Analysis of intensity during a session of Jump Training. ABSTRACT Introduction: Jump classes include exercises on an individual mini trampoline, comprehend sequences of rhythmic and choreographed movements and are prescribed to improve the aerobic capacity. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the intensity of a Jump session performed with the musical cadence of 135 beats per minute (bpm) and using a choreography for lower body is in line with the recommendations of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) to improve the aerobic condition. Materials and Methods: Eleven healthy female participants composed the sample (23.2±2.2 years-old, 61.7±8.3 kg, 165.3±6.1 cm). The volunteers were subjected to a maximum test using the Bruce protocol on a treadmill and, subsequently, a second test on a mini trampoline to check the consumption of oxygen (VO 2 ) and heart rate (FC) during the performance of a pre-established choreography at a cadence of 135 bpm for 10 min. Results: Statistical analysis found an average FC of 81% and VO 2 of 64%. Discussion: It was concluded that a Jump session at musical cadence of 135 bpm and using a choreography for lower body is in line with the recommendations of ACSM regarding the intensity.

INTRODUCTION The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends that, to have a proper health, individuals must have ideal levels of cardiorespiratory capacity, strength and fl exibility, associated with an adequate body composition 1,2,3,4. There is a consensus in the literature reporting and confirming the benefits of physical aptitude for health 4,5,6,7,8,9. This can be maintained or promoted by avoiding high risk factors, thus consequently reducing the risk of premature disease and precocious death 8, as the main component of high risk is the low physical aptitude 1. To achieve effi cient results for the improvement of cardiorespiratory aptitude, the training must be planned taking into consideration the duration, frequency and intensity of exercises 10. The ACSM recommends that to develop and maintain cardiorespiratory aptitude, it should have a frequency of training from three to fi ve times a week, a duration of 20 min to 60 min of continuous or intermittent work in an intensity between 50% and 85% of maximum oxygen consumption (VO- 2max ) and between 60% and 90% of maximum (FC max ) heart rate (FC). The methodology commonly used in classes at fi tness centers have served as a fi eld of investigation for many scholars 11,12,13,14,15,16. Among the options of offered aerobic activities it is possible to cite the activities in electrical and mechanical treadmills, ergometric bicycle, aerobics, indoor cycle, step training and jump training 17,18. 287

PERNTONI, DERESZ, LAURIA, LIMA, NOVAES The Jump classes include exercises to on a mini individual elastic bed, consisting of sequences choreographed by movements of jumping and running, with variations and combinations 11. This activity provides increased cardiorespiratory endurance, and may be indicated as a modality of class in gyms, and having as one of its goals to improve the aerobic condition and contribute effectively to the maintenance and improvement of physical aptitude and health 13. Among the parameters used to modify the intensity of aerobic classes, the literature describes the alternation of musical cadences and the increment of movements of upper limbs 11,13,16,19,20. Some studies 13,14 analyzed the relation of the intensity of the mini-trampoline classes using varied musical cadences and choreographies with the use of upper limbs, which would characterize a class for advanced individuals, with the recommendations of the ACSM. Regarding the intensity, the classes used in the studies are in agreement with these recommendations. It is unknown whether the responses with respect to the intensity in a choreography with a lesser degree of diffi culty, consisted only by movements of inferior limbs and a slower musical cadence (135 bpm), would supply such recommendations. In this context, the objective of this study was to verify whether the intensity of a Jump session, performed with the musical cadence of 135 bpm and using a choreography only of inferior limbs, is in line with the recommendations of the ACSM to improvement of cardiorespiratory condition. MATERIALS AND METHODS Subjects The study group was composed by 11 female individuals, practitioners of the Jump Training modality, residents in the city of Juiz de Fora - MG - Brazil, aged between 19 and 26 years-old (the characteristics of the group are described in Table 1). The study met the norms to researches in humans from the National Health Council from Brazil 196/96 Resolution, of 10/10/1996. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee on Research Involving Human Beings from the Castelo Branco University with the protocol number 0048/2008. The inclusion criteria for the selection of the study group were: the practice of the Jump modality for at least three months; the signing of the Term of Free and Informed Consent; and the participation in voluntary way and approval in guided anamnesis questionnaires and PAR-Q. The subjects excluded from the study group were those who were using medications with direct infl uence on the behavior of heart rate and those with ostheomioarticular problems. Procedures The data were collected in two visits made to the Motor Assessment Laboratory from the Federal University of Juiz de Fora - Brazil, as will be described below. In the fi rst visit to the laboratory, the evaluated were submitted to a meeting of clarifi cation about the study and procedures that have been made in data collection; after, they signed the Term of Free and Informed Consent. Then were collected the anthropometric measures weight and height. It was conducted a maximum ergoespirometric test on a treadmill, following the recommendations of the Bruce Protocol, which provides progressive increases in speed and inclination every 3 min 21, to determine the maximum oxygen consumption (VO 2max ) and FC max. During the test it was used the Aerosport Teem 100 gas analyzer, being the individual connected to the device, using a mouthpiece and nose clip. The FC and subjective perception of effort (PSE) through the Borg scale 6-20 22, were verifi ed at the end of each minute of the stages of testing. The test was interrupted by the individual when it reached the maximum fatigue that prevented it, voluntarily, to continue the effort. It was considered the VO 2max when: the oxygen consumption reached a plateau, even with the increased intensity of the effort; the respiratory exchange ratio was around 1.10 and/or the PSE was reported between 19 and 20. It was considered FC max the peak FC achieved during the test. In the second visit it was performed the spirometric evaluation in the mini-trampoline. The Jump test consisted of a choreography previously rehearsed on the mini trampoline, with the use only of the inferior limbs, at a musical cadence of 135 bpm and the duration of 10 min, enough time for the values of FC to stabilize 23. The session of Jump Training was elaborated with the aim of maintaining basic movements of inferior limbs used in classes. The choreography was rehearsed until the study group could assimilate the choreographic movements. During the Jump test, the volunteers followed the sequence of choreography accompanying a person already familiar with it. The FC and PSE were verifi ed at the end of each minute of the test. On both visits the volunteers used a frequencymeter from the Polar S810i brand. The records of oxygen consumption were made every 20 s. There was an interval of Table 1 - Characterization of the study group age (years) body mass (kg) height (cm) BMI (kg m -2 ) average 23.2 61.7 165.3 22.7 standard deviation 2.2 8.3 6.1 3.3 288

JUMP TRAINING at least 24 hours between a test and another for recovery of the evaluated subjects. Statistical treatment For the statistical analysis of data it was performed descriptive statistics with average and standard deviation values using Microsoft Offi ce Excel 2003. RESULTS The average values found in the Bruce Protocol for FC max e VO 2max were 189.0±11.6 bpm and 38.14±6.6 ml kg -1 min -1 respectively. The average FC in Jump, the average VO 2 in Jump and the average PSE in Jump are presented in Table 2. Based on data from Table 2 the average percentages for FC max and VO 2max were found, determining, the intensity of the analyzed choreography. The percentage found was 81.0±5.9% for FC and 64.0±12.3% for VO 2. DISCUSSION With respect to the values obtained in the maximum test in treadmill, the evaluated group presented an average VO 2max of 38.14±6.6 ml kg -1 min -1 and an average FC max of 189.0±11.6 bpm. According to the classifi cation of the ACSM for the level of physical aptitude, the sample of the study provides a good aerobic aptitude. This classifi cation of the level of aerobic aptitude in this study is in accordance with other studies with women physically active 13,14,16. With respect to the results obtained during the Jump choreography, it can be said that the values both for % FC max (81%) as for the % VO 2max (64%) are in accordance with the recommendations of the ACSM for maintenance or improvement of cardiorespiratory aptitude, which would be between 50% and 85% of VO 2max and between 60% and 90% of FC max. These intensities represented a PSE between light and a little intense. The literature has reported the relation of the PSE with the physiological parameters and the values found in the study, were similar 24. The results of this study confi rm what has been found by other similar studies with activities carried out in gyms 13,14,16,25. Furtado et al. 13 identifi ed the behavior of functional variables such as FC and VO 2 in a class of Jump Fit. The average percentage values of FC (87.1%) and VO 2 (81.2%) were in accordance with the recommendations of the ACSM. These values were higher than the presented in this study. This was possibly due to the difference of maximum aerobic capacity and the methodology presented in class. Groosl et al. 14 conducted a survey that aimed to determine the intensity of the class of Power Jump (PJ) by the FC. Besides the incremental test, the sample had the FC monitored in two classes (PJ1 and PJ2) of the modality. Based on the results obtained during the tests and relating them to the FC max it was a percentage value of 82.8±6.0% in PJ1 and 80.0%±5.0 in PJ2. The results of this survey showed to be similar to the ones from this study, even being conducted in different environments (laboratory and a gym). The objective of the study by Vianna et al. 16 was to relate the % of FC max with the % of VO 2max in choreographed exercises of Step Training, using a platform of 18 cm, in a musical cadence of 135 bpm, without the use of upper limbs. The results were 90% of FC max and 55% of VO 2max. Martinovic et al. 25 evaluated the cardiovascular and metabolic responses during continuous movements of choreographed exercise of Step Training in the heights of 15 cm and 20 cm of platform with a musical cadence of 132 bpm. The percentage results of this study were 74% (15 cm of height) and 81% (20 cm of height) of FC max and 65% (15 cm of height) and 75% (20 cm of height) of VO 2max. Despite being performed in similar musical Table 2 - FC, PSE and VO 2 in Jump Training subject FC average (bpm) PSE VO 2average (ml kg -1 min-1 ) 1 151 14 28.44 2 153 13 23.96 3 149 13 19.89 4 159 12 32.39 5 134 13 18.54 6 156 12 21.24 7 140 11 22.19 8 135 8 21.82 9 175 14 23.38 10 157 13 23.75 11 160 14 26.91 average 151.7 12.4 23.86 standard deviation 12.0 2.3 4.00 289

PERNTONI, DERESZ, LAURIA, LIMA, NOVAES cadences, the motor characteristics of Step are different from the Jump ones, but the values were similar to the ones from the present study. The main contribution of this study lies in the fact that a class of Jump Training with a lower level of complexity with regard to musical cadence and a choreography using only the inferior limbs, provides stimulus of intensity compatible with those recommended for maintenance or improvement of cardiorespiratory aptitude. The major methodological limitation was the inability to control other variables that could also interfere with the intensity of an activity in the mini-trampoline, such as: bigger intensity of movements of legs and arms; greater energy to push the canvas of the mini-trampoline, and amplitude of movement of the inferior limbs in the choreographic sequence. However, these variables are diffi cultly controlled during a lesson, which makes the study close to reality, despite having been conducted in laboratory environment. Based on the results of the research, it can be concluded that a session of Jump Training without the use of upper limbs, at a musical cadence of 135 bpm and 10 min duration, is in line with the recommendations of the ACSM on the intensity of a cardiorespiratory activity to improve or maintain aerobic conditioning.
