Aim. — To assess the heart rate (HR) responses of a F1 driver during an official driving session and an entire Grand Prix race (GP). Materials and methods. — One professional driver (24 years old, height: 176 cm; weight: 64 kg) was recruited for this study during the Grand Prix of Albert Park Melbourne Australia 2013 season of the F1 World Championship. The participant was monitored for HR values throughout qualification and race. The HR was recorded in the interval: 45-min-before through 30-min-after the qualification/race period. Results. — During the qualification period, the HR was ∼77% of the HRmax (154 ± 29 bpm). In particular, HR peaked around 94—99% of HRmax. During the race, the HR was constantly between 74 and 82% of HRmax (from 148 to 163 bpm), peaking around 92% of HRmax. Conclusions. — Our data could pave the way to increase knowledge about HR trends during specific phases of an official F1 competition. The ultimate goal would be to customize training periodicity, which is critical for sports scientists and coaches.

Abstract

Aim. — To assess the heart rate (HR) responses of a F1 driver during an official driving session and an entire Grand Prix race (GP). Materials and methods. — One professional driver (24 years old, height: 176 cm; weight: 64 kg) was recruited for this study during the Grand Prix of Albert Park Melbourne Australia 2013 season of the F1 World Championship. The participant was monitored for HR values throughout qualification and race. The HR was recorded in the interval: 45-min-before through 30-min-after the qualification/race period. Results. — During the qualification period, the HR was ∼77% of the HRmax (154 ± 29 bpm). In particular, HR peaked around 94—99% of HRmax. During the race, the HR was constantly between 74 and 82% of HRmax (from 148 to 163 bpm), peaking around 92% of HRmax. Conclusions. — Our data could pave the way to increase knowledge about HR trends during specific phases of an official F1 competition. The ultimate goal would be to customize training periodicity, which is critical for sports scientists and coaches.
Objectif. — Évaluer les réponses de la fréquence cardiaque (Fc) d’un pilote de F1 lors d’une séance de pilotage officielle et pendant l’intégralité d’une course de Grand Prix (GP). Matériels et méthodes. — Un pilote professionnel (24 ans, taille : 176 cm ; poids : 64 kg) a été recruté pour cette étude lors de la saison 2013 du Grand Prix du Championnat du monde de F1 d’Albert Park à Melbourne (Australie). La Fc du pilote a été enregistrée tout au long de la séance de qualification officielle et du Grand Prix. La Fc a été enregistrée dans l’intervalle de 45 minutes avant et jusqu’à 30 minutes après la période de la qualification officielle et du Grand Prix. Résultats. — Pendant toute la séance de qualification, la Fc était d’environ 77 % de la Fcmax (154 ± 29 bpm). Les valeurs maximales mesurées atteignaient environ 94—99 % de la Fcmax. Pendant la course, la FC était constamment comprise entre 74 et 82 % de la Fcmax (de 148 à 163 bpm), culminant autour de 92 % de la Fcmax. Conclusions. — Nos données pourraient ouvrir la voie à une meilleure connaissance des profils de Fc lors de phases spécifiques d’une compétition officielle de F1. Le but ultime serait de personnaliser la périodicité des entraînements, ce qui est essentiel pour les scientifiques du sport et les entraîneurs.
