Heart Rate Responses during Sport-Specific High-Intensity Circuit Exercise in Child Female Gymnasts

Abstract: This study examined heart rate (HR) responses during a sport-specific high-intensity circuit training session to indirectly assess cardiorespiratory stress in child athletes. Seventeen, female gymnasts, aged 9–11 years performed two 5-min 15 s sets of circuit exercise, interspersed by a 3 min rest interval. Each set included five rounds of five gymnastic exercises (7 s work, 7 s rest) executed with maximal effort. During the first circuit training set, peak heart rate (HR) was 192 ± 7 bpm and average HR was 83… Show more

“…Due to the less competitive character of "Gymnastics for All" (group contest or festival), athletes typically train 3-4 times per week for 1.5-2 h per session. Gymnastics coaches often use combinations of skills repetitions in a circuit type of training, to improve athletes' neuromuscular fitness [26,27]. However, while this training is commonly used in gymnastics to develop sport-specific fitness, the addition of an age appropriate, supplementary, strength and power training program may offer positive outcomes that surpass the benefits obtained by skills training alone [26,28].…”

“…These transition periods added up to 15 total minutes of the training session, which may be why HR averaged across each segment presented moderate average values. Salagas et al 22 submitted 17 young gymnasts to a high-intensity circuit training program with a three-minute break between circuits. It was observed that the HR decreased ~ 70 bpm in the interval between circuits.…”

“…However, after performing foot gymnastics exercises, there is no further impact on physical performance. [10].Water gymnastics helps improve the aerobic exercise capacity, to superior indices compared to the activity on the ground, being directly influenced by materials used through the size of water surface contact and complexity of movements [1].High-intensity circuit training using sport-specific exercises, increased HR to levels above 80% and 90% HRmax for extended time periods, and thus may be considered as an appropriate stimulus, in terms of intensity, for improving aerobic fitness in child female gymnasts [12].…”
