[[alternative]]Physiological Responses of New Style Gymnastics on Senior High School Female Students

[[abstract]]The purpose of this study was to examine the physiological responses of new style gymnastics (NSG) on senior high school female students. Method: Nine senior high school female students (age=16.40±0.6 years, height=157.59±5.15 cm, weight=50.51±5.07 kg) were recruited as the subjects for this study. Responses of oxygen intake (VO2) and heart rate (HR) were measured during the 10 minutes before exercise, each NSG and 15 minutes after exercise. Rate of perceived exertion (RPE) was collected immediately following each NSG. Data was analyzed by pair t-teat, repeated measured one-way ANOVA,and the statistical significance was set at α＝ .05 level. Results: 1) During three trails of NSG, average of HR(145±14.65,156±14.97,167±10.5 time/min)were significantly increased. 2) RPE responses of the third NSG (15.6±1.88 ) was higher than first NSG(11.9±7.04)(p< .05),but the second NSG(13.6±1.67) was no difference between first NSG and third NSG (p> .05).3) VO2 responses of the third NSG (23.73±2.90 ml/time/min) was higher than first NSG(20.45±3.61 ml/time/min)(p< .05),but the second NSG(23.01±3.06 time/min) was no difference between first NSG and third NSG (p> .05). 3) During three trails of NSG, energy expenditure increased significantly and a total of energy expenditure 92.65±20.64Kcal was found. Conclusions: Three trails of NSG could improve cardiorespiratory endurance, but total energy expenditure is not enough to use as a main measure of weight control.
