Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of low intensity exercise in a head down position using oxygen consumption (VO2) and the rate of perceived exertion (RPE). Ten healthy males (average age 21.7 ± 0.8 years) were the subjects. All subjects continued exercising in the supine and head down positions at the target heart rate (THR: 50%ATVO2) for 10 minutes using cycle ergometry installed at 90 degrees on a stand. We analyzed the average of VO2 and RPE for exercise from 5 minutes to 10 minutes in each position using the paired t-test. No significant differences were found in VO2 but the RPE of the head down position was significantly lower than that of the supine position. From this observation, since the same amount of VO2 as supine can be obtained in the more comfortable head down position, the head down position is expected to achieve greater continuity of exercise.
