Reciente trabajo publicado con compañer@s de la Universidad de Alicante. Physiological and perceptual responses for specific taolu exercises (empty-hand versus heavy bag performance) JUAN M. CORTELL-TORMO 1 , MIGUEL GARCÍA-JAÉN 1 , JULIA GÓMEZ-RAMOS 1 , ROBERTO CEJUELA 1 , IVÁN CHULVI-MEDRANO 1 1 General and Specific Didactics, University of Alicante, Alicante, Spain Taolu or kung-fu forms are established sequences of offensive and defensive techniques representing fights against fictitious opponents that require motor control, rhythm, and movement differentiation capacities. In mostly styles, forms can be performed empty-hand or using a heavy bag or wooden-dummy. However, differences on acute physiological and perceptual responses when taolu are performed in both ways have not been studied so far and remain unknown. Therefore, the aim of this study was knowledge about acute heart rate (HR) and blood lactate [La – ] responses, and perceived exertion...
