ANALYSIS OF THE CARDIOPULMONARY ENDURANCE RESPONSE OF WOMEN TO AEROBIC EXERCISE

ANÁLISE DA RESPOSTA DE RESISTÊNCIA CARDIOPULMONAR DE MULHERES AO EXERCÍCIO AERÓBICO

ANÁLISIS DE LA RESPUESTA DE RESISTENCIA CARDIOPULMONAR DE LAS MUJERES AL EJERCICIO AERÓBICO

ABSTRACT

Introduction:

The main purpose of aerobic exercise is to enhance cardiopulmonary endurance, so it is necessary to build cardiopulmonary endurance response models based on different frequencies of aerobic exercise.

Objective:

To study the cardiopulmonary endurance response of women to different frequencies of aerobic exercise.

Methods:

Twenty young female desk workers (female teachers and civil servants) who worked out at a fitness club were randomly divided into two groups. Cardiopulmonary function, both before and after 16 weeks of aerobic exercise at different exercise loads, was studied and analyzed.

Results:

After 16 weeks of aerobic exercise at different exercise loads, all the young women had significantly improved their vital capacity (VC), and their maximum oxygen uptake ability was improved to a certain extent. Compared with the 45-minute aerobic exercise group, the vital capacity (VC)of 90-minute aerobic exercise group was significantly increased (P>0.05).

Conclusions:

When performed at a consistent frequency level, aerobic exercise with a relatively high exercise load can better develop the body’s respiratory system function. This may be due to deep stimulation of the respiratory system from high-load aerobic exercise, and ultimately to the intensive exercising of lung function. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment results.
