Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of combination aerobic dance and Peripheral heart action training (PHAT) on aerobic capacity (VO2max), body mass index (BMI), and heart rate of physically-active students. Observational study with one group pre-post test design. Eleven healthy active college sudent participants were assesed by several tests. They are multistage fitness test (Bleep test) for aerobic capacity, body weight and height for calculating body mass index, and heart rate palpation prior to and following six week exercise intervention. Both aerobic dance and PHAT consisted of functional movement as running or marching in place, turning, jumping, isometric and isokinetic muscle contraction, and other movement that could activate most system in the body. The exercise lasts approximately 50 to 60 minutes a day, three times a week (aerobic dance once a week, and PHAT twice a week), for total 6 weeks. This study shows there was 2.32% improvement in VO2max and
1.35% decrease in body composition Meanwhile, the heart rate increased by fasting condition (normal heart rate: 10.14%, warm-up actrivities 8.68%, training: 15.23%, 10 minute recovery 9.00%). These findings suggest that combination of both aerobic dance and PHAT facilitate improvement of aerobic capacity, and better body composition. In contrast, heart rate is significantly increased by fasting in post-test assessment where the student participants were assumed experiencing bad hydration.
