Fitness level and the relationship between heart rate, body water, dehydration symptoms in adolescents during a pandemic

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

This study was conducted to find out the body response occurred immediately after bleep test after undergoing a pandemic period of more than one year. This research is an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional approach, using the purposive sampling technique. The research subjects were 43 students, 14 women and 29 men with the criteria (1) sports students who were physically active three times a week during the last 1-2 months; (2) no injury or (3) illness in the last 3-7 days. The instruments used are polar heart rate monitor h-10 (measure heart rate), Omron HBF 375 Karada Scan (assess the percentage of water in the body), and urine color scale (dehydration predictor). Data analysis through homogenity test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test, and Pearson Correlation test. The findings of this research were female (30.2 ± 2.63) and male (36.8 ± 5.31) VO2Max concluded as fair category. There was no significant relationship between heart rate with body water (0.071 > 0.05) and urine color (0.557 > 0.05), even body water and urine colour (0.10 > 0.05). The pandemic period is proven to make fitness levels stand in a fair category. Heart rate, body water percentage, and dehydration do not have a significant relationship with each other.
