Zusammenfassung:The Indoor Cycling (IC) is one of the most widely practiced today in gyms in Brazil and in the world. The IC is practiced on a stationary bike designed specifically for this type of class combining basic movements of traditional cycling combined with different musical rhythms. The IC is a predominantly aerobic exercise performed at high intensities, thus tools for monitoring these intensities by practitioners that is easy to use and low cost is needed. Therefore, the aims of this study are to examine the response of HR and RPE during classes IC and the relation between the two variables. The sample was composed of 10 women practitioners of IC mean age of 37.5 [+ or -] 9.4 years. Were monitored two classes of IC of each volunteer in training real conditions, measuring HR and RPE during the classes. The results indicate that the IC monitored classes are held in high intensity, on average 90.3 ± 4.3% HR max and 5.2 ± 0.9 for RPE. Also found high and significant correlation (r = 0.79, p = 0.02) between HR and RPE. In this way, given the results presented we conclude that the IC classes are held in high intensity, requiring great work cardiorespiratory system. In addition, high and significant correlation between HR and RPE indicates that this is a valid tool for monitoring the intensity of IC classes.

O CI e praticado em uma bicicleta estacionaria desenvolvida especificamente para esse tipo de aula combinando movimentos basicos do ciclismo tradicional aliado a diferentes ritmos musicais. O CI e um exercicio predominantemente aerobio, realizado em altas intensidades, dessa forma, ferramentas para o monitoramento dessas intensidades pelos praticantes que seja de facil aplicacao e baixo custo se faz necessario. Dessa forma, os objetivos do presente estudo sao verificar a resposta da FC e PSE durante aulas de CI e verificar a relacao entre as duas variaveis. A amostra foi composta por 10 mulheres praticantes de CI com idade media de 37,5 ± 9,4 anos. Foram monitoradas duas aulas de CI de cada voluntaria em condicoes reais de treinamento, mensurando a FC e PSE durante as aulas. Os resultados indicam que as aulas de CI monitoradas sao realizadas em alta intensidade, em media 90,3 ± 4,3 % da FC maxima e 5,2 ± 0,9 para PSE. Tambem foi encontrada alta e significativa correlacao (r=0,79,
