Assessment of the Exercise Intensity of Short Stick Exercises in Elderly Individuals

Table 3

Cardiorespiratory and energy expenditure responses of subjects during short stick exercises.

Data are listed as mean ± SD, and other data are listed as value.
Session 1: warming up.
Sessions 2–5: throwing, catching, keeping, flipping, and dropping a short stick.
: oxygen uptake, HR: heart rate, O₂ pulse: oxygen pulse, : minute ventilation, METs: metabolic equivalents.
Repeated one-way ANOVA, Bonferroni’s multiple comparisons.
