Abstract

The present study was carried out determine the physiological intensities of cerebral palsy children during swimming exercises. Heart rate responses during swimming exercises were recorded continuously by telemetry in 5 severe cerebral palsy subjects of 9-11 years of age. Maximum heart rates ranged from 128 to 198beats/min and mean heart rates were 99-163beats/min. Mean heart rates during swimming were 149 and 163beats/min in athetotic subjects and 99, 105 and 121beats/min in spastic subjects. There was tendency that heart rate of the athetotics was more increased than that of spastic subjects.<br>There was significant correlation between oxygen intake and heart rate during swimming exercises in a mild spastic subject. Maximum oxygen intake obtained during treadmill walking was about 25% higher than the oxygen intake measured when the same cerebral palsy child was swimming.
