【 摘 要 】

Regular physical activity provides many health benefits. However, the principle excusefor a sedentary lifestyle is lack of time. In this regard, more time-effective protocols havebeen used. One such protocol is high-intensity interval training (HIIT). HIIT has beenshown to provide the benefits of moderate-intensity continuous exercise (MICE) withsignificantly less volume and duration. However, one downfall to many HIIT protocols isthe increased impact forces. The FreebounderTM is a low-impact alternative. The goal ofthis study was to examine the intensity of exercise on the FreebounderTM and see if itmeets ACSM’s recommendations for improving cardiorespiratory fitness and bodycomposition. Fourteen healthy, college-aged individuals completed a 12-minute trainingsession on the FreebounderTM. Heart rate (HR), VO2, and Rating of Perceived Exertion(RPE) were recorded. The average %HRmax was 75.0% + 12.74%. The average%VO2max was 48.0 + 4.54%. The average RPE was 12.3 + 1.35. Based on the results, atraining session falls into the moderate to intense category of intensity as described byACSM. In this regard, it appears that exercising on the FreebounderTM will increasecardiorespiratory fitness.
