Key result
An aerobic dance session elicited a significantly lower oxygen pulse than treadmill exercise performed at the same V̇O2 (7.2 vs 8.1 ml·beat-1; P<0.01), indicating target heart rate may not accurately monitor intensity.
Why the study?
Does aerobic dance elicit the same heart rate-V̇O2 response as treadmill jogging in untrained females?

24 untrained females (14 in training group, 10 controls), age 19 ± 1 (range 18-21)
Comparison

Target heart rate may overestimate relative intensity during aerobic dance; leaves open whether modality-specific prescriptions improve monitoring in untrained women.
Does aerobic dance elicit the same heart rate-V̇O2 response as treadmill jogging in untrained females?
Absolute Event Rate: 7.2% vs 8.1%
p-value: p=< 0.01
Heart rate during aerobic dance represents a lower relative exercise intensity (V̇O2) than running, suggesting target heart rate may not accurately monitor intensity across different exercise modalities.
PARKER et al. (1989) studied Untrained (n=24). Aerobic dance training vs. Treadmill jogging / Untrained controls was evaluated on Oxygen pulse (ml·beat-1) (p=< 0.01). An aerobic dance session elicited a significantly lower oxygen pulse than treadmill exercise performed at the same V̇O2 (7.2 vs 8.1 ml·beat-1; P<0.01), indicating target heart rate may not accurately monitor intensity.
