Abstract/Contents: | "The purpose of this investigation was twofold: (1) To quantify the total volume of activity during a round of walking golf, and (2) To analyze the impact of ambient temperature on heart rate response during walking golf. Study participants were thirteen male volunteers (m=24.1 years) of superior golfing ability. In order to fulfill the requirements of inclusion criteria, participants had to complete two rounds of walking golf on separate occasions. One round was played during an early summer morning in Arizona, whereas the second round was played within the same week, but during the afternoon. Wireless heart Rate Monitors, Yamax pedometer step counters, and Global Positioning System (GPS) Bluetooth loggers were worn by all participants in this study to monitor heart rate reactivity, total activity volume, and total distance walked throughout the round, respectively. During the moderate temperature golf round (m=29.6°C), golfers spent 6.3%, 36%, 49.5%, 7.2%, and 0.4% of total time at the following heart rate zones, respectively: (1) 70-90 bpm, (2) 91-110 bpm, (3) 111-130 bpm, (4) 131-150 bpm, and (5) ≥150 bpm. Conversely, during high ambient temperature golfing (m=40.6 °C), time spent in each heart rate zone was 1.8%, 23.8%, 37.3%, 30%, and 7% of total time, respectively. No significant differences (p>0.05) were found for the volume of activity, as presented as step counts (Low Temp: 11930.9 +/- 1084.8 total steps; versus High Temp: 11581.9 +/- 964.1 total steps) or total distance traveled (Low Temp: 8.41 km; versus High Temp: 8.23 km). The findings of this study clearly demonstrate the sensitivity of the cardiovascular system to changes in ambient temperature during outdoor leisure activity. Additional research is needed to examine alterations in core body temperature and hydration status to explicate these findings. These data also demonstrate the superiority of walking golf as a means of cardiovascular exercise." |
