【 摘 要 】

This investigation was designed to determine if there weresig diffs in the physiological responses (VO,, VE, METS,RER, Kcals, HR, and RPE) with hands (WH) or without hands(WOH) during exercise on the StairMaster Gauntlet (SM). Twodiscontinuous protocols utilizing 6, 8, 11, 14, and 17 METSwere performed on 20 healthy college females. The ANOVAindicated there were sig (p c .05) diffs between all stagesand methods WOH condition which resulted in higher values.Since the ANOVA indicated a sig (p c .05) interaction, theBonferroni method indicated that all values representingV02, VE, METS, Kcals, and HR were sig (p c . 01) higher WOH.The RER at 11 and 14 METS were sig (p C .Ol) lower WH. TheRPE at 8, 11, and 14 METS were also sig (p c .01) lower WH.As the intensity increased, the differences in methods alsoincreased for all physiological variables except HR. WHwas found to overestimate the values at the higherintensities. It was concluded that the use of handrailsduring SM exercise decreases the metabolic requirements ofexercise.
