Energy expenditure in Zumba
Řehořková, Michaela ; Baláš, Jiří (advisor) ; Bunc, Václav (referee)
The main objective of this study was to assess the energy demand of Zumba. The energy demand was determined by the indirect calorimetry. Four middle-ages women experienced in zumba participated in the study. A walking test untill the individual maximal exhaustion was performed on a treadmill to determine the relationship between heart rate, pulmonary ventilation and oxygen consumption. The energy expenditure of zumba was undertaken during 3 lessons, which took place at intervals of 3-5 days. We found an average oxygen consumption of 25,73 ± 0,95 ml.min-1 .kg-1 , which corresponded to the energy expenditure of 0,55 ± 0,03 kJ.min-1 .kg-1 . Therefore, we consider Zumba as the activity with high energy demand.
