Abstract
Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of four pre-exercise conditions—cold shower, hot shower, exercise warm-up, and rest—on heart rate and oxygen uptake. Five subjects rode a bicycle ergometer at 1080 kgm/min. for 5 min. Heart rate and O2 uptake during exercise and recovery were measured. Exercise heart rate and recovery oxygen uptake were found to be significantly lower after a cold shower than after the other conditions. There was a significant interaction between subjects and pre-exercise conditions on recovery heart rate.
