The planned and systematic practice of dance can contribute to improve the physical condition and health of people, currently there are insufficient findings in this area of study. The objective was to determine the physiological variability of three autochthonous rhythms of national folkloric dance in the Yawarkanchik group of Cuenca, Ecuador. The research design was descriptive-correlational, with a quantitative and cross-sectional approach. The measurement of intensity with respect to the increase in heart rate (HR), distance, speed, number of steps, energy expenditure and perceived effort, was analyzed using GPS - running watch (Sigma) and Modified Borg scale; with the participation of 8 professional dancers. The results showed that the rhythm with the highest percentage of HR was the rhythm of the Sierra; with respect to distance, speed and number of steps, the rhythm of the Oriente stood out, followed by the rhythm of the Costa and finally the rhythm of the Sierra, with significant differences, respectively. The greatest energy expenditure was the rhythm of the Sierra, followed by the rhythm of the Oriente, and the rhythm of the Costa. In terms of perceived effort, the highest demand was in the highlands, medium demand was in the east, and low demand was in the coast, with no significant differences.
