Abstract

Heart rate values are considered to be a significant indicator of individual fitness, intensity of exercise
and sympathetic activation. There are few studies in Czech literature that focuses on the heart rate in athletes with intellectual disabilities. The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of heart rate
on subjects during fifteen table tennis matches and within the 23rd national tournament of the Czech Special Olympics Movement. Ten participants (6 males, 4 females) who had for at least 3 years trained regularly and participated in table tennis competitions under the Special Olympics rules, were observed. Their heart rate was measured using a sports tester Forerunner® 15, Garmin Ltd, which was fastened on the participant’s chest during their game day. Heart rate values during the matches were statistically processed along with the matches’ duration and the resulting match scores. Correlation coefficients obtained from scatterplots show a statistically significant relationship of mean heart rate values during the match with the resulting score, probably influenced by emotional and psychological stress associated with the match loss. The effect of match duration on the heart rate was not statistically significant during observed matches. Subsequent analysis of the body composition of the athletes showed that sixty percent of were in the category of overweight or obesity. These results highlight the need to promote healthy lifestyles and physical activity in the population with intellectual disabilities.
