Abstract:

Health training based on aerobic exercise continues to occupy a leading position in modern fitness. Among them, aerobics on step-platforms occupies a special place. It is proved po- sitive influence of step aerobics on the cardiovascular system, respiratory system, musculoskeletal system, etc. It is important when doing any kind of aerobics to watch over students. The value of heart rate is one of the most objective indicators of the body’s response to stress. The problems of load management during the step aerobics classes both by the instructor and by the students themselves remain relevant. We detected pulse response of students in the individual steps of step aerobics performed on the steppes of in different heights and with different amplitudes of hand movements. Low heart rate was observed when performing steps on a low degree without hand movements (with the exception of Mambo), the highest rates – on a high degree with hand movements of large amplitude. The greatest increase in heart rate is observed when performing steps Chasse, Cha-cha-cha, Lift side, the smallest – V-step, Mambo, Basic step. However, the performance of all the selected steps on the lower step with the movements of the hands of the average amplitude gave a larger increase of the pulse response than if these steps are performed on a high degree without the hand movements. It is proved that a greater increase in heart rate leads to the addition of hand choreography of different amplitudes than the increase in the height of the step. In this regard, it can be noted that many instructors do not deservedly pay little attention to the choreography of hand movements, adjusting the intensity only with the help of changing the height of the step. Knowledge of the pulse reaction of those engaged in various steps of step aerobics will allow the instructor to plan and adjust the load more accurately in the classroom.

Abstract:

Abstract This study aimed to analyze the acute effects of a single session of a community-based group exercise program combining step aerobics and bodyweight resistance exercise on blood pressure in healthy young adult women. Twentythree healthy young adult women (aged 31.57 ± 7.87 years) participated in two experimental sessions (exercise and control) in a crossover study design. Blood pressure was monitored before, immediately after and at 10, 20 and 30 min of recovery. The exercise session consisted of four phases: 1) a warm-up (5 min of dance aerobics); 2) aerobic exercise training (30 min of step aerobics); 3) resistance exercise training (six sets of 12 repetitions of three bodyweight exercises in a circuit mode, 10 min); and 4) a cool-down (5 min of breathing and flexibility exercises); totaling 50 min of duration. Systolic blood pressure after exercise was significantly lower compared to control at the 10th min (-10.83 ± 2.13 vs. -2.6 ± 2.13 mmHg; p = 0.009), 20th min (-11.26 ± 2.13 vs. -3.04 ± 2.13 mmHg; p = 0.009) and 30th min of recovery (-10.87 ± 2.39 vs. -0.48 ± 2.39 mmHg; p = 0.004). A single session of a community-based group exercise program combining step aerobics and bodyweight resistance exercise was effective in inducing significant post-exercise hypotension in healthy young adult women. This type of low-cost exercise interventions may have an important role in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases and in community health promotion.

Abstract:

Summary Many publications have indicated the positive impact of step aerobics on health. Although step aerobics aims to improve endurance and other health parameters, injuries incurred from overload happen to both instructors and participants. Values of vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) while stepping on and off the bench do not lead to overload on the motor system - they are similar to the values obtained for walking or stair climbing. One reason for injuries may be the step workout technique. Overloads may be caused by incorrect technique of foot positioning on the bench, small knee angle during stepping off, and small angle of trunk flexion. This study presents an overview of current research on the load of the motor system in step aerobics.

Abstract:

In modern conditions of preparation of athletes in various sports, including in football, such unconventional means as fitness, aerobics, step aerobics, Pilates, elements of hatha yoga are used, etc. However, theoretical development of this direction of training process, methods of application of various directions of aerobics (classical, taibo, step-, aqua-, pump-, fitball-aerobics, etc.) in physical and special training of football players is insufficient. We presented the results of pedagogical experiment on inclusion in training process of football players at stage of sports specialization of specially developed programs of dance aerobics, step-aerobics (with platform of changing height), fitball-aerobics and streetcasting. We used tests to assess the readiness of the subjects: running 30 m from a high start, jumping in length from the place, hitting the ball with a foot for a range (the sum of the right and left legs), touching the posts and hitting the goal. The results of the evidence and result tests carried out during the experiment showed a significant increase and reliable differences in the results in the groups of 14-15 years. In our opinion, specially developed programs of modern fitness technologies can be applied at different stages of multi-year preparation, at different periods of year cycle of preparation, with different age groups of football players, at different level of preparation of athletes.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to investigate the electromyographic (EMG) activity of selected lower limb muscles during forward- and backward-facing stair-stepping exercises using a hydraulic step ergometer and during step aerobics using a standard 8 in. high step. Surface electrodes recorded EMG data from the vastus lateralis (VL), vastus medialis obliquus (VMO), and biceps femoris (BF) muscles on the right lower limbs of 13 healthy subjects under each of the four exercise conditions. Normalized mean EMG amplitude data were used to test for activity-dependent differences. Results indicated that (a) the VL and VMO were significantly (p < .05) more active during step ergometry than during step aerobics, (b) the BF was significantly (p < .05) more active during step aerobics than during step ergometry, and (c) when forward- versus backward-facing positions were compared, there were no statistically significant differences in mean EMG activity for either of the activities. These findings provide information relevant to the use and progression of stepping exercises commonly used for knee muscle strengthening and knee injury rehabilitation programs.

Abstract:

SummaryStudy aim: Step aerobics is a form of aerobic power distinguished from other types of aerobic exercise by its use of an elevated platform. The purpose of this study was to examine how the aerobic exercise “knee up” affects kinematic and kinetic parameters and, above all, the length of the muscle contractions. Material and methods: The study analysed ten female fitness instructors with at least six years of experience. The task consisted in the knee up move performed using a 15 cm step and music with the beat frequency of 148 BPM. Kinematic and kinetic parameters were recorded using the Vicon system synchronized with two Kistler force plates. OpenSim software was used for calculation of the length of involved muscles. Results: Ranges in angles and torques suggest that the location that is the most prone to injuries and overtraining is the knee joint, followed by the hip and ankle joints. Greater values of the vertical component of ground reaction forces were observed during stepping down, which suggests greater load to the joints. The greatest work in the move analysed in this study was performed by the sartorius muscle and the tensor fasciae latae muscle. Conclusions: Despite the benefits that have been demonstrated when step classes are structured correctly and adapted to the participants, further research is needed concerning biomechanical load, exercise prescription, and injury prevention.

Abstract:

Most experts recommend as an alternative to traditional approaches to physical education of preschoolers, to use the modern pedagogical technologies, among which preference is given to various fitness directions, in particular, step aerobics, fitball aerobics, aqua aerobics, the use of modern multimedia in the educational process, innovative methods, etc. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the main recommendations of implementation the modern pedagogical technologies in physical education of preschool children for future teachers. In the process of physical education with preschoolers, the teacher must solve educational and health tasks. For the health effects of fitball-aerobics on the body of preschool children, the teacher must to follow the basic principles of physical education, select the optimal characteristics of the equipment (size, color, elasticity of fitballs) taking into account the age of children, rationally dose the load. One of the promising health technologies for the development of motor skills of older preschoolers is step aerobics. Particular attention should be paid to the selection of musical accompaniment, use the game form of step aerobics, imitation exercises, select different forms for classes, etc., taking into account the age of children. In the process of tourism, it is important to interest children in the use of new equipment for them, a certain story (for example, treasure hunt), the use of interactive methods, game forms and more. To solve educational tasks, focus attention of preschoolers to the need for mutual assistance, discipline, courage, and so on. The outlined recommendations should be used in the process of preparing future teachers for the implementation the modern pedagogical technologies in physical education with preschool children.

Abstract:

Background. Stress and health-related quality of life are important constructs used in treatment evaluation today. This study is based on a randomised controlled trial examining the stress-reducing effect of eurythmy therapy in comparison with step aerobics in 106 healthy but stressed subjects. The aim of the analysis was to characterise changes in the subjective perceptions of the participants.Methods. Interviews were conducted with 76 healthy adults, 36 (f=31/m=5) from the eurythmy group and 40 (f=28/m=12) from the step aerobics group both analysed by content analysis and phenomenologically.Results. The following categories were identified for the eurythmy therapy group:enabling a productive therapeutic response, emergence of a new perceptual space, reevaluation of the accustomed perception, and emergence of new options for action. Step aerobics places increased physical and intellectual demands. These are perceived differently aspleasant and relaxing, insufficiently challenging and/or boring, and too challenging and thus experienced as stress-enhancing. Conclusion. The qualitative results provided revealing insights into the profound effects of and subjective assignments of meaning to external and internal stress factors. Processes of mental reinterpretation leading to stress reduction can be stimulated by physical procedures such as eurythmy therapy.

Abstract:

With the development of the times, teaching has not only stayed between people, but also gradually developed into the teaching interaction between man and machine. In the past, the teaching form was relatively single and old. Based on the intelligent visual sensor, this paper develops an auxiliary teaching system for the decomposition of aerobics action and reasonably uses the Internet and algorithms to catalog a series of aerobics action systems into the system. The DTW dynamic motion matching algorithm of the system will recognize human actions more accurately. The system will feed back human actions to the system in real time based on human feature recognition. Then, after comparison, the system will display the standard posture of this action and the aerobics posture in the next step. Therefore, this system develops teaching not only in class, but everywhere. The system not only improves the teaching quality of aerobics, but also strengthens the physical quality of teenagers. It has a new understanding of the standardization of aerobics teaching. After the function of the system is complete, the system will be distributed to aerobics learners. In many feedback information, the average use satisfaction has reached about 80%, which is a good performance index for the performance of the system itself.

Abstract:

Aim. The article deals with establishing the effect of step aerobics and artistic gymnastics on physical performance in first year female university students. Materials and methods. 80 full-time female university students participated in the study. The first group practiced artistic gymnastics (Group 1, n = 40), the second group (Group 2, n = 40) – step aerobics. The mean age was 18.35 ± 0.04 years. In September and December 2017, their physical development, physical fitness, physical performance, respiratory and cardiovascular systems were assessed based on standard procedures using the data of maximum oxygen consumption and the step test. Results. At the beginning of the experiments, there were no statistically significant differences between Group 1 and Group 2. The mean maximum oxygen consumption values corresponded to satisfactory performance (39.85 ± 0.37 – Group 1, 38.92 ± 0.42 – Group 2, р = 0.1). At the end of the experiment, there were statistically significant differences in terms of the mean maximum oxygen consumption: 40.73 ± 0.21 – Group 1 and 41.61 ± 0.21 – Group 2. The results of the ranking showed that the majority of participants demonstrated an increase in physical performance. Group 1 showed an increase in the standing long jump, Group 2 improved 2000 m running time and the standing long jump. Group 2 also demonstrated a decrease in heart rate and an increase in adaptation capacities. Conclusion. The lessons of artistic gymnastics during a semester do not influence significantly physical performance but improve speed-strength characteristics. Step aerobics influences positively physical performance, speed-strength characteristics, and the cardiovascular system in first-year female university students not related to sport.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of two bench-step exercise speeds on vertical impact forces and to explore this variable between novices and instructors. 12 women (mean age 24 yr.) randomly performed 8-min. protocols of the “basic” bench-stepping technique and a more advanced “travel” technique at 30 and 33 cycles · min.−1. Analysis showed that the faster exercise rate yielded significantly higher vertical impact forces on a reference (B-8) step height (20.3 cm). At 33 cycles · min.−1, the instructors' and novices' responses were both higher than those at 30 cycles · min.−1. The mean peak vertical impact force ranged from 1.54 times the body weight for the novice group at 30 cycles · min.−1 to 1.87 times the body weight for instructors at 33 cycles · min.−1. A comparison of the groups' force curves showed a distinctive pattern in the loading of the impact forces. Specifically, the instructors consistently produced a transitory decrement in force prior to attaining peak force. In addition, the novices exhibited nonuniform increases in the production of vertical impact force across other step heights at the faster (33 cycles · min.−1) speed. Thus, experience with bench-step exercise may afford an ability to make uniform and force-absorbing adjustments in the resultant vertical impact forces at increased speeds.

Abstract:

Abstract The aim of this paper is to verify whether step aerobics training (SAT) has an impact on the temperature of deep muscles of the spine of young, healthy subjects and if there exists a relationship between the maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and thermal results. The study was conducted in a group of 21 subjects of both sexes, aged 20.2 ± 0.38. The step aerobics training sessions lasted 30 weeks, one training session per week, 60 minutes per session. Thermograms of the spine were taken with the use of an infrared thermographic camera. Instrumental measurements included BMI, vital capacity of the lungs, and maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max). After a 30-weeklong SAT, a statistically significant increase in the average temperature of the muscles of the thoracic and lumbar spine was observed in subjects of both sexes (1.2◦C and 1.28◦C, respectively, p < 0.05). At the same time, VO2max increased from 42.98 ml/kg/min to 43.6 ml/kg/min in male subjects and from 40.4 ml/kg/min to 41.1 ml/kg/min in female subjects (p > 0.05). The relationship between VO2max and temperature of the muscles of the thoracic and lumbar spine after the 30th SAT was not statistically significant (r = - 0.28; p = 0.226; r = - 0.11; p = 0.634, respectively). The study showed that a 30-weeklong step aerobics training (SAT) had a positive impact on thermoregulation of apparently healthy male and female subjects aged 20. Furthermore, it can be safely assumed that thermography may be used as a non-invasive method of examination of the thermoregulation mechanism of SAT participants.

Abstract:

The aim of this research was to determine the features of a step workout technique which may be related to motor system overloading in step aerobics. Subjects participating in the research were instructors (n=15) and students (n=15) without any prior experience in step aerobics. Kinematic and kinetic data was collected with the use of the BTS SMART system comprised of 6 calibrated video cameras and two Kistler force plates. The subjects’ task was to perform basic steps. The following variables were analyzed: vertical, anteroposterior, and mediolateral ground reaction forces; foot flexion and abduction and adduction angles; knee joint flexion angle; and trunk flexion angle in the sagittal plane. The angle of a foot adduction recorded for the instructors was significantly smaller than that of the students. The knee joint angle while stepping up was significantly higher for the instructors compared to that for the students. Our research confirmed that foot dorsal flexion and adduction performed while stepping up increased load on the ankle joint. Both small and large angles of knee flexion while stepping up and down resulted in knee joint injuries. A small trunk flexion angle in the entire cycle of step workout shut down dorsal muscles, which stopped suppressing the load put on the spine.

Abstract:

Abstract The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of using inverse sequences of combined bench-step aerobics and resistance exercise on cardiorespiratory, hemodynamic and perceptual variables during exercise and one-hour post-exercise. The tested sequences were bench-step aerobics immediately before and immediately after resistance exercise. Thirteen apparently healthy and physically active women (age = 21.9 ± 6.1 years, body height = 160 ± 0.1 cm, body mass = 58.8 ± 7.5 kg, estimated fat mass = 17.2 ± 2.0% and estimated maximal oxygen uptake = 37.5 ± 2.6 mL∙kg-1∙min-1) performed a 20-minute bench-step aerobics routine, immediately before (STEP_RES) and after (RES_STEP) resistance exercise. Oxygen uptake and heart rate were continuously measured, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, body temperature and perceived exertion were measured at rest, immediately after each type of exercise and at 15, 30, 45 and 60 min after exercise. When resistance exercise was performed first (RES_STEP), oxygen uptake was higher (23.2 ± 3.9 vs. 20.5 ± 4.8 mL∙kg-1∙min-1), but the heart rate (164.5 ± 9.1 vs. 173.9 ± 11.7 bpm) and body temperature (36.5 ± 0.4 vs. 37.6 ± 0.6 ºC) were lower. In both sequences, the type of exercise performed first was pointed out with a lower perceived exertion or lower perceived intensity. Exercise and 60-min post-exercise blood pressure had a similar response in both sequences, and systolic blood pressure along with diastolic blood pressure were lower than pre-exercise from 30 min until 60 min post-exercise. The results suggest that the sequence affected oxygen uptake and perceived exertion during exercise and that this total workload, despite the sequence, promoted a post-exercise blood pressure decrease in normotensive participants.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a Step Aerobics Training (SAT) on the skin temperature (Tsk) in different regions (ROI) of the anterior body surface. The study included 15 healthy volunteers of the Bialystok University of Technology (BUT) without any previous experience in SAT training. Two sets of thermograms were recorded before and immediately after exercise at the first and last sessions of a 30-weeks SAT program with a progressive intensity. The results indicate a generalized drop in body temperature immediately after exercise with ΔTsk values of -2.45ºC registered immediately after the first training and lower drops (ΔTsk = -1.69ºC) after the 30 weeks of SAT. The regions with lower values of post- vs pre-exercise Tsk were the thighs both in the first session and in the last session of the 30-weeks SAT program. The results show non-significant variations for asymmetries between the values of the contralateral ROIs in every moment of the data collection. We concluded that a 30-week SAT program resulted in significant drop of mean Tsk of evaluated body parts (ROI), being the thermal effects related with the areas more activated in the sport practice. From the thermal asymmetries perspective, the training program carried out did not generate any injury risk for the participants.

Abstract:

Aim. The paper aims to identify the most effective direction in fitness aerobics for the best physical training of middle aged females. Materials and methods. A pedagogical experiment was conducted in March 2018 – November 2018. The experiment was held on the premises of the World of fitness sports club (Togliatti). Ninety (n = 90) females aged from 35 to 50 years participated in the experiment. All females were divided into three groups depending on their fitness discipline (Pilates (EG-1), strip dance (EG-2), step aerobics (EG-3)). To compare the programs, a set of indicators was used that characterize the morphofunctional and somatometric changes in the subjects, as well as the dynamics of physical qualities. Statistical data processing was performed using the Microsoft Office and Statistica for Windows v.6.0 software package. The collected data were described using sample size (n), arithmetic mean (x ~), and standard deviation (SD). Results. The recovery time (according to the functional test) in EG-3 decreased by an average of 0.8, in EG-2 – by 0.5, in EG-1 – by 0.4. Orthostatic test showed that the difference in horizontal and vertical positions reduced and did not exceed 10 bpm. Rate of recovery in step-test in EG-3 decreased by an average of 3.3 s, in EG-2 – by 2.8 s; in EG-1 – by 2.1 s. The strength of the abdominal muscles increased on average by 7 times (69.2 %); muscle strength of the shoulder girdle improved by 8.4 times (40.8 %); strength of the thigh muscles increased on average by 20.2 times (44.5 %); vertebral column mobility improved by an average of 7.2 cm (66.6 %); in EG – 1, coordination abilities improved by 6.3 s (73.9 %), in EG-2 – by 7.4 s (71.3 %), in EG-3 – by 9 s (69.2 %). Indicators of body proportionality after the experiment showed that there was a decrease in the hips by 8.3 ± 1.20 cm; waist circumference reduced by 5.1 ± 1.22 cm; breast circumference reduced by 1.8 ± 0.38 cm. Conclusion. The results obtained prove the greatest efficiency of step aerobics classes compared to other fitness disciplines, which is expressed in a significant improvement of the cardiovascular, respiratory, coordination systems and somatic indicators, as well as in an increase in physical fitness in middle-aged females.
