摘要：Padilla PA, Carrillo S, Montano EE, Buchanan CA, Dalleck LC.The Acute and Chronic Physiological Responses to Exercise withthe Total Gym® Row Trainer™ in Adults. JEPonline 2018;21(3):133-145. This study determined the effectiveness of a 6-wk Total Gym®Row Trainer™ on improving fitness and cardiometabolic risk factors.Sixteen women and men (mean ± SD: age, 27.7 ± 8.8 yrs; weight,73.3 ± 17.5 kg; percentage body fat, 24.6 ± 6.2%; and VO2 max,37.7 ± 5.8 mL·kg-1·min-1) completed both a maximal graded exercisetest and a 30-min Total Gym® Row Trainer™ exercise session onnon-consecutive days. Then, the subjects completed a 6-wkexercise training program (30-min sessions performed 5 times·wk-1)on the Total Gym® Row Trainer™. Heart rate for the 30-minexercise session was 142.5 ± 11.3 beats·min-1, which was 63.4 ±13.9% of the subjects’ heart rate reserve (HRR). Exercise intensity inMETs was 5.8 ± 1.2, which equates to 48.8 ± 14.2% of oxygenuptake reserve (VO2R). Total energy expenditure for an exercisesession was 222.0 ± 74.3 kcal·session-1. After 6 wk of training, therewere significant (P<0.05) improvements in cardiometabolic riskfactors, VO2 max, and muscular fitness. The findings support the useof the Total Gym® Row Trainer™ as an alternative to traditionalexercise modalities.
