- Abstract
The study's objectives were: to know the HR (Max. Min. and AVG) in female parachuting athletes and to analyse the HR (Max. Min. and AVG) during the different moments of the jump. Three skydivers with an advanced level of experience (competition athletes) aged between 20 and 45 participated in the study. After collecting sociodemographic and BMI data, the WIMU devices were placed before the first jump of the day in order to collect HR measurements at different times. Exploratory descriptive analyses of the mean and standard deviation were used. We recorded an HR AVG during all moments of the jump of 140bpm, with moment 3, which corresponds to the moment of free fall, being recorded as the highest HR AVG with a value of 156bpm. We conclude that a parachute jump produces cardiac stress, manifested by an increasing increase in HR moments before entering the plane until the moment the parachute opens, stabilizing until the moment of landing and decreasing slightly after landing.
