Summary

Golf significantly impacts heart rate variability (HRV) from the start of a competition, likely due to stress. These physiological changes persist for hours after the game concludes.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Physiology
  • Sports Science
  • Autonomic Nervous System Function

Context:

  • Limited research exists on golf's physiological effects, particularly on heart rate variability (HRV).
  • Understanding golf's impact on autonomic function is crucial for athletes and sports science.
  • High-level golfers (n=6, aged 25-40) without cardiac conditions participated.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the acute effects of playing golf on heart rate variability (HRV) parameters.
  • To analyze HRV changes before, during, and after a golf competition.

Summary:

  • HRV was monitored throughout 12 golf games, including mean heart rate (HR), SDNN, rMSSD, pNN50, LF, HF, and LF/HF ratio.
  • Significant variations in all HRV parameters were observed at the game's onset, persisting throughout and for three hours post-competition.
  • Findings indicate increased HR, decreased total HRV, and reduced parasympathetic activity markers (pNN50, rMSSD).

Impact:

  • Golf competition induces significant physiological stress, demonstrably affecting autonomic nervous system function.
  • These stress-induced HRV alterations remain measurable hours after golf play ceases.
  • Highlights the need for further research into the psychophysiological demands of precision sports like golf.
