Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to monitor heart rate during Rhythmic Gymnastics exercises and to observe the modifications
occurred. This physiological parameter was measured using the “Garmin 910 XT” device, which indicated the values of heart
rate during Rhythmic Gymnastics exercises. The series comprised in this study included a second-category team, consisting of
4 female gymnasts who participated to the hoop and ball finals. After data interpreting, the vales of HR in hoop exercises
ranged between 166 b/min. and 179 b/min., X ± S = 171.5 ± 21.38. For the same exercises, maximum HR values ranged
between 183 b/min. and 192 b/min., X ± S=187.25 ± 22.34. During ball exercises, HR varied between 155 b/min. and 176
b/min., X ± S =164.5 ± 20.94. Maximum HR values for ball exercises ranged between 179 b/min. and 192 b/min., X ± S = 186.5
± 22.3. As a general conclusion, we highlight that hoop exercises are more dynamic, compared to ball exercises. These
aspects were actually highlighted by HR values throughout the monitoring of hoop and ball exercises.
