摘要：Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the intensity of SuperJump® workoutas a home-based activity for fulfilling physical activity recommendations during COVID-19home-confinement. Seventeen (males: n = 10; females: n = 7) college students (age: 25.8 ± 2.7 years;height: 1.7 ± 0.1 m; weight: 66.2 ± 12.1 kg) participated in the study. To assess the intensity of theactivity (30-min), heart rate (HR), expressed as percentages of age-predicted maximal HR (%HRmax),and session ratings of perceived exertion (sRPE), collected on a CR10 scale, were used. %HRmax datawere categorically separated in five classes of intensity according to the American College of SportScience’s guidelines. Enjoyment was evaluated using the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale (PACES).Repeated measures ANOVA was used to evaluate differences (p < 0.05) in relation to gender andexercise intensity. No gender difference emerged for %HRmax and sRPE. Significantly higher (p < 0.05)%HRmax were found for the moderate intensity (47.1 ± 34.4%) with respect to very light (3.6 ± 6.9%),light (14.5 ± 23.3%) and vigorous (34.6 ± 39.6%) and for the vigorous intensity with respect to very light;no near maximal to maximal values were observed. Subjects perceived SuperJump® as moderate(sRPE = 3.1 ± 1.2) while showing high levels of enjoyability (PACES = 86.6 ± 16.2%). SuperJump®can be classified as moderate-to-vigorous activity, representing an effective alternative and enjoyablehome-based activity for preventing the effects of a sedentary lifestyle during home-confinement.
