Comparative Analysis of the Cardiovascular System in Adult Men and Women through Participation in Spinning Classes

Abstract

The aim of this study was to compare the functions of the cardiovascular system (heart rate, blood pressure, cardiorespiratory capacity, etc.) in adult men and women following participation in spinning classes. The participants were divided into two adult age groups, men and women, and were monitored before and after an 8-week spinning training program. The hypothesis of the study was that men and women would exhibit different cardiovascular system responses to moderate-intensity exercise, considering physiological sex differences. The methodology included monitoring heart rate, blood pressure, and other cardiorespiratory parameters during each spinning session at Wender Gym in Suceava. Additionally, we utilized physical tests to assess improvements in the participants' cardiorespiratory capacity. The study's objectives were to analyze changes in cardiovascular functions following spinning exercises and to observe differences between men and women in terms of recovery and adaptation to training. The study results indicated significant differences in how the cardiovascular system of men and women responds to spinning exercises, particularly concerning heart rate recovery and blood pressure changes.
