[Studying strain and recovery of initial cardiovascular functional state in accordance with "vegetative tone
Abstract:
The aim of the investigation is the observation of strain during distinct physical and psychic load and particularly the recovery of the functional resting state of the cardiovascular system during restitution after load. Parameters of performance did not differ significantly between vagotonics and sympathotonics. Subjective appraisal of the ability to recover and relax after load comes off better by vagotonics than by sympathotonics. Vagotonics show a greater variability of parameters of the heart rhythm during transitional stages than sympathotonics do. This is a sign of good regulation of the tone by vagotonics during adaptation of the body to a new situation. We conclude a better come off of restitution of the functional state of the body after load, a better ability to recover and a better ability to hold out against new load.

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...

Normal Heart Sounds
S1 (First Heart Sound)-
S1 is made by the closure of the mitral and tricuspid valves (atrioventricular valves), marking the beginning of systole.
S2 (Second Heart Sound)-
S2 is made by the closure of the aortic and pulmonic valves (semilunar valves), marking the end of the systole.
Exercise Stress Test
Exercise stress testing, commonly known as a treadmill test, is a noninvasive procedure used to evaluate cardiovascular function and diagnose heart conditions.
Definition
An exercise stress test measures the heart's response to exertion using a treadmill or stationary bicycle. Chest electrodes record the heart's electrical activity through an ECG, and blood pressure is monitored regularly.
