Fitness & Performance Journal, v.2, n.2, p. 113-120, 2003. ABSTRACT: Objective: This study aims to determine aerobic intensity and quantify body composition and caloric expenditure during Body Pump sessions. Methodology: 10 adults (5 male and 5 female individuals), regular users of Body Pump sessions were evaluated. Each individual performed it while it was done the collection and analysis of expired gases. The obtained data was referenced against VO2max and heart rate obtained during a maximal test on a cycle ergometer and was also compared to the aerobic intensity and caloric expenditure during a 60-minute cycle at constant workload. Results: The mean oxygen consumption during the sessions was 20.2 ml.kg-1.min-1, which is equivalent to 40.7% of VO2max. The average heart rate was 135.4 heartbeats per minute. The individuals burned an average of 411.0 calories (16.7% fat, 83.3% carbohydrates). The maximum number of calories burned was 424 for women and 603 for men. The individuals burned an average of 623.3 calories (27.3% fat, 72.7% carbohydrates). Conclusion: Body pump provides a low stimulus to improve aerobic capacity and should not be used as the only method of cardiovascular exercise. It also produces a significant caloric expenditure and may also provide other fitness benefits such as muscular body mass increase and maintenance of body composition. Keywords: Body pump; aerobic intensity; calorie expenditure, gas analysis, endurance.

INTRODUCTION Many variables help for the efficiency of a program of training/ exercise on reducing the corporeal fat and on the improvement on many components of physical conditioning, including the frequency, intensity, duration and type of exercise. “Body Pump” is a training program with an overcharge with exercises choreographic, from a high repetition. Although the potential benefits from the Body Pump wouldn’t have been elucidated to the muscular resistance, the improved aerobic conditioning, loss of fat weight (fat), and the maintenance of, or the enlargement of the thin corporeal mass. The aim of this present study was to measure the aerobic demand and the caloric waist from a standard class of BODYPUMP. LOSING WEIGHT The main goal from any program of losing weight should be on losing weight, more than the total corporeal weight. To lose weight, the energetic waist from an individual must exceed his energetic consumption. The variable which influences the energetic waist includes the Metabolic Rate of Resting (TRM), Thermic Meal Effects (ETA), the Thermic Effect of Physical Activity (ETAF) (MELBY, 1999). The exercise enlarges the energetic waist total daily, taking to lose the fat weight (fat). The body may be considered as a consistent from two compartments; thin mass (MM) and the fat mass (MG). One minimum amount of fat is necessary to maintain the hormonal levels, the metabolic processes, and protecting the vital organs. The excess of fat, however, is linked to a variety of diseases related to the life style and there are connotations social negatives about it. The 114 individuals must incite to lose corporeal weight, while maintaining or enlarging the MM. It is necessary 7.700 Kcal (32.200 kJ) to burn 1 kg. of fat. Enlarging the total daily waist, the exercise may take to one caloric negative balance. Exercises of low intensity, in opposite to the high intensity is prescribed by many doctors as an efficient way on losing mass fat weight, because the fat is the main source of fuel for the exercises of low intensity. Many studies have shown, however, that in spite of the exercises of low intensity uses predominantly the fat as a source of fuel, the total amount of energy which comes from the fat can be higher during the exercises of moderated to a high intensity (PUHL, 1992). Besides that, “it is the balance among the total of calories used and consumed, and not to the font of used calories, which determines if a person really loses weight” (PUHL, 1992, p. 16). For instance, as we see on the Chart 1, one hour of running using both, more total calories and more derivate fat calories, than one hour of walking. Excess of Consumption of Oxygen after the Exercise The two components which contain the thermic effects of the physical activity (ETAF) are the waist energy during the exercise and the excess of consumption of oxygen after the exercise (ECOPE). ECOPE was defined by Sedlock et al., (1989) as “the energetic waist during the period after the exercise while the metabolic rate stayed elevated above the pre-exercised level”. The waist energy during the activity itself counts for a major waist of energy related to the exercise. ECOPE, however, may have an important implication on the weight’s control, once that it helps for the total Fit Perf J, Rio de Janeiro, 2, 2, 114, Mar/Apr 2003 energetic waist daily. As an example, if one individual have one ECOPE liquid of 40 kcal per section of exercise, and if he exercises 4 times per week during a year, the energetic waist related to the ECOPE would totalize 8320 kcal, representing more than 1 kg of fat loss. ECOPE occurs due to the necessary time to correct the disturbance on the homeostasis caused by the exercise (QUINN, 1994). Many factors, such as the enlargement of the concentration of catecholamine (CHAD, 1985), and the elevated corporeal temperature (HAGBERG, 1980), requires time to return to the pre-exercised levels. Both, the intensity and the duration of the exercise determine the extension from the ECOPE. The Chart 2 shows the result of a variety of studies which investigate the extension from the ECOPE with many different types, intensities, and duration of the exercise. However the extension of the ECOPE have been varied widely among these studies, they provide one distinguish on the extension matter hoped followed after one hour of exercise. Measurement of the Caloric Waist used on Analyzes of Gases The caloric waist during the exercise may be measured by the volume measuring of the air inhaled and exhaled and the con- centrations of oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air breathed. The coefficient of the breathe exchange (CTR) is the volume rate of CO2 produced to the O2 consumed by the body per minute (FOX, 1993). The coefficient of breath exchange varies among 0.70 if the fat provides 100% of energy used and 1.00 if the carbohydrate (CHO) provides 100% of energy for the exercise (Peronnet & Masicotte, 1991). During the exercises of low intensity, on the most of oxidations of the fat is occurring; so, the CTR is at the last final of the variation. It is generally assumed that the protein provides with less than 10% of energy used during the exercise. Due to the modest contribution of protein to the waist of energy and the difficulty technique on measuring the fuel of the acid amine, one rate of breath exchange non protein is used to determine the energetic equivalency. The studies show that the rate of oxidation of the fat is higher during the moderated activity (approximately 65% VO2 max) (HAWLEY, 1998). There are many reasons why there is a change of oxidation of the fat to the oxidation of CHO in order that the intensity of exercises increases, including the presence of triglycerides intra muscular, circular catecholamine, less production of Triphosphate of adenosine (ATP) deriving from the fat per unit of time, and the gradient of grax acid among the blood and the muscle.

Fit Perf J, Rio de Janeiro, 2, 2, 115, Mar/Apr 2003 115 intensity of exercise enlarges from low to moderate, it is probable that the total of oxidation of the fat enlarges due to triglycerides intra muscular provides additional grax acid (MARTIN, 1997). During the exercise of high intensity, the rate used of the fat fall due to one enlargement of circular catecholamine which incites the rupture of glycogen and the rate of glycols, and furnishing the metabolism of the fat (HAWLEY, 1998). The change of fat to CHO in order that the intensity grows is necessary for that happens the exercises of high intensity because the ATP is produced to a rate much faster than the CHO is metabolized compared to the fat (HAWLEY, 1998). METHODS Individuals Ten adult individuals that practiced regularly conditioning activities in the gym participated on this study. Details from the individuals are displayed on the Chart 3. On the moment of the research, the individuals have completed one average of five sections of conditioning per week. All of them knew the BODYPUMP program, as having participated at least once per week, in an average of four years. With the consentient from the individuals, one historical of exercises was obtained before the first section of tests. Proceedings The individuals have completed three sections in a lab separated without specific order, one class of BODYPUMP, one section of 60 minutes of cycling and one VO2 max test. The section of cycling was included to provide one comparison among the BODYPUMP and the way of traditional exercise in a gym, known as being efficient on burning calories. The corporeal mass was measured with a break of 0.1 kg and the height, on breaks of 0.5 centimeters. The metabolic informations were collected using an indirect calorimetric. The individuals breathed throughout the equipment called Hans Rudolph, valve of double-via (Kansas City) and used one clip on the nose. The inhaled air was measured using one K520 Flow Transducer (KL Engineering, Sylmar, CA). The exhaled gases were collected each 60 seconds from a mixture room of five liters and analyzed using one analyzer of oxygen Ametek S-3 A1, and one of carbon dioxide were calibrated using one mixture of known gases of concentration. The analyzers and the K520 Flow Transducer were linked through one conversor A/D of 8 bits to one computer IBM compatible. Ventilation, consumption of oxygen, production of carbon dioxide and rate of breath exchange (TTR) were measured and displayed using the Ametek OCM-2 Oxygen Uptake System Software. The heart frequency was monitored using the system of telemetry (Vantage XL, Polar Electro, and Finland). On the BODYPUMP sections and the cycling, the caloric waist per minute and the percentage of usage of fat and carbohydrates were measured and calculated though the amounts obtained on the tests of oxygen consumption and the rate of breath exchange (TTR), using the Chart of breath quotient non-protein indicated by Peronnet and Massicotte (1991). BODYPUMP Each individual have performed one class of BODYPUMP under the individual instruction from a tutor from Les Mills. The same tutor and the program of class were used for all the individuals. The individuals have selected the overweight used on each segment of the class. The sections have lasted an average of 57 minutes, including the periods of heating up and cooling down. The air exhaled was collected along of the duration of the classes (including the heating up and cooling down). CYCLING The individuals have performed 60 minutes of continuous cycling in an ergometric bike Monark 824E. The first and the last 5 minutes of the section were performed to one weight of 1.5 Watts per kg of corporeal weight for men and 1.2 Watts per kg on women. From the 6th to the 55th minute, the individuals were exercising to 2.0 and 1.6 Watts per kg for men and women, respectively. The cadency was maintained from 85-90 rpm. VO2 Maximum Test The VO2max test was also performed in an ergometric bike Monark 824E using one protocol of phases of increasing the overweight. The initial overweight was at 85W with a phase of increment of 25W (Men) and 17 W (Women) and the duration of each phase was up to a minute. The individuals have continued up to the voluntary exhaustion. All of the individuals have reached one peak frequency into 10 beats per minute of the maximum preview for the age and one rate of exchange of breathing of 1.10 or more (ISSEKUTZ, 1962). Metabolic Measuring Indirect calorimetrical was used for measure the energetic waist from the class of BODYPUMP and the sections of cycling of 60 minutes. The total of calories consumed per minute and the percentage contribution provided from the fat and the carbohydrates Chart 3 - Characteristics from the Individuals Mean (Standard deviation) All the individuals Men only Women only 116 Age(years) Weight(kg) Stature(cm) 32.7 (4.2) 31.1 (3.5) 34.3 (4.5) 71.1 (13.3) 79.5 (12.0) 62.6 (8.6) 171.4 (6.5) 175.0 (6.0) 167.8 (5.3) Max.

As that the breathing exchanges from 0.7036 to 0.996 the amount of energy produced per liter of oxygen consumed increases from 4.851 kcal to 5.189 kcal. The contribution from the fat linearly decreased from 100% to one TTR of 0.7036, to 0% to one TTR of 0.996 and above. On contrarily, the contribution of carbohydrates increases from 0% to one TTR of 0.7036 to 100% to one TTR of 0.996 and above. For more details on these amounts analyzes the chart of quotient breathing non protein provided by Peronnet and Massicotte (1991). The following metabolic variables were measured from two sections of exercises (BODYPUMP and cycling): total of calories used per minute, percentage of calories provided by the carbohydrate, and the percentage of calories provided by the fat. Analyze from the Lactate on the Blood To guarantee that the gas analyze during the sections of BODYPUMPO have captured suitably the total caloric used, examples of lactate were taken from seven individuals immediately on pre and after one typical class of BODYPUMP. It served to determine if Chart 4 - Concentration of the Blood Lactate before and after the section of BODYPUMP Individual 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Mean Before 2.4 2.1 2.2 1.9 2.4 2.0 2.8 2.3 After 3.1 5.4 3.0 3.1 3.3 2.7 4.6 3.6 the individuals had returned near the lactate of resting at the end of the cooling down. Seven individuals aleatoricly chosen (three women and four men) gave their samples of blood (from their finger tips) which were analyzed using one Analyzer of Blood Lactate Accusport (Chart 4). The elevated moderated on the concentration from the lactate blooding at the end of the exercise, and as well as the previous studies from ECOPE suggested that the additional calories are used above and beyond on those measured on the results from the analyzes from the gases (see Discussion). RESULTS The heart frequency and the amounts of the oxygen consumption during the classes of BODYPUMP and cycling are displayed on the Chart 5 – 7. As the average from the consumption of oxygen (expressed relatively to the corporeal weight) during the sections of BODYPUMP was at 20.2 ml/kg/min. for all the individuals combined, and at 21.5 ml/kg/min. and 19.0 ml/kg/min. for men and women, respectively. The averages of consumption of oxygen for the section of cycling were 28.8, 29.4 and 28.2 ml/kg/min. for all the individuals, men and women, respectively. The individuals were practicing to one average intensity of 40.7% of its VO2max during the section of BODYPUMP. The amounts for men and women separately were 41.6% and 39.8%. The amounts of the intensity during the section of cycling were 60. 3%, 58. 7%, 59, and 2% of VO2max for all the individuals, men and women respectively. The individuals have spent one average of 9, 8 minutes above 50% of VO2max during the section of BODYPUMP when expressed with the groups, and 11.6 and 8.0 minutes when separated among men and women.

The average of heart frequency during the section of BODYPUMP was at 135.5 beats per minute for the group, and 138.2 and 132.6 for men and women, respectively. During the section of cycling, these amounts were at 134.4, 136.5 and 131.6 beats per minutes for the group, men and women. The individuals have spent one average of 38.8 minutes above the 70% from the F.C. max during the section of BODYPUMP, when expressed as a group, and at 37.4 and 40.2 minutes when separated, men and women. During the cycling section, these amounts were 33.6, 32.4 and 34.8 minutes for the group, men and women, respectively. The F.C. relatively high regarding to the consumption of oxygen during the BODYPUMP is explained on the Discussion. The waist of calories and the usage of the substrate during the BODYPUMP and the cycling are displayed on the Chart 8 – 10. The burned individual one average of 411.0 calories during the section of BODYPUMP when expressed as one group, and 483.1 and 338.9 when separated on men and women. It is equalized to 7.2, 8.4 and 5.9 calories per minute for the group, men and women, respectively. The highest amounts for men are related firstly to their higher corporeal weight. The maximum number of burned calories was at 424 for women, and 603 for men. The BODYPUMP section has taken to the consumption of 70.0, 88.6 and 51.5 fat calories and 340.9, 394.4 and 287.4 carbohydrates calories for the group, men and women, respectively. It is the same as 16.7% of fat and 83.3% of carbohydrates of the group as a whole, 18.6% of fat and 81.4% of carbohydrate for men, and 14.9% of fat and 85.1% of carbohydrate for women. The individual’s burn one average of 623.3 calories during the cycling section when expressed as a group and 706.3 and 540.2 when separated among men and women. It is the same as 10.5, 12.0 and 9.0 calories per minute for the group, men and women, respectively. The cycling section has taken the consumption of 169.5, 182.1 and 157.0 calories of fat and 453.7, 524.3 and 383.2 calories of carbohydrates for the group, men and women, respectively. It is the same as 27.3% of fat and 72.7% of carbohydrates for the groups with a whole one, and 26.4% of fat and 73. 6% of carbohydrate for men and 28, 2% of fat and 71.8% of carbohydrate for women.

The present study has investigated the aerobic contest and the caloric waist in a standard section of BODYPUMP. The frequency, the intensity, the duration and the type of exercise establishes the efficiency of a program of training/exercise on reduction of corporeal fat and at the improvement of many components of physical aptness. The leading which are more widely followed for the physical condition and health are launched by ACSM – American College of Sports Medicine. The position from ACSM for the amount and the quality of the training to development and the maintenance of the aerobic conditioning, from the corporeal composition, and the strength and muscular resistance on healthy adults includes the following recommendations: • Frequency of training: 3-5 days per week • Intensity of training: 60-90% of F.C. max or 50-85% of the maximum consumption of oxygen • Duration of the training: 20-60 minutes of continued aerobic activity • Type of activity: any activity which uses great muscular group can be maintained continually, as being rhythmic and aerobic by nature. • Training with overweight: the training of strength from an intensive moderate, enough to develop and maintain the thin weight (without fat), must be integral part from the program of conditioning from an adult. One series of 8-12 repetitions of eight to ten exercises which stipulates the main muscular groups at least two times per week is the minimum recommended. BODYPUMP is an efficient way of training which fulfills the most from the criteria from ACSM in a class of an hour. This section discusses the implications from the results from this present study for the physiological benefits from the BODYPUMP. Aerobic Intensity The individuals were exercising at an average of 74.2% from the F.C. max and 40, 7% from the maximum aerobic capacity during the classes of BODYPUMP. These amounts were similar as to men and women were considered as a group, and separately. Although the average of heart frequency during the BODYPUMP would be enough to reach the recommendations by ACSM on developing and maintaining the aerobic conditioning, the oxygen consumption, as it wasn’t provided. The heart frequency during the BODYPUMP is elevated disproportionately to the oxygen consumption due to the effects of pressure which occurs during the exercise of training of weight. For any level of oxygen consumption, the heart frequency is typically 20% much higher for the exercises from the superior members than from the inferior ones, such as the cycling (PENDERGAST, 1989). The reached average intensity during the section of cycling (60, 3% from the VO2max and 73. 4% from the F.C. max) was higher than that reached during the section of BODYPUMP. The wasted time above from the 50% of VO2max and 70& from the VO2 max was also higher during the cycling. During the section of BODYPUMP the individuals have wasted 10 minutes above from the 50% of VO2max and 2 minutes above from 70% of VO2max, as compared at 46 minutes above from the 50% of VO2max and 8 minutes above the 70% of VO2max for the section of cycling. These results show that the section of BODYPUMP provides one low stimulus to the moderate to enlarge the aerobic conditioning. The implication from these results is that the BODYPUMP is useful to maintain the aerobic conditioning, but it will not give enough stimuli to improve the aerobic conditioning on individuals already trained, such as those which participated from this study. For these individuals, two or three days per week of aerobic exercise of a higher intensity would be necessary to improve the aerobic conditioning. For the sedentary populations, such as individuals of half age without any historical of aerobic training, the BODYPUMP would probably provide one aerobic demand relatively higher, which it would be enough to become the aerobic conditioned.

Men and women used one average from 483 and 339 calories, respectively. The highest number of calories used by a man during the BODYPUMP was 603, while the highest energetic waist for women was 424 calories. However the sum of calories used was higher during the section of cycling than on the section of BODYPUMP, the results showed that both types of exercises are enough to provide the loss of weight. The cycling section has consumed a higher consume of fat than the BODYPUMP section (27.3% compared to 16.7%) and there weren’t any significant differences among men and women for this amount. The contribution that the fat and the carbohydrates give to the mixture of fuel depends of the intensity of exercise: the more the intensity the less will be the fat contribution. The classes of BODYPUMP required unfinished blasts of strength from a high intensity, which used exclusively the carbohydrate as a fuel. In contrast, the section of cycling corresponded to one period of exercises of intensity moderate consistence, which allowed one higher contribution of fat. However, is the number of burned calories and not the source of these which determines the energetic balance and the lost of weight. The wideness of the contribution from ECOPE to the caloric waist during the BODYPUMP was not measured. The results from the study are displayed at the Chart 2, so, suggest that for an hour of similar exercise to the BODYPUMP, the hoped caloric waist was related to the ECOPE would be approximately 62 calories at an average of 411 calories used by the individuals from this research, enlarging the total caloric waist, due to one section of BODYPUMP, to one average of 556 calories for men, and 390 for women. The number of sections from the BODYPUMP needed to lose 1kg of corporeal fat (7700 calories), so, it is 16.3 for the standard individual, 13.8 for the standard men, and 19.7 for the standard women on this research. One individual which didn’t modify his food consumption (diet), and that added three sections of BODYPUMP per week, he would hope to lose 1kg of corporeal fat in 4-6 weeks. Additional Benefits from the BODYPUMP The additional benefits from the BODYPUMP include probable improvements on the muscular resistance, on the maintenance of the thin corporeal mass, and the social interation. Muscular resistance is defined as ability from a muscle to produce repeated strength for one period and resist the fatigue (ZATSIORSKY, 1995), as it might be increased to a higher and efficiently through exercises of high number of repetitions and low overweight. Although the effects from the section of BODYPUMP among the muscular resistance wouldn’t have been measured on this research, the moderate weight and the nature of high number of repetitions from the BODYPUMP would fit on the requirements to improve the muscular resistance. The usage of the challenging weights by a few individuals during the sections of BODYPUMP may result on gains absolute of strength and muscular hypertrophy. It is probable that 120 the gains of strength and hypertrophy would occur for individuals already trained, such as those who participated from the present research; however, for individuals without one historical of training with overweight, the BODYPUMP may provide enough stimuli to evoke the strength gains. To maintain and/or to enlarge the thin corporeal mass is necessary one stimuli of muscular mass. However the present research wouldn’t track the corporeal mass along the time, the exercises of strength during the BODYPUMP certainly would appear to be enough to maintain the thin corporeal mass. The training with overweight for the whole body, BODYPUMP, suggests that this program would be more efficient on the maintenance or on the increase of thin corporeal mass than on the cycling. This is just one more area for a further investigation. Finally, the social interation provided by one class of BODYPUMP gives fun and one motivated environment, which encourage the constant to the program of exercises. The most challenging for the health and the physical conditioning to the common individual is to maintain one regular routine of exercise. The positive social atmosphere from one section of BODYPUMP is probably the leadership from one way of fun and to the enlargement of approval, which will provide, in a long term, a better benefit to the health and the physical aptness.
