| Abstract/Description: | The purpose of this study was twofold: (a) to determine the effect of music on heart rate, ratings of perceived exertion (RPE), and affect of older adult female participants during water exercise and (b) to determine if exercising in the preferred music condition would produce more benefits than exercising in the nonpreferred and no-music conditions. Heart rate was measured with Polar F1 heart rate monitors. Ratings of perceived exertion was measured with Borgs RPE Scale. Affect was measured with the Exercise-Induced Feeling Inventory. There were no significant differences in the heart rate, RPE, or affect in the 3 music conditions. Results indicate that RPE is an accurate gauge for measuring the exercise intensity of older adults participating in water exercise. | |
