Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of twelve weeks of aerobic training and eight weeks of training cessation on Heart Rate Variability (HRV). Ten healthy young men (Age: 21.7 +/- 2.2 years; Height: 179.2 +/- 6.9 cm; Mass 72.7 +/- 11.1 kg) completed an incremental test and a 60 degrees tilt test during which R-R intervals were recorded before (T0) and after (T12) 12 weeks of intensive training, and after 2, 4 and 8 weeks of training cessation (D2, D4 and D8, respectively). HRV was computed in time and frequency domains. Training resulted in a significant increase in estimated VO2max after T12 (p < 0.01), followed by a significant decrease during D2 and D8 (p < 0.05). Total power (LF + HF) and low frequency power (LF) increased significantly in the supine position after the training period (p < 0.05) and decreased moderately after D2 (p > 0.05) to stabilize afterwards. LF + HF and LF were not different from T0 at D8 (p > 0.05). It was concluded that eight weeks of training cessation allow to reverse the cardiovascular autonomic adaptations induced by 12 weeks of intensive training in healthy young men.

Let us explore the significant factors affecting heart rate, including age, body temperature, posture, acute pain, chemical influences,...
01:20Exercise 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...
01:19Cardiac Output I:Effect of Heart Rate on Cardiac Output
Cardiac output (CO) refers to the total amount of blood ejected by one of the ventricles in liters per minute (L/min). In a resting adult, CO ranges from 5 to 6 L/min, adjusting according to the body's metabolic requirements.
Effect of Heart Rate on Cardiac Output
Cardiac output adapts to metabolic demands during stress, physical activity, or illness. The autonomic nervous system regulates heart rate via the sinoatrial node. The parasympathetic nervous system decreases heart rate...
01:31Regulation of Heart Rates
The SNS increases heart rate through the release of norepinephrine and epinephrine, which act on beta-1 adrenergic receptors in the heart. This action increases the rate of depolarization in the sinoatrial (SA) node, the heart's...
01:25Correlation between ECG and Cardiac Cycle
A cardiac action potential originates in the SA node and spreads throughout the atria and the AV node in approximately 0.03 seconds. This results in the P wave in an ECG and triggers atrial contraction. The action potential is then briefly slowed at the AV node, allowing the atria to contract and fill the ventricles with blood before...
