    Carotid palpation (CP) does not accurately measure post-exercise heart rate (HR) and may artificially lower readings. This study found CP during exercise did not affect HR, but post-exercise CP significantly decreased HR, contrary to expectations.

    Area of Science:

    • Exercise Physiology
    • Cardiovascular Regulation
    • Biomedical Measurement

    Background:

    • The practice of using carotid palpation (CP) to determine post-exercise heart rate (HR) is debated.
    • External pressure on the carotid sinus may influence autonomic nervous system activity, potentially affecting HR and blood pressure.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of carotid palpation (CP) on post-exercise heart rate (HR) measurement at varying exercise intensities.
    • To examine if CP during exercise affects HR and if post-exercise CP influences blood pressure readings.

    Main Methods:

    • Twenty-one healthy females underwent exercise at 60% and 80% intensity.
    • Heart rate was recorded via ECG during the final minute of exercise, with and without CP.
    • Post-exercise HR and blood pressure were measured immediately after exercise, with and without CP.

    Main Results:

    • Post-exercise HR significantly decreased with CP at both 60% (12.4 bpm) and 80% (7 bpm) intensities.
    • HR also decreased without CP at 60% (6.1 bpm) and 80% (3.3 bpm) intensities.
    • CP during exercise did not trigger a carotid sinus reflex, and post-exercise CP did not alter blood pressure.

    Conclusions:

    • Carotid palpation (CP) may lead to inaccurate post-exercise heart rate (HR) measurements due to its HR-lowering effect.
    • The findings suggest CP is not a reliable method for determining true post-exercise HR.
    • The study highlights the importance of standardized measurement techniques in exercise physiology research.
