- Abstract
Aim. The study aimed to examine both the HR response to exercise during some traditional sports games and the HR variability displayed by two Polar heart rate monitors (a watch and a chest strap), but also to bring to the attention of young people traditional sports games as alternatives during physical education lessons in order to preserve the intangible cultural heritage. Methods. The research methods used in this paper were: scientific documentation, Paired Samples t Test, Wilcoxon Test, statistical mathematics and graphical method. Results. It can be noticed that the results of measurements obtained with the two devices are significantly different in statistical terms only for maximum HR, where p = 0.008 < 0.05 for t = 3.9 and 6 degrees of freedom. Conclusions. The maximum HR values recorded during some traditional games such as Ultimate or Oina have once again revealed the importance of using these devices to monitor heart rate, an important indicator of body adaptation to exercise. The female student participating in this research provided maximum effort for more than 15 out of the 20 minutes allocated to the thematic sequence, which indicated a low level of cardiovascular fitness, therefore she was recommended to do more exercise and opt for aerobic motor activities in her free time. The statistically processed results have shown that the Polar Vantage V2 Watch has good accuracy during lowand moderate-intensity exercises and can be used with confidence by young people in their leisure motor activities.
