A Study on the Heart Rate Characteristics and Patterns in Shuttlecock Kicking Sport among Young People

The inheritance and development of shuttlecock sport needs the integration of modern science and technology. In this paper, the heart rate characteristics of college students during shuttlecock kicking and its evolution process of heart rate during 10 weeks were studied by Polar heart rate testing watch. The subjects were 90 male and female college students in three classes in a semester. In each week, the total number of shuttlecock kicking in three minutes and the maximum number of one time consecutive shuttlecock kicking, as well as the change of heart rate of students who kicking shuttlecock for three minutes were counted and analyzed. The results showed that the average maximum heart rate of shuttlecock kicking for three minutes was 159.7 times/min, which corresponded to moderate-to-vigorous intensity aerobic exercise. The subjects’ heart rates gradually increased in the first 3-4 weeks of the course, and then gradually decreased. The maximum heart rate in the first 3 weeks was less than that in the last 3 weeks. The total number of 3 -minute shuttlecock kicking ($\mathbf{P} \boldsymbol{=} \mathbf{0. 0 0 0}\lt \mathbf{0. 0 1}$) and the number of one time continuous shuttlecock kicking ($\mathbf{P}=\mathbf{0. 0 2 7}\lt \mathbf{0. 0 2}$) increased significantly. It indicated the body function economization after long-term shuttlecock kicking. The last minute average heart rates of the students with poor foundation and good foundation of shuttlecock kicking decreased significantly, while the ones of the students with normal foundation increased. Heart rate can reflect the different training levels of shuttlecock kicking. The heart rate increases in the initial adaptation and the intermediate advanced processes. Then, after reaching a certain level, the phenomenon of functional saving happens.
