Quantification of Spinning bike performance during a standard 50-minute class
Article Abstract:
A study assesses a number of metabolic and cardiovascular variables during a standard 50-min class performed by Spinning instructors of both sexes. Analysis of individual performance illustrates that they are compatible with physical exercise ranging from moderate-to-heavy to very heavy, the latter conditions prevailing. It is concluded that this type of fitness activity has high impact on cardiovascular function and it is not suitable for unfit or sedentary individuals, particularly middle aged or elderly.
