Heart rate and ventilatory frequency as dimension-dependent variables

E Asmussen, N H Secher, E A Andersen

    European Journal of Applied Physiology and Occupational Physiology
    |January 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Resting heart rate (HR) and ventilatory frequency (f) decrease as children grow. This study quantizes the relationship between increasing body size and declining HR and f in youth.

    Area of Science:

    • Physiology
    • Human Growth and Development
    • Biometry

    Background:

    • Resting heart rate (HR) and ventilatory frequency (f) are key physiological indicators.
    • Understanding their changes with body dimensions is crucial for growth assessment.
    • Previous research suggests an inverse relationship between these frequencies and body size.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To establish the quantitative relationship between decreasing resting HR and f with increasing body dimensions in children and adolescents.
    • To explore the relationship between maximum heart rate (HRmax) and height in taller individuals.

    Main Methods:

    • Resting HR and f were measured in 79 boys and 91 girls aged 0.07-20 years.
    • Height ranged from 54-198 cm.
    • Regression analysis was used to model the relationship between HR, f, HRmax, and height.

    Main Results:

    • Resting HR decreased with increasing height, following the equation HR = 6,408 . height-0.9015 (r = 0.8983).
    • Resting f decreased with increasing height, following the equation f = 5,969 . height-1.1691 (r = 0.8471).
    • HRmax showed a slight dependency on height (HRmax = rho-0.1642, r = 0.3796) in individuals from 149-198 cm.

    Conclusions:

    • The observed decrease in resting HR and f during childhood and adolescence aligns well with increasing body dimensions.
    • These findings provide a quantitative basis for understanding physiological changes during human growth.
    • The relationship between HRmax and height is less pronounced than for resting frequencies.
