water temperature (Craig and Dvorak, 1969;McArdle et al, 1976;Gleim and Nicholas, 1989;Cureton, 1997;Hall et al, 1998;Shimizu et al, 1998). In the present study, the relationship between HR and V • O 2 during waterwalking, with a water temperature of 30°C and water depth at the level of the xiphoid process, was similar to that during land-walking.…”
