Heart Rate Variability At Rest And During Steady State Exercise In Marathon Training Students

Abstract

Female dancers had generally higher estimated VO2max when compared to ACSM classifications for healthy adults. We only had 30 males across our cohorts, warranting inclusion of more males to develop robust norms in male collegiate dancers. Our collegiate dancers participated primarily in modern/contemporary dance. Still, other styles of dance exist and more work is needed across genres and levels. Prior findings in collegiate dancers found aerobic fitness did not significantly change over the collegiate-academic career, the normative values we found in the current study can be used as baseline aerobic fitness norms in healthy collegiate dancers.
