Spinning® is a popular group exercise taught in health and fitness facilities worldwide. Throughout a Spinning® workout session, intensity is variable and is controlled by body position on the Spinner® stationary cycle and perceived resistance. This study examined the effects of 3 body positions and 4 levels of perceived exertion (RPE) on cardiorespiratory response and vastus lateralis normalized electromyographical activity (NrmsEMGVL). Eleven participants (24.4±6.3 years) with 3.2±2.2 years of Spinning® experience completed twelve, three-minute randomly assigned Spinning® conditions across four separate testing days following an 8-hour fast. Conditions were determined by body position (seated, running, and standing climb) and RPE (low, low-medium, medium-high, high).Cardiorespiratory data and NrmsEMGVL were recorded continuously during each Spinning® condition. Respiratory rate and oxygen consumption were significantly higher for running and standing climb than seated, and minute ventilation was significantly higher for running than seated. All cardiorespiratory values were higher at medium-high and high RPE, than low or medium-low RPE, and high RPE generated higher respiratory rate and RER than medium-high RPE. Significant body position x RPE interactions were observed for heart rate and NrmsEMGVL with running and standing climb producing higher heart rates than seated at low and high RPE, and running producing higher NrmsEMGVL than seated at low RPE. Results indicate that running and standing climb provide the greatest cardiorespiratory responses, and maximal efforts are not needed for these responses. Additionally, heart rate appears to be a poor marker of oxygen consumption, especially at high RPEs.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 48. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 July 2015.
All research outputs
#1,101,011
of 34,360,257 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research
#701
of 7,363 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#11,141
of 297,170 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research
#23
of 109 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,360,257 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 96th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 7,363 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 21.3. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 297,170 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 96% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 109 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its contemporaries.
